seeing how the redskins name has come up again, just wanted to get you guys input on some names for us if we do lose redskins as our name.

I would vote for the Washington Grow Up You PC Crybabies.

I think we'll stick with the Redskins, though.

If the redskins lost their names, perhaps they'd just shorten it to the skins. There isn't anything racist about that name, unless they think we're being racist towards people with skin.

I gotta go with Gregg Easterbrook on this one and go to the classic:

Potomac Drainage Basis Indigenous Persons. "Persons" for short.

We'd be alienating our skeleton fan base...like Nicole Richie for example

I am conflicted on the issue. I met native americans who found the term "redskins" comparable to the "N" word. They felt it demonized and dehumanized there race. I don't feel the redskins as an organization at all perpetuate this belief but I sympathize with these folks.

If we have to change our name I hope it becomes the foreskinz.

That's funny because I've met Native Americans who tell me a mountain is being made out of a molehill here. I guess really you can please some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time. But you can't please all the people all the time.

This name thing has been going for so long now. It's not going to change so I wouldn't worry about it.

If they had to change the name, I'd vote for Warriors and go with the 70th anniversary uniforms.
