If a Western movie tried to get away with calling native Americans 'Redskins' without putting it into some sort of context, it would get a proper kicking. They're not going to change everyone's opinions by pretending that there's no problem, so why not take the money and make the change? It's not as if they've got anything to lose by taking on a new name.
Well, rightly so -- but I mentioned one Dan Snyder, a total asshole (Trump without the flamboyance!) who owns the damned team. His notorious "vow" not to change the name is SUCH an outrage; he's now fighting with the US Copyright Office over their decision not to protect the name -- and it's a bloody fight no one in their right mind (that's obviously HIM!) would undertake.
I suppose they could go back to the old name: Washington Senators. Of course that was the baseball team, but who knows, it might help their playing to be called the Washington Senators and have everyone beat up on them to vent their spleens.
Not necessarily since Damned Yankees has history and no yankee minds being damned. They have thicker hides and listen less to the PC BS that currently passes for discourse. PC BS is just one more way to divide people and to keep them from seeing what is happening right in front of their eyes, a political sleight-of-hand.
No, Justine, I am not. At one time I hoped to be the next Supreme Court justice but that gave way to other dreams, like driving in the Indy 500 as the first woman, and I was beaten to that as well. No, I'm just an ordinary girl who draws, paints, does needlework, cooks, bakes, and writes.
