Washington's NFL team confirm they will drop racist 'Redskins' nickname

Washington’s NFL team have confirmed they will get rid of the name “Redskins”, officially distancing themselves from a term that has been described as a “dictionary-defined racial slur” by experts and advocates.

Nickname?

Ridiculous... it can’t be more ridiculous. Mass foolishness. What’s next?

Washington Foreskins...

Heidi Klum has exploited native imagery for years and promoted racist and sexually violent content on her German tv shows for years. She did a 'Cowboys and Squaws' photoshoot in Utah in 2014 heidiklum agt Redskins topmodel gntm NotYourMascot RedskinsNameChange nbc

FIDE confirms that in official Chess games, white no longer makes the first move. IRMA confirms that in Jazz performances, only the black piano keys must be used from next Thursday onwards.

It doesn't matter. American pro sports is becoming an irritant more than a pleasure. They continue to implode.

I'm thinking it doesn't much matter - sports is pretty much over at that point. Once it turned political - it lost it's appeal.

Umm it’s not racist

BOO! What happened to compromise? When diced and seasoned properly, then baked 450°F for 30 mins, redskins can be a simple, delicious addition to any meal! redskins cancelculture

I still think Washington Allskins is pretty inclusive, and not a vast change...

Not racist moron Indians are not a race! Learn what you are talking about!

That’s what money does. Thank goodness to Nike.

What next? Has anyone told The All Blacks?

Washington 'Snowflakes'.

I vote for the Washington Filibusters.

I hear the new name will be the Stormtroopers.

Oh fuck yeah bud

It's not a nickname, FFS.... It's part of the team's name. It's like saying the 'Hotspur' bit in Tottenham Hotspur is a nickname. Spurs is the nickname.

I thought you were supposed to be unbiased journalism? Putting opinions in the headline just shows how much of a political rag you are

Why is Redskin racist?

The Washington Foreskins.
