The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Just received the following text in an email. Makes an interesting point.

The federal government which has "Tomahawk" cruise missiles and "Apache", "Blackhawk" and "lakota"
helicopters - and used the code name "Geronimo" in the attack that killed Osama Bin Laden, Officially objects
to the name of the Washington Redskins.

Really?

Nice.

Are any of the names sighted (including Redskins) slurs? Just asking.

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe Indiana should be forced to change its name.

Its just all kind of funny to me how its mostly political and white america focused on this... but a lot native anericans live in conditions we wouldnt wish on our worst enemies. Why doesnt anyone focus on that first, then worry about the name of a football team.

Once Harry FINALLY retires, maybe this issue dies!

to "retire'" implies he's going to stop "working" - he's never really done that - this bozo needs to just go home - what a waste

Well he lost my vote. Even though I am not a registered voter in the state of Nevada, thus making me unable to vote for him or any elected official in the area....so there naw.
