Daniel Snyder, owner of the NFL team Redskins, has announced that he is
dropping the word "Washington " from the team name. Henceforth he will have
the NFL team name be simply known as "The Redskins".

It was reported that Snyder finds the word 'Washington' imparts a negative
image of corruption, cheating, indecision, betrayal, unfaithfulness,
adultery, fornication, lying, hypocrisy, and perversion. Therefore, the word
Washington, as used is in today's vocabulary, is not a fitting role model
for the minds of any young football fans.
