You are probably right. But at the same time I'd bet a lot of money that it was mostly white people that want the Redskins name to stay.

Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal should be available.

They won't be able to hire Stormy's shyster lawyer if there's a legal issue. I hear him and Belichick are kindred spirits. He'd end up there.

How ever you want to call it, Fascism, Socialism, Communism, all are popular Leftist ideas in our culture today. I am not talking about Liberals or Conservatives. Just Leftists.


Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

FWIW, while the term fascism originated on the right side of the European political spectrum, its characteristics are not endemic to any political wing.

Webster's dictionary defines the term as follows:
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

That certainly could be applied to far-left/communist/socialist regimes we've seen.

I'd say the world envisioned by extremist "Bernie Bros" would also qualify. To them, everything is about race, they care little about individuals, they wish for the government to fully control the economy, and they are entirely intolerant of opposing views.

Can the people who aren’t fans of the Redskins football team explain why they are so triggered by the possible name change?

Is it just about the wokeness/political correctness?
