Bob Costas does it again!

[DMX7]

:lol

You know he wanted to say it, "what if the Redskins were the 'Blackskins', the 'Brownskins' or dare I say the 'Rednecks'?" Would people be outraged?

I love how he is not afraid to mix it up with the repugs.

[spurraider21]

name-calling is the best way to get credibility in political discussion. shows you have an open mind, tbh

Cry me a river, build a casino, and get over it.

They should have presented him with an Emmy right there, right on the fucking spot, right in the booth. That was a masterpiece.

[Biernutz]

Coatas seems to enjoy the drama part of broadcasting as late......Look for a political run.

A joke from jay leno the other night...

"A study shows 90% of native Americans do not find the name redskins offensive...90%! The name they do find offensive.........the Cowboys."

another caption for this would be "a sucker born every minute"

I used to like Costas, but between this and his :cry over guns, i've lost a lot of respect. He's still not as insufferable and punchable as Olbermann though.

I still don't know how this became such a big deal, no one ever gave a shit about this until recently, then suddenly during an administration that is trying to deflect from benghazi, horrible economy and spying on their own people, they have this shit. That or perhaps maybe Snyder is in on it and is looking to change the name, thereby sell more jerseys with new names. Hopefully that's not the angle and he doesn't give into the elites.

[BRHornet45]

I'm telling you it's simply just the times that we are living in. the media and the liberal white people who control it truly spend God knows how many man hours researching and preparing what will be the next agenda they want to push onto the public. every time you turn around they have a new one.

"we know that you're not offended, but we are going to be offended for you!" - sissy, white liberals.

[Chief Brody]

Didn't Snyder cite facts and references in his letter about the Native American apathy towards the name? He included some poll and a couple quotes from Chief so-and-so of the Harrah's Tribe iirc.

[Biernutz]

If they really want to keep the Redskins name a few contributions to some favorite
foundations and some season tickets will take care of it. If that won't work, call them
some pussy politically correct name like the Vegans.

I'm glad Olbermann went back to sports. I didn't watch him on MSNBC but I really
enjoy his sports show on ESPN and I see it when I can.

I don't even think that matters, tbh. I actually think Snyder weakened his argument with that tactic because it's a concession that it matters if people are offended. It really doesn't matter. If people are offended, so what. Get over it.

I'm late to this party but I just looked at some census numbers and apparently there are only like 2.9 million Native Americans in the US. That's 0.9% of the total population. And that includes Alaskan Natives who don't really count. So the real number is closer to around 0.7%.

So basically there aren't enough of them for any of this to really matter.

Native Americans haven't really mattered since about 1886, tbh.

I bet if you asked 100 people what they think of first when they hear the word "redskins," about 80 of those people would say... the Washington Redskins.

[Winehole23]

The U.S. Patent Office has ruled the Washington Redskins (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/wsh/washington-redskins) nickname is "disparaging of Native Americans'' and that the team's federal trademarks for the name must be canceled. The ruling announced Wednesday comes after a campaign to change the name has gained momentum over the past year.


The decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is similar to one it issued in 1999. That ruling was overturned in 2003 in large part on a technicality because the courts decided that the plaintiffs were too old.
The new case was launched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans. A hearing was held in March 2013.


Just like last time, the Redskins can retain their trademark protection during an appeal.

Washington Redskins Change Their Name To The D.C. Redskins

WASHINGTON—Following an outpouring of criticism from across the country, the Washington Redskins announced Wednesday that they are officially changing the team’s name to the D.C. Redskins. “We’ve heard the concerns of many people who have been hurt or offended by the team’s previous name, and I’m happy to say we’ve now rectified the situation once and for all,” said franchise owner Dan Snyder, adding that “Washington Redskins” will be replaced with “D.C. Redskins” on all team logos, uniforms, and apparel. “It was a difficult decision—and one that, frankly, I’m a little embarrassed took me so long to make. So hopefully we can now put this issue to bed and start cheering on our D.C. Redskins.” In light of Snyder’s decision, Cleveland Indians owner Larry Dolan told reporters he will change the feather in Chief Wahoo’s headdress from red to a “more appropriate” shade of red.
