I'm amazed WaPo gets away with such a poorly worded poll question.

But the results aren't super surprising. You don't see a lot of Native Americans out protesting. It's usually white chicks with time on their hands.

However, in the modern era, much like twenty or thirty years ago, it only takes one loud and obnoxious busybody being "offended" to ruin everything for everyone else.

I'm not offended, but I can see why people would be.
Certainly not a cause I would rally behind.

No.
Black it out, along with any graphical representation of the team name. Replace any written or spoken reference with "The Washington redacted", "The Washington team", or just "Washington".

If it has to be censored, own that shit.

Bold move, too. Do you have any idea how much they like Jameson, Guinness and fighting

Did you actually read the article? The guy didn't realize that it polled Native Americans, and when that was brought up, he basically said it was garbage because he wasn't polled.

Ray Halbritter is who liberals use to discredit the poll results like conservatives use David Clarke.

Sorry bud. Liberals are the ones that decide for everyone what is offensive or not. Not the actual "offended" group.

Not offensive because Irish people aren't whiny pussies.
