Sorry, Slate. Either President Obama didn’t bother to read your piece explaining why the name “Redskins” should be retired for good, or he just wasn’t compelled to follow Slate’s lead and refer to Washington’s NFL team as the Washington _____. No, the president went ahead and said the R-word right in front of the TV cameras today when he met with members of the ’72 Dolphins at the White House.

An analysis of the footage seems to indicate that no one was shocked or offended. To be safe, though, it might be time to revisit those alternative nicknames.
