Cut Griffin, sign Beck. Simple.i agree, beck's curveball is outstanding.

Be easy on Beck boys, if it weren't for him we wouldnt have gotten Griff. Good luck and Godspeed to the "Red Headed Stranger" wherever you may land.

Im still trying to figure out who decided it was racist, since it wasnt the Indians. The real racist term at that time was "Injun".

200 years ago, people called you by what the color your skin looked with the word skin after it. As much as people joke about whiteskins, thats what whites were called back then. African American/Blacks were called blackskins. Indians (both native american and from India and that part of Asia) were called redskins, and hispanics as well as chinese/japanese/korean ect were called yellowskins.

It isn't 200 years ago. I think there are many "real" racist terms out there for Native Americans. Also, are you seriously saying (or suggesting) that a team called the blackskins, with an African American person as a mascot, would not be considered racist? C'mon man!

N.B. This has got to be a flame.

Sucks ,I work just down the road .Traffic on the BW parkway (295) sucks .....and at all hours of the day and night.terrible. what has it done to home values? i know they were building tons of town homes between 295 and arundel mills. i never understood the design of "mills" like that, one story, have to walk 6 miles to get around, wastes so much land/space. potomac mills is the same way, great job, simon. much rather go to the columbia mall, used to enjoy the laurel mall before it got cancer

Again, what's the purpose of a team name that's derogatory?

Giants, Eagles, Titans, Saints....Wankers.

Don't see the self-aggrandizement or clarion call in the last one. Good luck selling jerseys with the name on.

We have this topic every year. The name stays, but if you think it's racist you should withdraw your support.

When did this thread turn into a "PC" Debating with the Enemy one?
