What's in a name?

Good golly, there's a group of folks who want to change the name of the Washington redskins football team, because, they think, the name reflects badly on Native Americans (in other words, Indians.)  The "mascot" is the head of an Indian with headdress.

So I have a solution.  Keep the name and can the mascot!  There are other things that have red skins.  Red skin potatoes.  Red skin frankfurters.  You could change the team's nickname to the "spuds" or the "hot doggers."  Oscar Mayer may even chip in a few freebies if they go that route!

The only thing I worry about with my favorite team is whether they'll ever have a winning season (Chicago Cubs) on Day 231!
