Surprising that it took almost a month for someone to react to that one way or another.

Olbermann had a good piece on this tonight.

Apparently Snyder is rallying up former Redskins players and paying them(?) to drum up support for the name.

So Gary Clark(e?) goes on local TV recently and basically says "Native Americans don't care, who of them has said anything...nobody" and Olbermann proceeds to name off 23 different tribal organizations from around North America who have formally opposed the name.

Did the Mother Fucker pay extra to yell?

Dan Snyder is fighting this in the most Dan Snyder way possible.

Let us know when that becomes the official name of an organization instead of just a slang term.

Admittedly the name is racist and I was never a fan of the team but I do like the logo.

As far as appropriated logos go it's one of the classier ones. Certainly better than Chief Wahoo.
