I don't follow professional sports, since the game is fixed. But I might have a solution to this teapot tempest.
The putative problem is the name Washington Redskins (as in Washington DC). Redskins as a stand-alone term is rather offensive.
So Charles Krauthammer suggests changing the name to 'Skins. That kinda works, since Washington skins us alive.
I think a better new name would be the Washington Reds, to recognize that fact the city has been taken over by communists.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

"the game is fixed"? What?!
What makes you think that? Any evidence?
You mean "Say it ain't so, Joe! Say it ain't so?" When in the history of mankind was so much money not under control... ?
I recall Beano Cook schooling a radio interviewer that even college sports are fixed, at least to the extent that the coach checks the point spread before he hits the 50 yard line, since he has to work to pay off the "boosters" that paid off his players. He does not have to win, but he does have to pay off.
And the point spread system was developed to eliminate the last of the risk to the bookies.
To not understand that pro sports is fixed is to be culpably naive. The one slight exception is "championship wrestling" where the actors can, if the crowd demands it, take a victory if it will advance the audience participation. And, there is no betting on championship wrestling, so it is cleaner than say the NBA.
Stop following pro sports and spend the time building a business. You'll be doubly benefitted.
