The Washington Worthless Metaposting. Would be better if it was an audio drop of Snyder defending Donald Sterling instead.

GaussianCopula posted:The Redskins are still one of the most valuable franchises in the world and people who compare it to the Sterling case dont understandd the difference between changing your owner and changing the name of your brand. Like (basketball reference incoming) New Orleans just did from Hornets to Pelicans?

GaussianCopula posted:And they were renamed Redskins because they played in Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. Totally different in that you have a really inflated sense of Washington's football tradition or, really, any franchise's tradition short of the Lakers, Yankees, Packers, etc. The Redskins are not in that echelon. They're in a high tier echelon, but they're not one of the most successful franchises in sports.

If you can't commemorate the Trail of Tears, commemorate the trampling of the Bonus Army.

Cole posted:If it's not the case then where were people at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, or 77 years ago when the name originated? Nobody gave a poo poo for almost 75 years and only recently has it become an issue. Why? "Thing People Care About," and, "Thing that is actually an issue" are not the same thing. See African-American Slavery 1776, Exploited Immigrant Labor 2014.
