Encourage the Washington Redskins to change their name to the Washington Foreskins.

Created by A.S. on November 20, 2013

The current name of the Washington Redskins, the NFL franchise, is offensive to a group of people. This name come from a word which was used as a demeaning term for Native Americans. The word "redskin" comes from a time in which the Native American people were oppressed. It represents events like the Trail of Tears, during which many of the Native Americans died. Therefore, the name "Redskins" is not an appropriate name for a professional football team.No civilized society has racial prejudice within their organizations. And so we should, as a civilized society, change the name of the Washington Redskins to the Washington Foreskins.
