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.
