Kinda has been another thing puzzling me. First, I agree with those thinking the name should be changed. Second, with all of the public outcry and people being sensitive and offended by it... why push forward just to keep your team name? Typically if a brand offends someone, and the point against keeping it has any merits... you change the name.
But if they manage to keep this up all season and any other broadcasters follow suit, this could be the end of the battle. |
Meh. Means nothing. You think Simms and Dungy have any influence on Snyder and the NFL? Dungie himself is a hypocrite with his anti-gay comments regarding Michael Sam. Being a bigot he's the last person that should be getting involved. I have listened to Washington beat writers on Sirius NFL radio and they are in defense of the name and site that there has yet to be a single large scale US poll that wasn't overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the name.
