Ravens Ring of Honor
A fairly long interview and it shows every life is important. To many its a name being scrolled but somebody loved that person.

Political Correctness vs Dan Snyder once again, it seems now sponsors of the Redskins including FEDEX, whose name is on the Stadium they play in, are asking Snyder to change the name of the team.

Request to take the racist name off you call political correctness?
Not that I am surprised, though.

to many its a racial slur - that should be reason enough to have changed the name long ago

im excited to know what the new name will be and what the new logo will look like

why shouldnt they change the name? it was a bad name in the first place

I don't call it political correctness, I absolutley hate this cancel culture nonsense but still think the name Redskins should be changed but there are those out there saying political correctness and bowing to the mob, etc.

A bad name from their former racist owner whose statue they took down. Still never understood why Sndyer has had the trademarks for 'Washington Warriors' for over a decade but hasn't used it. I know he planned to use it for an Arena Football team but that never happened.

Remember when CNN mocked the President about this? This must hurt CNN admitting Trump was right.

warriors would kind of suck as a replacement - so boring and obvious - they can definitely do better

for me the best names of teams in football are:

baltimore ravens (of course)
pittsburgh steelers
miami dolphins
the raiders
the entire NFC South

alliteration for the sake of alliteration is overrated

Yup. all they ever worried about is a window dressing. Their entire current campaign is based on trump because he is so embarrassing that it makes for uncomfortable convos over lates and egg whites.
"Biden will read briefs on national security", "Biden can drink water using one hand"........They offer exactly ZERO beyond that and when clinton lost last time, they blamed disillusioned voters for not giving their votes. And they didn't vote because nobody offered anything.
It's not just unimaginably low standard, there is no standard anymore. That's what Americans should be worried about, that trump or biden and GOP or DP are their only choices, while in reality it's not a choice, it's all the same.

Granted he'd have much better administrative staff (which counts for a lot), but Biden's comment about how police should shoot people in the back of the leg instead of the head feels like a fitting metaphor for the election.
