Those Darned Redskins, Pt. Deux

a sample of what can be found in the comments section:

"All of these stinking, whiny, fascistic liberals purport that they like pure democracy and majority rule, so lets have a vote among the members of all Native American tribes to either keep Indian names for teams or get rid of them all together. The reason they won't do this ... because it's well known that the vast majority of Native Americans are NOT offended and most like the names. Stinking, whiny liberals don't really like a straight majority rule or a democracy of any kind. Each individual liberal is a narcissistic, pathetic, little, fascist dictator wanna-be that wants to impose and force their own beliefs and feelings on everyone else. Just like their messiah, the Islamic Sultan, Obama."

Well the guy bringing to the United Nations seems like he is against it.  The name is obviously offensive.  I wish they would just change it already.

Why do you need to announce your gifts to Native American groups. Just give them money if you actually want to help. Peter Angelos doesn't advertise the gifts the Orioles and he gives to charities.

It's so transparent...if not for the bad press over the name he'd never be giving these groups his money.

New uniform design:

Those are piss ugly. Where did you find this? I haven't been able to pull anything up. Every year there are rumors of new uniforms.

I've said it before and I will say it again.  This team will never be a consistent contender while Snyder is at the top.  Sure they may have the occasional winning record.  But they will never be a serious threat to do anything in the NFL.

Cursed.  Yes, they are cursed.
