UK asks NFL to change Redskins name

Post by bonarae »

Now, will this move by the other side of the Atlantic become the last straw of the Redskins as a mascot name?

Perfect. Prevent the Redskins from playing in England. No NFL team wants to play there anyway.

Once other NFL teams get wind of this you may see other teams change their names to something racially insensitive in the hopes of not having to play in London.

Scotland is worse than England. Much worse. The British Parliament would have turned immediately red with the exit of all the hardcore socialist Scottish MPs if the referendum had passed.

Not racially insensitive, but how about the Detroit Pussies? Seems apt to me. Unfortunately.

Wales and Caernarvon castle is on my bucket list. We're planning a trip to Ireland (where I've never been either) with the kids and hope to take a ferry over to Wales and then drive on to London and show them Stonehenge (which is way cool) on the way.

I've always thought Atlanta should rename themselves the Atlanta Urban No Limit Gangstas.
