WASHINGTON REDSKINS

I've never been able to go whole hog, so to speak, in supporting the Redskins (I tend to get my "Hooray for DC!" energies out with the Wizards, Nats, and CAAAAPS) . And it isn't just because football for me is as interesting as watching someone else play video games. Mostly it has to do with that cringe-worthy name (an ethnic slur, for God's sake!), and the belligerent unwillingness to change it, or acknowledge that it's kind of fucked up.



So when stuff like this attempted mascot at the 1995 Pro Bowl happens and make the whole issue seem rather moot, it's a kind of relief. I mean, are you really going to try and argue that?



Also worth noting: how absurdly adorable this Miami Dolphin is. I've always liked them because their logo is a little dolphin wearing a football helmet, but this guy is past nuts. Talk about cute overload!
