When will this wanna-be get his trap shut for him, because he simply cannot contain himself.

During his halftime essay, Costas brought up complaints about other team names like Braves, Warriors or Chiefs, and how that seems like "political correctness run amok," but said the Redskins nickname is different.

"These nicknames honor, rather than demean," Costas said.

I heard a story that if they change their name, they'll go back to the old R logo and change the name to Skins.

Costas is a tool, always has been, always will be.

I say they comply with the name change. Go from the Redskins, to the Scalpers...and only sell tickets on the street.

I believe in freedom of speech. The resolution of the problem is to just stop listening to him.

I don't consider "Warriors" to be limited to any particular ethnicity. Of course, if you incorporate a Native American mascot, then that changes things

From SNL Weekend Update, 1990:

Dennis Miller: Turning to sports, there's a big fight coming up next week, and here with some comments and insight is "Weekend Update" correspondent Chris Rock. Welcome, Chris!

Chris Rock: Thank you, Dennis! Next week, Evander Holyfield fights Buster Douglas for the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Now, I went to place a bet on the fight, and I found out that Evander Holyfield is the favorite! I have nothing against Evander, but didn't Buster Douglas knock Mike Tyson out? Doesn't that mean anything? What does a guy have to do to be favorite - kill Godzilla? Now, I'm at home the other night watching some old boxing movies, and by far the strangest one had to be "Rocky IV". I'm sitting there thinking to myself, "Two white guys fighting for the Heavyweight Championship of the World? Boy, that Spielberg's something else!" I mean, let's face it: white guys cannot box! Black guys fight better. Puerto Ricans fight even better. I guess the lower you go on the social ladder, the better you fight. For every good Puerto Rican fighter, there's an American Indian waiting to kick his ass! I feel so sorry for the Indians, man, because we took.. well, we didn't take.. you people took their land, and now they have nothing. Everybody exploits the Indians - you've got Mazola commercials, you've got "F-Troop", the Washington Redskins.. Washington Redskins, that's not nice! That's a racial slur! That's kind of like having the New York Niggers, okay? [ sighs ] Uh, Dennis, what was I talking about?

Dennis Miller: I think you were talking about Boxing.

Chris Rock: Yeah, I've got Buster Douglas in the eighth.
