Aunt Jemima. Uncle Ben’s. Now Eskimo Pies. When will Redskins change their name? (1 Viewer)

It is posts like Mike Jones makes on Tweeter which would make me say, "screw it, I am staying with the Redskins".

friend of mine is a huge Redskins fan- his basement has tons of TVs and all kind of pennants, jerseys, signs etc for the Washington Redskins-  not to mention clothing and hats..  is he, as well as all the other fans still allowed to wear their Redskin gear, or will they shamed and cancelled by the internet mob??

gotta be fired at the very least.  fired into the sun.

 
The Washington football franchise confirmed Monday that it would be changing its nickname after 87 seasons, though it did not reveal a replacement. 

In true Washington fashion, the Washington Post reports owner Daniel Snyder's "preferred replacement name is tied up in a trademark fight." It sounds like bullying someone else out of their trademark might be Snyder's final boss before he can finally do the right thing and announce the new name. He's only had 20 years to think about this. Week 1 is 62 days away. The Washington football franchise could be donning some default Madden create-a-uniforms against the Eagles.

Always thought the Redskins name should be changed but I hate seeing the names of "Tribes" being lost forever.  What is the difference between The Fighting Irish and The Fighting Sioux? In 20 years little kids will be saying 'Momma..what is an Indian?"

Lol you can find one person or a few people making pretty much any ridiculous argument you can dream up.

You can probably find 10,000+ people in this country that think all black people should be hanged.  Another 10,000+ that think all white people should be shot.  Another 10,000+ that think all liberals should be gassed.  Another 10,000+ that think all conservatives should be thrown off a cliff.

But one random chick in Australia thinks we should rename the adam's apple and it's noteworthy?  Okay.

 
My wife just brought home some Eskimo pies and I had one...only felt a little guilt after the second one.

But this has been the click bait tactic of the general media for a while. There is an art to taking something as obscure as this and making a full story about it. This is why Twitter is a treasure chest to reporters. They have a talent where they can take 1 tweet and frame it as if it's a whole movement. Problem is most people see it in print or on a site and just start sharing and quoting it as if it was fact.

It's particulate despicable and shows how little credibility there is in "reporting" these days. IMO.
