Redskins Name Change Thread

From a Change The Mascot press release:

Every major Native American organization in the United States has called for the R-word’s removal.
 
Famous snowflake and leader of the PC Crowd, republican Tom Cole (also enrolled Chickasaw), supports changing the name. But someone who gets his news from a white supremacist blog pretends that he would tell Mr. Cole to his face that he is just being PC. Good stuff, sailor.
 
If sailor is in agreement with your position, your position is more than likely wrong and you should rethink.
 
When UNC inevitably has to change their mascot name, someone on the State board suggested, in light of the recent athletic-academic scandal, that their new mascot should be "Cheetahs."
 
You know what a Hoosier is? Please tell.

You probably meant something benign like this
https://indianahistory.org/stories/what-is-a-hoosier/

but what will get the name changed is this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_removals_in_Indiana

Geez, even the state name is offensive, "The Land of the Indians" ORLY?

That state name must really offend Indians. That's like cutting off someone's hand and slapping them with it. So that area is due for two name changes (three, bc Indianapolis). Act quickly to claim "Stolenland," one of the best historically accurate, non-offensive names.
 
Keep the name Redskins and get rid of the name Washington because that name is offensive. It tells people about liars and everything offensive in the country. Just call the football team The Redskins.

I've got to agree with The Reff here since the presidency and both chambers of Congress are controlled by the Republicans.

Ha no I didn’t mean it to be benign or otherwise. No one really knows WTF a Hoosier is. And yes, responding two years later.
 

I'm so bored that I opened this thread. DC does things completely different than The Vet used to. All vendors would buy their product and then resell it. We got about 15-17% per tray. We got our money immediately (as did every stadium I knew about). It seems DC must pay their vendors by check. This would have sucked to have to have waited to get paid.

At today's prices of $9/beer, a decent beer vendor would make about $250-350/game for baseball games and $500+ for football games without tips. That's not too bad for about two hours work for baseball and 3-3.5 for football.
