      XPost: alt.niggers, dc.redskins, sac.politics       XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: nigger-lovers@disney.com              The real native Americans don't give a fuck one way or the other.              The Washington Redskins moved Friday toward what team owner       Daniel Snyder once vowed was unthinkable: changing their       controversial name in a bow to pressure from their largest       corporate sponsors and the fierce winds of societal reckoning       sweeping the country.              After years of resistance, the team said it was launching a       thorough review of the name. It did not share any details of the       process, but two people familiar with discussions among Snyder,       NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league officials that led to       Friday’s announcement said the review is expected to result in a       new team name and mascot.              “You know where this leads,” one of the people said, speaking on       the condition of anonymity. “They’re working on that process [of       changing the name]. It will end with a new name. Dan has been       listening to different people over the last number of weeks.”              AD       Asked whether a change was certain, the person said: “I don’t       want to say 100 percent. It’s very likely headed in that       direction.”              A second person with knowledge of the situation said, “It’s not       a matter of if the name changes but when.”              One of the people familiar with discussions between the team and       league said the change may “potentially” take place before the       2020 season, scheduled to begin Sept. 10, and the other said,       “It’s trending that way.”              The team said the review “formalizes the initial discussions the       team has been having with the league in recent weeks.” It did       not announce a timeline for the review.              https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/03/washington-       redskins-launch-review-controversial-team-name/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
