I suppose that is progress compared to their habit of babbling out some nonsense about “liberal racism.”

Just one correction: It wasn’t an act of Congress but the threat of legal action by the Kennedy administration that forced Marshall to integrate the team. That makes for some wonderful irony that the stadium they played in, originally called “D. C. Stadium”, was renamed Robert F. Kennedy stadium in 1969, the same year Marshall died, especially given that, as attorney general in 1961, it was RFK who threatened to sue Marshall if he didn’t integrate.

Since his argument is that nothing should ever change, then the Redskins should revert to their original name of the Braves and move back to Boston.

It’s interesting that conservatives are now conceding that opposition to racist symbols is a liberal thing now.

Da Bears!

Is that what ditka is? I thought he was just another dumb Polack 😛

(Funny aside from following your link is that Poles are listed as using the slur Khokhols).

Bottom line is people are, generally assholes.

This is so stupid it’s appalling, I hope that owner keeps fighting for it and never changes it, because the Redskins are part of an American football history, and it should never be anything but the Washington Redskins.

Hmmm. Interesting logic there. Let me see if it always works.

“I hope that owner keeps fighting for it and never changes it, because the slaves are part of a American history, and it should never be anything but the niggers in chains.”

Yeah, something is stupid and appalling. It’s Ditka’s argument that racism and bigotry should be preserved because “history”.
