I have never actually heard anyone say "I have a lot of native american friends".

We should organize a boycott of the Washington Post and other publications until they stop printing the team's name.  If no one will print the team name I am sure the team would change it pretty quickly.

Lots of newspapers have already been doing this, no effect. Get one network that broadcasts NFL games to tell their announcers to call them "the Washington NFL" team and refuse to use the name/logo in their graphics packages, and the name will be changed within a week.

If Snyder changes the name to "Landover Landed Gentry," we all win immediately.

I've never been to Landover, but I'm thinking it's not really populated by the landed gentry?

You never went to the Capital Center or Six Flags?

Why would I go to either of those places?

I'm not into hockey, and wouldn't drive to Landover to see a Wizards game. Actually, it appears that the Bullets moved to DC the same year I did, 1997.

And i'm an adult who until recently was childless, so had ho reason to go to amusement parks.

You don't like fun?  Where did you live before you came to DC? 

Besides seeing numerous Capitals games at the Capital Center I saw the Harlem Globetrotters there in the 70's.  INXS and Bon Jovi there in the 80's.  And I went to Six Flags when they were called Wild World.  I remember when they got their first rollercoaster that they bought used.  And while riding it I saw all these extra parts sitting on the ground like they forgot a few pieces.
