[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Many people in the DC area purchase tickets to watch a football team that has a racial epithet for its name. If you want to find people supporting a racist organization, they are a lot closer to home than Texas.

Do you honestly believe that people buying tickets to a Redskins game are cognizant of or intent on supporting a racist organization? I think the name of the team should certainly be changed, but that does not mean that the organization itself in 2011 practices racism, and it does not mean that a ticket buyer is actively supporting a "racist organizaion". Do you thoroughly research every company that you but products form to make sure they follow your pure ideals in all of theor hiring, advertising and business practices? I am not a Redskins fan at all by the way, and I have never purchased a ticket or anything else form the team, but I think your comparison of this to Perry's situation is silly.[/quote]This is exactly the attitude I've been battling with Washington fans for years.  You "think the name of the team should certainly be changed" but you're ok sitting by and letting it just be regardless.  In what world does this mean anything but that you are actively supporting said offensive name with this passive attitude?
