You have to hand it to the Washington Redskins, who show no signs of yielding to the demands of the politically correct left.
On Thursday, in recognition of Thanksgiving, the besieged NFL team posted the following message on Twitter:
From our family to yours, have a very safe and Happy #Thanksgiving. #HappyThanksgiving #HTTR pic.twitter.com/TZ0fBzbEm2
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 27, 2014
Whether it was a dig at zealots who cling to the idea that the team nickname is a racial slur or an appropriate message considering Native Americans played a role in the original Thanksgiving, the left reacted as you would expect — with self righteous indignation.
But then, that’s what makes them so fun to be around! Here are a sampling of some of those responses, as seen on Twitter:
you can’t be serious “@Redskins: From our family to yours, have a very safe and #HappyThanksgiving pic.twitter.com/a1CISZ41tz” — Ferrari Sheppard (@stopbeingfamous) November 27, 2014

@EdgeofSports @Redskins As bad as the card I got from the Nazi Party wishing me a Happy Rosh Hashanah. — Split Season 1981 (@SplitSeason1981) November 28, 2014
@EdgeofSports @Redskins did that greeting come with complimentary smallpox?
