# | OT: Federal courts uphold Washington Redskins trademark revocation This issue IS a PR problem no matter what side anyone wants to take, and ultimately, the NFL WILL step in and pressure Douche Snyder to change the name because it's bad for the NFL image. The end game will be that Dan, the NFL, and the players (they get proceeds from licensing) will all make more money off the name change
And, in the end, even if the courts delay a final decision, this is where the true change will come from. The NFL is all about its image, and right now this team name controversy is causing them issues. It really won't be long before someone like John Oliver does an expose on the situation, and the public starts to put pressure on advertisers to pull their money from the NFL until its changed. This will happen, its inevitable at this point. Once the NFL starts to lose money directly because of this situation, the change will be swift and permanent.
Considering the door is open for retailers to make merchandise with the name and logo right now because the franchise lacks trademark protection, I'm actually surprised we haven't already seen more movement towards an official name change.
chris bosh and snoop
We were never winning a national championship with that offensive coaching staff. Our success during that era was too heavily predicated on our talent taking everything on their own shoulders and being fired up. Too many deficiencies in scheme and coaching on that side of the ball to put a championship caliber team on the field.
Hate seeing these defensive breakdowns from a Foster coached unit.
Eh, I'd argue that losing to Boise and the subsequent by-week caused the senior leaders to come down hard on the younger guys and turn the whole team around. I think losing to Boise and *cough* JMU *cough* was bad enough to propel them to winning the ACC.
The event drew dozens of visitors of all ages
DOZENS!!!!

# | OT: Federal courts uphold Washington Redskins trademark revocation I think where the true momentum for this is coming from (and just to get it out there, the process to get this team to change its name has been going on for 20 years now, its just that it finally got major political backing over the last few) is that, as a society, we're realizing that just because something in its original design or intent wasn't massively offensive to a group of people, it doesn't mean that it hasn't developed into being so.
You're right, any word can develop into a racial slur if its use eventually becomes so.
I will take issue with your comparison that someone with a weight issue being offended by a girl saying a shirt is so big being comparable to a Native American being offended by the team name. I saw that article, and that story was ridiculous, and I'm not sure its going viral for the reasons in the article. Fat shaming is bad... really bad, but it is not on par with racial issues. You can control your weight, you cannot control your race (despite what Michael Jackson tried to do).
Scrolling through their pictures, it goes from treadmill horse to skeleton. I was like "ouch", what did you do to her?
He is concerned about the pancaked duke player. OH MY GOSH ARE YOU OK?! OH GAWD JUST LAY DOWN AND DONT MOVE ILL GET HELP!
+42 for this response. It's gold.
That determined stare.....It'll get after ya
Ahem... Paging Trey Edmunds (see game vs Bama). Hopefully he's back to his old self!
I think HB is profiling.
2010... RMFW, Darren Evans, and David Wilson... Just sayin'.
Perhaps this one?
Just got done watching those movies with my kids, first time they've seen them. Awesome movies!
Man the 2010 season was tough on the emotions. I still contend that my favorite play from the 2010 Miami game was when Logan came in completely cold after Tyrod had his bell rung and completed a laser to Danny Coale for the 1st down to continue the drive.

# | SB*Nation Article: "Ranking the 5 best secondaries in college football for 2015" Just for a moment I imagined that scenario...
I just want to see one of backs break one long.... TD run this year. This is the kind of thing we've been missing! It just lifts the entire team. Hoping one (or two) of our backs can have a break out season (like JC's during the final 3 or 4 games last year).
I think we'd be pretty happy with 3k yards passing 63% completion rate and a 21:9 td/int ratio. Also had nearly 800 yards rushing and 13 more TDs. Could get us back to 10 wins.
Never spill a drop:
These breakdowns are probably more likely for us than for other teams just because Bud is so high risk/high reward. Usually opponents are getting 1-2 yards or stopped for a loss, but when they don't, it's more likely to be a 30+ yard play just by the nature of our scheme.
