Re: NFL - Washington name change

Why not just drop the dumb yank mascot shite and go with Washington DC? As for Redskins, I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did. Just an outright slur. Yeah nah. Team names > boring bland FC, RFC, etc. As for the name, it's funny, because in a way the football team being named Redskins helped ch...

Re: NFL - Washington name change

Well I haven't posted here for a very long time. The accusations of the quality of the poster going down are interesting. Perhaps unfounded. However there does definitely seem to be a clear rise in the prima donna.

Re: NFL - Washington name change

It highlights how unusual the Redskins name is and how is should be gassed. The Redskins is the most egregious but not that unusual https://scatteredthoughtsandroguewords.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/sport-teams-with-indian-names.jpg https://www.sltrib.com/resizer/FTYjCiBLPBUieULlzAAlP8bxYhE=/970x0/...

Youngs should just retire on the pitch. We had a free play and he still couldnt feed the backs. Such an obvious area we needed to change after the world cup.
