Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for July 29, 2014

Well said.

It’s really pretty simple. Imagine instead of “Redskins” the DC team had historically been called the “Washington N_____s”.

Would any announcer use that horribly offensive word? No. So don’t use “Redskins” which is just as offensive.

I’m part Indian and have no problem with the name of the Washington Redskins, neither do any other Indians that I know. The name was meant as a compliment.

There must be some cleverly ironic name they could use instead – the Washington White Elitists maybe

Historically, the woods were full of bigoted sports owners (and players), but is that an excuse today? No. Next problem to be solved? Let’s get rid of Thursday night football! Only play it on Sunday and Monday the way the football gods intended.

jonesb: Uncle Tom-tom.

Looks like Tank is going to have a Norts Spews moment.

Just change the team logo to a Russet Red potato—problem solved.

Oops—Russets are a white potato. Just make it a really red skin potato.

The Washington Redcoats?

“The Kansas City Chiefs 77, the Rawshington Wedskins nothing!” (Fumblemouthing……….)
