The Washington Redskins are supposed to have a press conference today to announce they are changing their name. :|
And what about that Mahomes signing of 10 years and $503 million. It will put his average annual salary over the course of his contract at around $45 million/year. :shock:
That contract's ridiculous. No one's worth that much.

Amid calls for justice, NFL teams are taking bold steps to change their team names and end racism. This has caused controversy since everyone is racist. Are you confused? Never fear! We at The Babylon Bee are here to educate you. We believe that all 32 teams were built by a system of whiteness that must be dismantled, one team name at a time.
We MUST do better. Here is why every NFL team name is very problematic:
Arizona Cardinals - Too religious.
Atlanta Falcons - Celebrates one of the cheapest Smash Bros. characters, who is a smug little punk only jerks choose.
Baltimore Ravens - Named after the Disney Channel show That's So Raven without the POC protagonist's permission.
Buffalo Bills - Bills are an evil byproduct of capitalism.
Carolina Panthers - The panther was appropriated wholesale from Wakandan culture.
Chicago Bears - Murderous bears should never be celebrated.
Cincinnati Bengals - It just sounds racist. We're looking into it.
Cleveland Browns - Brown what? Are you talking about skin color again? Sounds like white fragility.
Dallas Cowboys - A mutant half boy, half cow is tragic and shouldn’t be used as a mascot.
Denver Broncos - Horses have been subjugated and enslaved for millennia.
Detroit Lions - Lions are not vegans.
Green Bay Packers - Glorifies butcherous meat packers. Meat causes global warming. Gross.
Houston Texans - Celebrates the most racist state in the Union.
Indianapolis Colts - This name glorifies guns.
Jacksonville Jaguars - Jaguars are driven by evil rich billionaires as they run over poor people.
Kansas City Chiefs - We suggest switching to Kansas City Wise Indigenous Tribal Elders.
Las Vegas Raiders - Celebrates The Raiders of the Lost Ark, which featured prominent Nazi imagery.
Los Angeles Chargers - We don't think anyone who has faced down a line of charging riot police would find this name the least bit funny.
Los Angeles Rams - Dodge Rams contribute heavily to the climate crisis.
Miami Dolphins - Painful reminder that Sea World still exists.
Minnesota Vikings - Associated with patriarchy-dominated Norse mythology.
New England Patriots - REEEEEEEEEEEE
New Orleans Saints - Goes against the constitutional principle of separation of church and sports.
New York Giants - They prefer the term "persons of height."
New York Jets - The burning of jet fuel contributes to global warming.
Philadelphia Eagles - Eagles are a well-known Nazi symbol.
Pittsburgh Steelers - Steel contributes to global warming.
San Francisco 49ers- The gold miner mascot hearkens back to manifest destiny and the destruction of Mother Earth
Seattle Seahawks - Birds are unable to give consent to have their name used as mascots.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - This one's actually OK because they were probably just stealing bread to feed their families.
Tennessee Titans - Reinforces the harmful idea of power structures and male-dominated hierarchies.
Washington Redskins - Nothing wrong with this one as far as we can tell.
We hope this informative list is a wake-up call to the NFL. If we continue to work on ourselves, we can help the NFL become more inclusive! Within 20 years, we may get them to put down the ball and kick it around as the ancient Aztecs intended us to.

NFL fans who were able to attend the opening game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans to start the 2020 season on Thursday appeared to boo the teams’ moment of unity at midfield prior to the coin toss.
Both teams lined up in the middle of the field after the national anthem and locked arms briefly before shaking hands to get ready for the coin toss. Fans on social media noticed that the limited number of fans who were in attendance appeared to let their own voices be heard during the moment.
Those watching through the prism of social media were apparently bewildered by the reaction.
Chiefs players were on the field for the playing of the national anthem and the rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Texans players were not on the field for either song.
Most Chiefs players stood, locking arms on the sideline for the national anthem. At least one Chiefs player knelt and raised a fist. Players locked arm-and-arm across the goal line for the Black national anthem.
Texans players were not on the field for either “The Star-Spangled Banner” or the Black national anthem.
"Lift Every Voice and Sing" will be played before each game during the first week of the season as part of the NFL's efforts on social justice issues Chiefs players locked arm-in-arm in the end zone as the song played. The team went into the locker room after the rendition was over.

Hall of Fame NFL coach Mike Ditka tripled down on his stance against protests during the National Anthem, once again telling players to “go to another country” if don’t like the United States.
Speaking with Newsmax TV on Monday, the former Chicago Bears coach said that playing professional football is an incredible “privilege” that few enjoy.
“Football’s football. It’s not a complicated thing. You’re playing the game, you’re enjoying the game. You don’t like the game, get out of it,” Ditka said. “It’s not for protesting one way or the other. What color you are, what you think, this or that. You play football. That’s it. You’re privileged. You got a gift from God that you can play the game because you got a body you can do it with. I don’t really understand what you’re protesting. I played the game. I coached the game for a long time. It makes no sense to me.”
Ditka then advised those players protesting to leave the country if they do not like it here.
“I would tell those players go to another country and play football there,” he said. “You don’t have to come out. You don’t have to come out if you go to another country. You can’t! Because the game’s only played in this country. And if you can’t respect this country, get the hell out of it.”
Mike Ditka has been an outspoken opponent of the National Anthem protests going all the way back to 2016 when he said that former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick should “get the hell out” of the United States if he wants to disrespect the country. Over the summer, at the height of the Black Lives Matter protests, Ditka repeated this sentiment.
“If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country. That’s the way I feel. Of course, I’m old fashioned, so I’m only going to say what I feel,” said Ditka. “I think there’s a way you protest and a way you don’t protest. You don’t protest against the flag and you don’t protest against this country who’s given you the opportunity to make a living playing a sport that you never thought would happen. So, I don’t want to hear all the crap. You wanna try it, try it. You don’t, it’s okay.”
As The Daily Wire reported last week, ratings for the NFL season opener for Thursday Night Football were markedly lower than those of the previous year, though it’s not clear if anti-racism and anti-police brutality protests played into the decline in viewership.
“The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs’ 34-20 victory over the Houston Texans averaged about 19.3 million viewers on NBC, according to preliminary ratings,” reported The Hollywood Reporter. “That’s down about 13 percent from the 22.12 million who watched last year’s kickoff, but ahead of the 19 million who tuned in for the 2018 kickoff.”
Well, the season is only in its second week, but I think we've already seen the dumb-ass play of the year, with the entire Falcons team standing around watching the ball spin for 10 yards so the Cowboys could recover it.
The Titans have a Covid problem. The Tennessee Pittsburgh game is now postponed.
