Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
I actually wonder why the Cleveland Indians logo hasn't been the first thing to go. There's really no defending that one, it's a pretty awful caricature and clearly from more backwards days of sports logos.
I'm sure it's because interest in both baseball and the Cleveland Indians is nothing compared to football these days, but I feel like that one is far worse than the word "Redskins".

Going to be hilarious to watch this swarm through all the other sports and all the way down to local kids sport team names. One more step to becoming a nation of pussified Political correctness.
Good time to go buy memorabilia though.
Should change all those names too, since they have about the same amount of harmful intent as the redskins name.

You don't see black skin, but you see black people, colored people etc all the time. Hell they are used by official organizations and even a whole month dedicated to a certain group of people based on the color of their skin, that specifically uses the color to denote who.

This is really hilarious considering the original team owner changed the name from Braves to Redskins because he was a huge racist. Fun fact - the Redskins were the last team to integrate. The league forced them to by threatening to take away their stadium.

The ironic part is this has almost nothing to do with football. It was all a media concoction that started last year, and then a bunch of politicians decided to get involved. I'm pretty sure about 99.99% of football fans don't give a shit.
I know you were trying to be funny, but you should have said 20 years. 30 years encompasses a period where the Redskins were a fucking dynasty.

I loved watching Riggins run like an angry bull. I wasn't much of a Theisman fan though, to be honest I always thought he was kind of a pussy. Until I saw LT break his leg. I still think he's a bit of a puss, but for different reasons.
Dynasty or not, the first Joe Gibbs era in the 80s/90s had more success than several franchises have in their entire histories. Not just the newer clubs, either...look at the Jets. It's been a long time since Joe Namath, eh?
The Redskins had one owner get old and start losing his grip on the team and then had the misfortune of being bought by a dope with a lot of money to spend. It took Snyder over a full decade to finally back away from his free agent idiocy every summer. This shit could happen to anyone, what if the Rooneys somehow lose the Steelers after enough of them get old and die? No way to tell which bored rich person will decide they want to own a football team. Snyder won't be the last, and it's not something a team can bounce back from quickly.

Eh? This has already made it's way all the way through the lower ranks. The professional teams are the last bastion of racism.
