Comedian Hari Kondabolu is a very funny man, and a creative thinker who focuses his talents on our national problem of what’s in a name, as it applies to a Washington DC football team. Hari finds a way we can – ‘just all get along!’ Are you a fan of the Washington Redskins who just doesn’t ‘get’ why people are offended by the team name, and are tired of being called a racist by ‘those people?’
Maybe you’re one of ‘those people’ who are offended by the ‘Redskins’- the name and the image on the logo, both? It seems as though there is no way to solve this snarly problem without someone losing out…But I have good news for you! What if I said you could keep the name ‘Redskins’ and modify the logo, and everyone, including Native Americans would be happy? It sounds too good to be true – and maybe it is – but Hari shows how a little creative thinking goes a long way.
Maybe there are other changes you’d like better. Hari tries several good ones out, and challenges you to come up with your own logo solution, just tweet yours; #NewRedskinsLogo We’ll find a comprimise that makes everybody happy…Or not. But maybe someone will see how racist the old logo truly is, and why.
