Obama Wants To Rename Washington Redskins
Presented with little comment but to ask what next? The New York Mediums? The Oakland Privateers? The Cleveland Beiges? The Atlanta Cowards?
The President explains his reasoning at 19:50...
President Barack Obama says that if he owned the Washington Redskins, he would "think about changing" the team name, wading into the controversy over a football nickname that many people deem offensive to Native Americans.
Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names like the Redskins offend "a sizable group of people." He said that while fans get attached to the nicknames, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place.
"I don't know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things," he said in the interview, which was conducted Friday.
...
the president appeared to come down on the side of those who have sharply criticized the football team's name, noting that Indians "feel pretty strongly" about mascots and team names that depict negative stereotypes about their heritage.

This motherfucker Obama is like the anti-Spock:
The needs of the few outweight the needs of the many.
Get your Chicago Blackhawks jersey, TODAY!
Cleveland Indians...
Florida State Seminoles...
Montreal Canadiens...
Life must be pretty fucking great if this is what we're talking and thinking about...
I refer to him as the Anti Midas. Everything he touches turns to shit.
I always called that Sadim.

Washington Mercenaries
Washington Parasites
The Washington Chicken Hawks. Now, that's PC
University of North Dakota is being forced to change its name from Fighting Sioux because of NCAA paper pushers even though the Sioux tribe supports UND.
they're Lakota
That's funny, but I haven't heard any complaints about the Vikings, Celtics, or Notre Dame.
What, the Fighting (Subhuman) Irish???
Piss off, we're drinkin' here.
Great point. Maybe "Redskins" isn't even demeaning? Aren't the traits of an Indian warrior are actually desired by modern day athletes? Why would a self respecting and intelligent Indian complain that his ancestors were a proud people who defended their distinct culture?
Now "Washington Niggas" would definitely be offensive. Right Barry?
Maybe the White House should be changed to the People's House
The White House could be called "The House those damned Brits and Canadians tried to burn down but only gutted it"
Peace and Love,
Your loving Canuk neighbours
PS: Baseball is a wussy sport. Real men play gladiators on ice or as we call it - hockey!
DC Anti Christs
The King's Team
More proof that unfortunately Mr. Obama's ego is waaaaay out of bounds here.
Really, how does one go from living as a State Senator on maxed out credit cards to being president to saying he may one day own an NBA team without every having working for a for profit company. This guy must have won powerball.
This comment confirms that presidents are CIA/NWO selected and have been since '63.
Won? More like The Devil and Daniel Webster.
Maybe he gives head.
While you're at it El Presidente, take care of those nasty cowboys that settled the wild wild west. You can fix them by calling their team the Dallas Sheiks or Dallas Mullahs or Dallas Bedouins, you know something you can be comfortable with. Its good that you can look past the national debt and Chicago murders and 37% literacy rate to focus on the meaningful stuff.
Washington Intruders. Official team of the NSA
The Washington Al-Shabaabs ...as bankrolled by friends of Langley...

Washington Amalekites shouldn't piss anyone off.

The Washington Traitors
(because it sounds like Raiders, both teams suck, and it'll be easier for bookies to keep straight)
what's with the repeated use of the word deadbeat? I wonder if he realizes he's disparaging underprivilaged who have to choose between their car note and feeding their family... doesn't get any more broadbrushed than saying when someone defaults is a deadbeat imo.
Washington Freebies are winning!
3 more years of this dipshit.

Rather than having us confront our sometimes uncomfortable past history, let us look to the present and confront our current history. Call a spade a spade, so to speak.
The Washington defaulters
The Washington bond sellers (cellars)

The Washington NaGGERS
An in-your-face option: Washington Injuns.
Fucked-Up presidents, not unlike yourself, come and go. The Redskins will go on forever. IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!
Washington D.C.'s original name was Rome, Maryland, and a branch of the Potomac River was called Tiber Creek, which was named after the Tiber river in Rome. Like Rome, Washington D.C. has 7 hills, whose names are: Capitol Hill, Meridian Hill, Floral Hills, Forest Hills, Hillbrook, Hillcrest, and Knox Hill."
So, its demise was foretold in the last book of the Bible?
Barack, just who really gives a flying fuck what you think? Now get back to sucking Jamie Dimon's dick.
Washington Regimes.
Washington Regime-Changers
Washington Coppertones
Ravens fans refer to the team from DC as the foreskins.
This guy in the white house really is a moron.
Yes, rename them the Washington Bloodsucking Lobbyists or Washington Government-tethered Entitilement Kings or Washington Banker Whores or Washington Congressional Retards. Fine alternatives all.
Notre Dame has a big pwobwem, Fighting Irish. How about "Pacifists"
Minnesota Vikings has bad connotations, how about Seamen. No thats sexist. Minnesota Sea Travelers
Boston Celtics,that has to go for many reasons. Boston Black Irish?
The term would be "dark Irish" which would then work equally well on both sides of the Atlantic.
Or the Washington Trayvons -- they get killed every week!
Instead of Redskins how about Native Persons of Color?
Or, as someone has said The Washington Rainbows-that would satisfy all the ethnic people AND the LGBwhatevers!
Forward w/ O as the mascot er mesiah
Had enough, USA?
Fuck off, Bath House. Take your beard with you.
Well, the President has weighed in, so the "Redskins" name is out.

Washington Slanteyes
Washington Ragheads
Washington Penny-in-a-round-room's-corners
If we can't have "Redskins", and will have to let go of all the jokes that go along with that, I suggest that they be renamed the Washington DHS.
Granted, I'll have to wait for a particular Supebowl before I can hear the gags related to "The DHS is up against the Patriots".
The impeachable Divider-In-Chief has spoken. He can rename his administration, "We're the fuckawee!" and the Redskins, "Where the fuckawee?"
SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS CREATURE, BESIDES SOROS'S MONEY, GOT TO BE WHERE HE IS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY?
There is an American Spring coming and this POS will certainly be willing to use force to crush it. Whoever/whatever is pulling him around by the dick is pretty fucking dangerous.
Let's just rename them after Obama, we can call them the Washington Thinskins....
This from the most racist president in US history.

As my old pal Spearchucker would say, every name is offensive to someone, if they want to feel offended.
One day whites will be offended to be called whitey, honkie, blanco.
If everyone was comfortable in their skin, none of this would matter.
If everyone would stop second-guessing how other folks feel, none of this would matter.
If I was Commanche, maybe I would support the Redskins. Who knows?
Are the Vikings offensive to Scandanavians? The Bengals? The Cowboys? The Saints?
For heavens' sakes the Browns???????
Youc'n call me Ray, youc'n call me Jay, youc'n call me Ray-Jay, youc'n call me Jay-Ray.
I think they edited out the bit where O'Bammy said, maybe we shouldn't have winners and losers, every game should end in a draw.
