Perfect.
There was much contorting at the Slate offices today as staffers patted themselves on the back for deciding the publication would no longer refer to the Washington Redskins by the team’s name. Oh, and neither should you.
We're not going to call Washington's NFL team the Redskins anymore & we don't think anyone else should either: http://t.co/KgFmxsKmF1

Now free of WaPo oversight, editor David Plotz announced, “This is the last Slate article that will refer to the Washington NFL team as the Redskins.”
Not everyone is bowing down to these self-appointed PC overlords.

I stand with the Washington @Redskins name. Get over yourselves, PC curmudgeons. http://t.co/Np4NG5vM7b

I shall no longer refer to http://t.co/kifdJsH4BI as Slate. From now on they are shale. Hail REDSKINS

@Slate no one cares what Slate has to say about the Redskins anyway.

We’ll leave you with this question:
Will anyone notice when @Slate stops referring to Washington’s @NFL team as the #Redskins?
