We are shocked (shocked!) to learn that a majority of Americans -- 71 percent -- are terrible people, according to a new poll conducted for ESPN. What, you may ask, are we U.S. Americans being terrible about today, and isn't 71 percent sort of a low number when you think about it? We are definitely
I'm sure opinions will change fairly quickly once we have the Indianapolis Palefaces, the Chicago Honkies and the New England Crackers. Oh, sorry, Crahckahs.
Oh and for all those fans of the immutable <em>history</em> of the name... yeah, that history only started <em>after the name was changed</em> from the an-argument-can-be-made-it&#039;s-respectful Braves to its current no-doubt-about-it-it&#039;s-racist slur. By a balls-out racist.
So let&#039;s see -- 71% of poll respondents support retaining the Washington DC&#039;s NFL franchise name, and 68% do not think that it is at all offensive. That leaves 3% who acknowledge that the current name is offensive, but want the franchise to keep it anyway. We might infer that this portion wants the team to keep its current name precisely <i>because</i> it is offensive.
...geez folks, hasn&#039;t politics taught you anything?! Its only racist when a <strong>SUPER MAJORITY</strong> of people say its racist!
It&#039;s offensive, the &quot;historic&quot; reasons for it touted by &quot;Chainsaw&quot; Dan Snyder and Lanny &quot;Hey, Warlord&#039;s money spends just as well&quot; Davis are nothing but homespun hokum, and everyone who isn&#039;t willfully obtuse knows that Snyder will leverage another fleecing of the taxpayers for a new stadium (FedEx Field opened during Clinton&#039;s second term, BTW) in exchange for &quot;graciously&quot; dumping the name.
This opens the field (gah! sports metaphors!) for all kinds of sportsball team names. Such as the: Drunken Irish Flamin&#039; Fags Smelly Frogs Cheap Ass Jews Lazy Spics Stupid Red Necks etc.
Is that like a real thing? Or is it like American Idol &quot;voting&quot; where they let you waste your time phoning in but the outcome has already been decided before the first call was made.
The Washington Power Bottoms. Somebody had to say it.
Fancy potatoes, right?

...well you do know that only two things come out of Texas, right?! I will give you a hint, one is &quot;steers&quot;.
I think no baseball players have been nicknamed &#039;Whitey&#039; since Herzog, so maybe there&#039;s been some progress.
