CREDO Petitions Amazon's Jeff Bezos to Have WaPo Stop Using 'Redskins'



It's an incremental game, football. So too with progressive politics. Often, it's painfully incremental, but the key to victory with both is to stake your ground and keep marching down the field for even more.

When team owner Dan Snyder flat out refuses to consider a name change as a matter of some white privilege principle of being the one to decide when a slur is offensive, it's time to get tactical and do an end run around Snyder.

So CREDO has opted to petition new Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos to institute a editorial policy for his paper to discontinue the use of the word "Redskin" in reference to the team:
