It was a political hit of course, and frankly one that was long overdue. I concede absolute shaudenfraude at all the drunks lamenting the death of "tradition"; and I couldn't help but notice how they were all of similar skin tone.
As I understand the "civil rights" argument put forth by traditionalists; first they got rid of blackface now this, how is a white man ever to show his love of minority culture and bridge the gap.
Well lets be clear then. Calling the football team of the nation's capital the Redskins has the same flavor as say the Hamburg Hebes, or the Ankara Armenians. Those cultures were decimated by cruel acts of state. To name teams after them would be to celebrate those acts.
So fuck the chief and good riddance.

maybe they should of actually hired a red skin, most of them are unemployed anyway.
without little racist reminders such as this, we may forget about the red man entirely.
As an alumni, I have to say that this is long overdue. However, don't kid yourself about his being a political hit, or the will of the people. The Chief is dead because the NCAA wouldn't allow schools to hold tournaments with offensive mascots.
That's why we still have the Redskins, the outrageous Indians logo etc.
this happend several weeks ago
