The Redskins are finally changing their name. It's been on the news that FedEx and other major sponsors told them they were pulling out of sponsoring the team unless they change the name immediately.
That was the preciptation for the comment. Redskins....money talks and bullshit walks...change it...no...change it we own the stadium...ok

I can honestly say of all of the bullshit in north america there is nothing that irritates me the same as racism. The dumbest most inbred tnought that ever evaded a persons mind. That somehow the tone of skin can predict anything.

PERIOD.

I was tempted to cheat and look it up, but I'm stumped.

Will you at least let me say, "oh shit, I shoulda known that one" after you tell me ?
Well as short as I can make it. In 1943 when Cleveland was awarded a franchise in the NFL they ran a contest in the Plain Dealer(local paper) to come up with a name for the team. Paul Brown was hired as a rookie Head coach before the name had been finalized. The contest name picked was the Panthers. Paul Brown caught wind of the name and realized that there was a perennial loser semi pro team called "the panthers" in Canton and immediately cornered McBride(owner) about it saying no team he coaches is going to be named after some losers. So they ran the contest again. Now heres where it gets interesting. Joe Louis (The Brown Bomber) was the biggest thing in sports at the time, he was a god. Well there were literally thousands of entrys saying to pick The Cleveland Brown Bombers and McBride decided he liked just the Browns used. So the team got named the Cleveland Browns after Joe Louis making them the only professional major sports team named after a black man. Oh and they paid 1000 to both winners of the contests just to be fair. 1000 was a ton of money back then. One more thing, there was a attempt to sort of hide this and pease the racists and the story changed to they were named after Paul Brown. That simple isnt true and I have been told that by the browns personal dept several times. David Modell told me once, who would spend a fortune trying to get a NFL franchise and then name the team after their rookie head coach who had never won a single professional game

Isn't it ironic that, after all of that, they are still a losing team? Serious question, though...Is it really racist to name the team after "The Brown Bomber" when that was the nickname name Joe Louis went by? Is that any different than being called "The Italian Stallion"? My grandfather was a boxer in the 30s and 40s and he went by that nickname long before Rocky came out.

Wait a minute, aren't they undefeated this year so far:D
LOL! The company I work for is a small company based out of Cleveland so I have a lot of fun busting on them about the Browns, even though I'm really not a football fan. I did some work down in KY last year and the guy I worked for is an administrator at the VA hospital down there. He was telling me that the Browns actually donate a shitload of Super Bowl tickets to the VA every year to be given to disabled vets. He said that someone from the Browns said that they will keep donating their Super Bowl tickets for as long as they aren't playing in it, because they have no use for them :ROFLMAO:

unrelated topic...all of those stupid names should change...tarheals...are you kidding?

Redskins...it bothers me forever and i am only barely native status.

That is nothing...get rid of that smiling joe indian for the Cleveland Indians...

The blackhawks are ok because that is a warrior...and they kick ass.
Instead of Tarheels, North Carolina Take-a-Knees ?
Instead of Redskins, the Washington Buttered Redskin Potatoes.
Instead of Indians, the Cleveland Many Races
The Blackhawks are ok because they are not the Whitehawks.
How is it possible that the Patriots still exist in New England? Shouldn't they be the New England Indigenous People Killers?

wont pay for that...fucker should get a job...not be mentally ill...not be fucked up for whatever reason..

I would never choose your version of things...I will pay EXTRA to help the people that got fucked over by life.
Learn America before bashing.

We have Social Security that pays for those with actual mental retardation or other actual disability besides laziness, and those over 62 or whatever the retirement age is. Working people pay into this, and it supports both them in their retirement and the people you mention from birth.

All the other handouts that we have for all the people that needed their votes bought is the problem.

There is a whole class of lower-middle-class people in America that pay NO TAXES because of their low income, and actually get free money on top of that at the end of the year. That is a fucking problem.

Unfortunately not working and being lazy is too easy and is sustainable.

Real estate agent friend of mine fell off a roof, he was a framer. Broke a femur and his back is all jacked up. No more framing career. Could have got 100% disability. Nah changed careers to something less demanding on his body. Doing fine now with no government assistance. Then I know other people with a bad back that don’t do shit, and won’t for the rest of their time on earth.

I was a Saints fan.
They all tried to say that it wasn't disrespect.
They knelt in England, then stood for God Save the Queen so they didn't disrespect anyone LOL
The people whose ass we kicked to secure their rights...
And the fucks supposedly have college degrees LOL

I’m not sure about stats but these super rich people are dying on the vine. Most racing is hurting I think. I suspect pro sports views are way down. Hollywood isn’t putting out much. Think I saw where Robert Dinero was going to have to get by on 7m this year, way down.
This is all unrelated to Coronascam.

I’m not sure the cause of it. I do know recreation stuff has been selling like hotcakes last few years.
