Oh, thanks for that. Now I'm involuntarily trying to imagine an ABBA music video of Hail to the Redskins.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It's a slippery slope this woke stuff.
Should the "cowboys" be worried about name changes?


Isn't that what little white kids do? Play cops and robbers and cowboys and Indians? What could be more innocent Dunno

According to the film ‘Tombstone’, The Cowboys were one of the earliest forms of organized crime in America.

If the film is to be believed (it isn’t), then kids who are fans of the Dallas Cowboys might grow up to be cattle rustlers.

It’d be funny if they went with the ‘Washington Heap Big Injuns’.

Danny, the owner, isn't doing this for moral reasons. He's only doing this because Fedex and Nike threatened to remove their sponsorships.

Did I say he was doing it for moral reasons? Did I?

Boy you love reading things that aren't there. I was merely adding to what you said, not implying you were thinking  it.

And you love addressing points no one raised. If you’re going to respond to a specific post, your reply should be somehow related to what you’re quoting. This wasn’t.

Duide, this is a message board, not the CERN collider.

I have been a lifetime Washington fan. I know the history of the owner. I was talking about him, not you.

How is the owner not attached to this subject? He's been pressured for years long before now, decades in fact, to change the name. The fact it took other rich corporations to get him to do this is relevant. 

He wouldn't have done it if those in his own class with power had not said anything. And I really am not giving Fedex or Nike that much credit either. If the Redskins had the same record as the Patriots and were winning Super Bowls year after year like the Pats have, not sure Fedex or Nike would be doing this now. But the Redskins suck and I think that played more into why Fedex and Nike did what they did in putting pressure on the owner.

I think we should change the name to the "Washington Atheists" and our mascot would be a barbecued kitten.
