OT: Fantasy Football Index question (1 Viewer)

[GiantsRule]

Picked up my copy of FF Index yesterday. Despite the news, suggestions, and projections being outdated or downright laughable, it's still the best presentation of statistics and rookie background information of any magazine out there.

I noticed something while flipping through it that I never realized before. If you look at the final pages of the mag where they provide team-by-team breakdowns, you'll notice that they put the state and name for every team on the appropriate page (ex: New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, etc.). However, for the Redskins, they simply list "Washington". As I read through the section, there's no mention of "Redskins" "Skins", etc. throughout that portion of the magazine.

While I haven't read it cover to cover yet, is there a reason they refrain from referring to the team by name? Are they offended by implied stereotypes? Is the publishers/editors of Native American descent? Do they apply the same beliefs to the Kansas City Chiefs?

[i was extremely disappoint with fantasy index this year. It had very shallow rankings and very little of substance in it. It shame because in the past it has been one the best fantasy magazine peroid if not the best.

I find that it has become like 95% of the others noting more then a 200 page advertisement for there website. Based on the quality of the magazines this year there isn't a website other then FBG that is worth subscribing to.

I have found only two magazine based on their content that would worth using on draft day and only one that had information in it to be usable during the season.

the two are

TSN fantasy Owners manual

and

FBG's

I was also disappointed in one of my favorite fantasy guides this year (Pro Football weekly) it has really gone downhill since it has team up with sportsline.

Yes, and yes.

Was this ever addressed or was it assumed?
