Would anybody like to discuss (1) how wicked psyched you are about a Redskins postseason game and (2) how wicked disgusted you are about the team's name?

The Washington NFL franchise inspires sycophantic loyalty, throughout the good and bad. Yet, the team’s name is almost universally despised as racist.

I spent two seasons referring to the “Washington football team,” determined not to utter the word “Redskins.” I eventually gave up.

Yes, I live in greater-DC, and I’m a Skins fan. I just wish the team would adopt a potato as its mascot and stop all this controversy.
