Streatham Redskins

[steveo]

I once went to a fight and an ice hockey game broke out.

The Washington Redskins (NFL) are contemplating changing their name.

Streatham Native Americans anyone?

I was once evicted from Streatham Ice Rink during a Redskins game because I'd had the audacity to take my own beverage, in this case, a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label, of which I drank from copiously. The fact I was also hideously drunk on arrival is neither here nor there. Barstewards!

There's an NFL reporter on UK radio who refuses to call the Redskins by their name as he considers it racist. Which is why there may be a name change as it's not just him who thinks so. Perhaps if Streatham go the same way they could think of something more suited to being a South London team.

It's definitely not just him. There are quite a few newspapers and TV outlets in the US also refusing.

There is the debate about why the Kansas City Chiefs whose (majority white) fanbase don feathered headgear and do a tomahawk chop after TDs don't seem to come in for the same.
