Let me save them some time and money on that "thorough review." The name is racist. Change it.

A review! Now? After all this time has passed, and it's not like this is a new issue, they pull this garbage. Bullbleep "organization."

Just call them the Skins. Many fans have been using that since who knows when.

"Washington Crackers" is obviously the correct choice.
When we lived in the DC area, we'd paint our faces and go to a few games every season.
The "redskin" name has left the racism behind long, long, ago - it is about the team, not any race. Same for the Atlanta Braves and KC Chiefs. They were using those names to convey a fierce team who works hard, trains hard and wants to win. That isn't disrespectful towards anyone. Those are admirable traits, yes?

There's been talk of changing it for ages, and now is the perfect chance. Just do it. People will adapt. If they are TRULY cheering for the team, then why should it matter if it's changed? The team is still the team, but with a name that is not blatantly racist.
