Pigskin Politics
Washington is abuzz over its beloved Redskins football team taking on the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL playoffs this weekend, but the game is creating headaches for some Seattle media. The Seattle Times has banned the name "Redskins" from headlines and captions ? to avoid offending Native Americans, which makes talking about the game a little tricky.
Reporters can use "Redskins" only on first reference after which they have to refer to the team only as "Washington." [/b]
