Potatoes

That the Washington, DC football team still calls itself the Redskins is a disgrace. You have heard the arguments: no team could get away with a nickname that portrays any other race in such a derogatory way. It is reprehensible. At the very least, the team needs to lose the grotesque portrait on the side of the helmet. Tony Kornheiser, perhaps the funniest (and certainly the smartest) of ESPN's talking heads, has suggested that the team keep the name but redesign the helmet to feature a picture of a redskin potato. Now that's a team I can root for. (Get it?)

But their racism is only part of the reason that I can't imagine Antwaan Randle El playing for DC's squad. Word is out now that the Potatoes are after ARE. But seriously: if he isn't going to be a Steeler, he needs to be a Bear.
