I don't remember which station/announcers decided to call them 'Washington' when the Packers played 'the team' recently. Yesterday I heard Howie Long on Fox call them 'Washington'. Zombie--who was announcing the Washington game yesterday? We may need to begin to put some public pressure on the bad boys.

How about calling it "the team from Washington" or "the Washington team" or in fact, just "the team"? <br /><br />That's sufficiently vague and non-threatening enough to marginalize "the team" into choosing another name for branding purposes. It essentially takes away the team's identity, and performs a service for the team: if you want to be seen as racist, go ahead and stick with the Redskins. However, we're going to take the high road for you.
