Should the Washington Redskins Change Their Name?

[Mudd]

One thing's for sure; It's going to take a lot more arm twisting to get Dan Snyder to make that change.

He will never change it. It will have to be a new ownership.

The day he changes it he'll be declaring that it's his idea and what he wanted all along and if it hadn't been no force on Earth could have moved him.

He sees the same therapist as Donald Trump and they're both wasting their money.

They shouldn't be compelled to, but they should, just as a matter of common courtesy to our fellow man.

Agreed. And if they really want to celebrate their local heritage, may I suggest the name "Washington Bureaucrats".

They shouldn't be compelled to, but they should, just as a matter of common courtesy to our fellow man.

And anyway you'd think they'd love the opportunity to change the name to something that is currently more vicious sounding. Redskins doesn't sound as intimidating now as it did in the 1920s. Native Americans in 2015 are stereotyped more as reservationists, environmentalists and casino owners. Wouldn't they rather be something like Tigers or T-Rexes or something that currently inspires fear in the opponent?

I hear people constantly say that the Raptors is a weird and outdated NBA team name.

I really do like the potato idea. That would be so cool.
