The Washington Redskins are likely to cave before the cancel culture and change the team name. I've never been a Foreskins fan, never will be.
One of the choices being floated is redtails. Most people know that the redtails were the Tuskegee Airmen, black pilots who served in WW2 and valiantly protected their charges, the bombers at high cost. One of their claims to fame is in never losing a bomber to enemy fighters.. they did lose a great many of their pilots. heroism. They lived it, they breathed it.
While it would be great to honor them, I oppose doing so with an NFL team. The Tuskegee Airmen never turned tail and ran like the owners in the NFL have done ever since Colonoscopy began showcasing his hate for America. Had the team stood strong and fired any player who refused to stand and honor the flag for which so many of those brave men died, I would support changing the name. To associate them with cowardly ant-American riffraff would be an insult.
