Did you hear? The Washington Redskins are changing their name.

Yeah, Washington is just too embarrassing these days.

It's about time, "Redksins" doesn't make any sense.

Ed, the redskin in redskin peanut refers to the skin around the nut kernel, as you may well know. No racial connotations there. But you may have stumbled onto a fitting compromise for this dilemma.
Daniel Snyder may go for the name "Washington Redskin Peanuts" which doesn't offend anyone and retains the controversial name he won't let go of.
Of course, if he really wanted to fix the 'Skins problems he'd sell the franchise to an owner who'd leave the football operations to football experts.

Okay, so we'll establish some charitable organizations for peanuts. Anything to shut those Gooberhuggers up.

My high school also used the name...it is also considering the issue

The entire school and the nearby bridge have elegant Indian themes.

They could change their mascot from an Indian Chief to a Smurf, and call themselves the Blueskins.

I knew an avid fan who thought they should just change the pic to a potato and keep the name.

But then again he didn't think OJ did it.

Good idea guest but in the age of twerking and tweeting and revealing selfies I'm not sure people know what shame is anymore.

They could change their team name to an unpronounceable squiggle, as Prince seemed to once do?
