    Balderdash, I still say they should have named the team Washington Red Rats.

    Is it supposed to be a take-off on "The Hogs" of O-line yesteryear fame?

    When the team was called the Red Skins, they had a workhorse runner and offensive line who called themselves the hogs or something like that.

    That last photo “cultural appropriation” unless the model is Native American.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    Bill, I gave it much thought and consideration before I posted that photo. I thought that if the model is not Native American then yes it would have been as you say, cultural appropriation. But then I thought if the model is Native American then it would also be cultural appropriation unless bikinis are traditional Native American clothing. I came to the conclusion that the bikini is not traditional Native American attire. So, I took the gamble. I think I'm covered. It's a wash.

    Now this photo is definitely a case of cultural appropriation...
