Why wont ESPN man up and say Redskins?

[Sports Enthusiast]

This world has become way too PC. They had no problem saying Redskins for all these years now because of all this nonsense they won't say it? Our world is soft. Hearing a blowhard like Dan LeBatard call them the "Washington Racist Things" for example seems a little unprofessional. They act like those involved with the organization are all terrible bigoted people. Hell most of the players aren't exactly highly educated and probably couldn't even tell you what a "Redskin" even is.

It's the same as any other company, the people at the top got a bunch of emails complaining about it so they sent out a memo.

Also, it IS a racist name, the only difference between it and the n-word is that the Indians got wiped out so we in general don't have to care about their modern-day plight. If we're getting into truth-telling here, that is.

I can't make any sort of reply that isn't political, which means that this thread can't exist here.

The topic has been beaten to death on the politics board, but you're more than welcome to pour more fuel onto that fire there.
