  1. I think they should have just stuck with Washington Football Team. Anyway, it’s much better than their previously racist name. Indians, Braves, Chiefs are all debatable. Redskins was the most blatantly racist name in all sports.

    1. Do you have a dedicated cry room in your basement, Wesley? Was the ever a person so readily triggered by anything and everything?

    2. Hi Bob, racism doesn’t make me cry. It just disgusts me. Do you have a dedicated room in your basement where you host Klan meetings?

    3. It disgusts me too, Wesley, but I don’t dedicate my life to looking for it in every nook and cranny to the point of obsession. And if you want to find real racism, look into the history of your vaunted Democrat party.
