RE: Redskins considering name change... how do you feel?
i lived in Virginia for a number of years and the Skins being called racist was never mentioned by anyone. I lived in a city of 50% minorities and racism in a general sense was never mentioned. I believe a lot of this, and the coporate and public overreaction is damn near insanity.
Can't say i know any native americans but I do remember reading they don't care about the names of the teams. This is probably mostly "white knights" doing this, and i find it more humorous than anything else. I haven't been a fan of the Skins since Riggins played for them... and that was a Looooooong time ago.
i knew a guy whose father played against John Riggins in high school and he told me that John could take on an entire other team easily on his own. He was truly special, that is for sure.
