I love living in DC–I’m a native born and bred–but it is HUMILIATING how many people defend the name of the Washington Inappropriate-Racial-Epithets. If you ever feel like depressing yourself, check out the comment section for any article in the Washington Post that dares suggest a new name for the football team. Sigh.
Braves fan here..You know they used to be known as the “Crackers”—I could never figure out if it was short for fire crackers or racist whites. How weird would that be to see our all black outfield wearing uniforms that said “Crackers” ???
Living in the DC area it offends me to no end that Snyder refuses to change the name of the team. He must have some power complex; or he’s a racist dick, whatever fits. Everyone calls them the ‘Skins anyway, because who can stand to say the whole name??

Red Sox–Braves world series!!!
But mgabrys, it’s not like there are any Native American actors. Except, maybe, the ENTIRE CAST of the Navajo dub of Star Wars!
The Red Tapes would be a majorly cool new name…
