did you really just say they don't have an opinion on their sports club being named after the confederate army leader and george washington's slave plantation?

I can read so yes that appears to be exactly what was said. Standing by to translate for you more due to your literacy challenges.

this must be all that "community" and "good citizens" i hear from JN, LC, and LB during the townhall.

I was wondering when the “community” poster would show back up!

We are here to talk to each other about talking to each other on changing to kinder gentler names. Please stay on topic.

Learn from History, but you cannot rewrite it. Some of you house wives mine as well be modern slave owners.. The lady that cleans your house is getting paid pennies on the dollar. The guy that mows your lawn is getting less than that.

Yes the Jefferson cup should be renamed because he was RACIST! They should call it the wonderful cup so everyone knows how wonderful each and all of our special children are.d

Snowflake cup it shall be!

i would use a geographic area, perhaps Rose Hill or Gum Spring. the reason being is Robert E.

Do you mean like the Lee Supervisor District, and the Mount Vernon Supervisor District of Farifax County? Those geographic regions, which the club serves?

hey, all you gotta say is "we want the last name of Robert E. Lee as a part of our club". i'll respect that a lot more than your appeals to authority. Do you have anything wrong with Rose Hill? Gum Springs?

The club serves Lee District, not just one of those neighborhoods. Fairfax County already updated the name of the park and rec center...in Lee District.
So, are you leading the charge to have the county change the name of the district? I could respect that a lot more than your hasty generalization.

While we’re at it, we should change the name of Washington DC (GW had slaves), Fairfax (Lord Fairfax has them too), etc... get a grip people.

petitioning a private club to change its name is surely quicker and more efficient than petitioning a government to change part of its name. that's probably why people want to change the name of "Redskins" and not "Oklahoma"

While you're at it, please defend the usage of the name "Lee" in "Lee Mount Vernon Sports Club"

We should just number everything like they do with schools in New York. Start at the top of the country and just start labeling the clubs Soccer Club 1, Soccer Club 2, etc...
