Ahh, the Washington Redskins. It’s one of the last few remaining professional sports teams with a racist name. I know, I know, they say it’s not a racist team name. But actually it is. If you don’t think so, just imagine having a team called The Whiteskins or the Blackskins.
There are many Redskin fans who say the name can’t be changed because that would be breaking with tradition. Well, I guess they have a point. Racism has been a longstanding tradition in the United States. And let’s face it, Native Americans have always been a pretty easy target. Isn’t it a little ironic having a bunch of black guys playing for a team with a racist name though?
Anyway, in my spare time I went ahead and solved the whole controversy. The Redskins can stop being racist and they don’t even need to change their name! All that is required is a simple logo change.
Isn’t it brilliant? By changing their logo to a redskin potato, they will no longer be racist! And just imagine all the delicious potatoey snacks they could serve at the games.
