Redskins Name Controversy: Rep. Donna Edwards Wants Nickname Outlawed

Maryland representative Donna Edwards, whose district includes FedEx Field, has co-sponsored a bill with Rep. Eni Faleomavaega to outlaw the Washington Redskins name and strip the team's trademark protection.

"I think it's well time," Edwards says. "I certainly understand where the Native American community is coming from."

News of her bill comes a day after NBC Sports commentator Bob Costas spoke out against the Redskins' name.

    I heard that the Washington Redskins were going to go ahead and remove the most offensive part of their name....."Washington".

    why don't you shut your pie hole and concentrate on getting the State of Maryland off the list of the 10 most taxed states rather than sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.

    Donna Edwards doesn't sound like an Indian name to me. Maybe she should just butt out. Native Americans are having no problem with the name. I guess every race needs its Al Sharpton/ Jesse Jackass flag waver, though.

    If it was the Washington Rednecks, best believe the name would've already been changed!

    I think the name Edwards (Education Wards) is offensive. It sounds like she came from some nut house. Maybe she did?

    Since when does anyone take Costas as an expert?, He's a Howard Cosell wannabe...
