UPDATE — 07.13.2020 10 AM EDT: No new name yet, but the racist one is now retired. Too late coming — but the right outcome. Been posting/blogging about this deplorable name — for now over three decades, on the internet. But it is… done.

UPDATE — 07.23.2020 9 PM EDT: John declares the old name not racist — and waxes nostalgic for the time when teams cold be called “Black Crackers“, and such. So predictable. End, updates.

John is all but sure to add to this, but at the moment it is Paul explaining (irrationally, he admits) why a team name he doesn’t like — one that insults indigenous Native Americans (on skin color alone) — shouldn’t be changed.

Well, those are some highly-privileged shoes he’s tap-dancing around in. I think if the team was known as the Washington Jews — or worse — Kikes… his tune would change immediately. [For those of you keeping score at home, here is where I said three weeks ago that these impotent dying old white boys would fight this re-emergent justice campaign.]

Yes Paul, reducing any group to one attribute based solely on racist or xenophobic bigotry is… wrong.

Paul — just get over yourself. Cue John in 5… 4… 3…

I’m out.
