Isn't that the truth.

Right now, Redskins is not the biggest slur in their name. Washington is. Their city was named after a slave owner that while fighting to free one group of people chose to keep another in bondage. Yes, he expressed distaste for the practice, but never released his own slaves because of the financial ramifications. He didn't want to have to pay labor. Cheap bastard. This sick and evil man is should not be honored by having a city and team named after him.

I propose they change the name to the Black Lives Matter Redskins.

I have a dream, that one day a guy From CNN will accost a black Redskin player coming out of the locker room and stick out his mike and say, Mr. Whosis, can I ask you your opinion of what's going on right now across the country with the protesters? And the player saying pleasantly, "I don't actually give a shit."

The right thing to do is to change the name of the city to Black Lives Matter City.

Then all the teams will follow.

Just call them the Patomac Ass Wipes.

Potomac means River of Swans. Swans are white.

[Copper]

[LuFins Dad]

Black Swans don’t matter.

[jon-nyc]

All Swans Matter!

[Doctor Phibes]

Swans are assholes, in my experience.

They're just privileged ducks

[LuFins Dad]

That's a White Swan wearing black feathers. Probably swam through an oil slick.

[Horace]

Saying all swans matter at this time would be like if after 9/11 you said all buildings matter. Except if the WTC was filled with black swans, and also all those planes were filled with swans, and the other buildings were filled with swans, and also if George Floyd was a black swan, and the cop who killed him was a white swan.

[Horace]

Swans lack the body mass to compress a swan neck by kneeling on it, since swan necks are well understood to be both large and very muscular. The comparison is thus unscientific and probably also racist.

[Doctor Phibes]

In England it's illegal to kill a swan unless you're the Queen.

That's actually also true for Americans.

[Catseye3]

So only the Queen can kill Americans???

[Doctor Phibes]

I think the justification was that if you allowed the hunting of animals that wander about as though they own the freaking place, making this dreadful trumpeting noise, then the bloodshed would never end.

I'm not sure why it's illegal to kill swans.

I thought Potomac meant Horse river or something.

Don't forget that Washington also farmed tobacco. Can you imagine the number of people who died from lung cancer due to him?

[LuFins Dad]

@89th Especially the number of African Americans that died from lung cancer... The white people had it coming.
