An excerpt:

And so, in an admittedly small gesture, Mother Jones is also tweaking our house style guide, joining Slate and a group of other publications, from The New Republic to Washington City Paper. From here on out, we will refer to the team online and in print as “Washington” or “Washington’s pro football team” or, if we get sassy, “the Washington [Redacted].”

    I have a better idea why not call it like it is. The Washington Racists. Anything less is just ridiculous. Its still enabling that team to insult the First Nations Peoples. Then again I suppose its to be expected because hey we don’t really ever matter as a race see Obama’s sequesture for that.
