Washington Rednecks, Name Change

Washington Rednecks, Name Change Proposal
A possible symbol for the Washington Rednecks?

Bob Costas, whose lifetime of dedication to describing grown men playing children’s games has made him holier than you and me, has deemed that the name Washington’s NFL franchise has had since 1932 to be offensive and must be changed.

It’s an insult, a slur, no matter how benign the present day intent,” Costas huffed. “It’s fair to say that for a long time now, and certainly in 2013, no offense has been intended. But if you take a step back, isn’t it clear to see how offense might legitimately be taken?

Actually, Bob it was never meant as insult. Not today, and not in 1932. People and institutions don’t take upon themselves labels they feel demean themselves, and it wasn’t Philadelphians that named the ‘Skins.

Names are adopted because of the characteristics associated with it. Names such as the Vikings, Celtics, Hebrews, Spartans, Trojans and all Indian tribes were picked because the were associated with tenacity and courage.

Still, Bob, since we are tolerant and progressive here we are going to support you in your crusade. And, in the name of social justice, we are going to go a step further.

We are going to demand that the name of the Washington Redskins be changed to the Washington Rednecks.

That’s right those poor white folk who have run things for far too long and who you believe to the be cause of all the nation’s problems  must get their long-overdue comeuppance. The Capital’s football team must named for them.

We look forward to joining you in this fight albeit granted that you will be likely safely in the booth doing the play by play.
