21st Century and we still have racist sport team names.

At least we are catching stuff from 30 and 40 years ago. I'm all for looking back and calling folks to account, but we have more important problems that are glossed over today. We can do both.

While a certain Washington D. C. NFL team plays in Maryland, it's headquarters and training facility are located in Virginia.

Perhaps the trauma that Virginians are going through right now will have the same effect that the family members of the victims of Dylan Roof (Charlestown church shooting perp) had on South Carolina, when in the midst of their pain, all said to Roof, "I forgive you," as part of their remarks at his arraignment. The Confederate flag at the State House in Columbia came down soon thereafter.
