Busted: Md. Gov. O'Malley didn't always have a problem with the Redskins [photo]

Maryland’s governor is all about focusing on what really matters:

I was asked earlier today and answered that I do believe it is probably time for the Washington Redskins to change their team name.

We hope that in every generation we become more understanding of one another & more respectful of the dignity of every individual & culture.

We wouldn’t bet on it. Nor should we expect any apologies for these egregious offenses:

.@GovernorOMalley The name "Maryland" has too many connections to Catholicism. I'm a Protestant. Change it.

.@JoeMarier I was raised as a Lutheran. I am deeply offended and if one person is offended, @GovernorOMalley must change the state's name.

.@GovernorOMalley As a graphic designer, your state's flag offends me. Change that too.

@exjon @GovernorOMalley I am offended that Maryland is named after Mary, a woman. I will not tolerate this discrimination. Change the name.

@exjon Did you know "Governor" stems from a Latin word? Time for something more inclusive and less Euro-centric. @GovernorOMalley

Exit question:

Dear @GovernorOMalley, there isn't much about you that isn't offensive. When will you change your corrupt ways? https://t.co/N5JbkscOe5
