when dartmouth changed the name, dan schneider was only 10 years old. a 10-year-old, understandably completely ignorant of the painful evolution of racial labelling in this country. now he remains just as ignorant and so he has said we will never change the name of the team. we will never change the name. it's that simple. never. you can use caps. dan snyder is now the george wallace of the nfl. >> when i say segregation now, seg grags tomorrow and segregation forever. >> that was george wallace the year before dan snyder was born. just a couple of months after saying segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever. alabama governor george wallace stood in the doorway of the university of alabama trying to prevent the students to register at the university of alabama. and in that moex, the force of history overwhelmed george wallace. pushed him aside and the university of alabama was integrated. the same thing will happen to dan snyder. the force of history will rush him and the name of his football team will be changed. and here is how eas

if native americans were 14% of the population, there's no way there would be a team name called the ss displacement and geno side to have a team name -- >> some of the people were brought down by the law, federal law, that protected people from discrimination and continues to thankfully do so. with this, is there a law that would make dan snyder fall in line as we saw some below the mason dixon line, but to law. >> there is a federal trademark lawsuit going through the courts that would at the very least compel dan snyder to have to change the name because there would be so many areas of commercial life where he would not be able to publicize the name or sell his product. there's this fact too speaking of money. d.c. city council has said that the washington team will never be let back inside the district. currently the team is in suburban maryland unless the name is changed. 23% of d.c. residents said they would like the team more if the name changed. so maybe dollars and cents would be what pushes dan snyder over the edge. >> very interesting. we will see what comes out of this mee

you look at some of the names. you know, what is it, netflix up 250. micron up 159, facebook up 95, at what point do you get out of the stocks? have the guys called a top in momentum? >> i don't necessarily they've called the top, but i think certainly when you look at what carl's reaction was, his reaction, everybody has a goal when they buy into a stock where they want to take the trade off. and i think carl was leaving a lot of this up to his son. his son was the catalyst, as john mentioned, got him in. moved along with this. obviously, he felt the shorts were getting squeezed out of this. the story behind netflix makes a lot of sense, and there's a moat around that company. the others, on the other hand, that have the great momentum and the shorts are squeezed to the upside, i think a lot of people have to be very, very smart about the timing to get out of some of the names, because they don't want to be the last one standing. the drops can be severe. we saw how fast netflix flipped yesterday. look at the other names. names like tesla, where they ha

this is his first time he's addressed the name. today's letter took a different tone saying i respect the opinions of those who disagree. i want them to know that i do hear them and i will continue to listen and learn but we cannot ignore our 81 year history or the strong feelings of our fans as well as native americans throughout the country. we are redskins nation and we owe it to fans and coaches and players past and present to preserve that heritage. in the letter snyder cites two different polls. both making the point one most people believe the name should not be changed and two most most native americans are not fend id by the name however a meeting between n.f.l. officials and the oneida nation is scheduled in new york. mike shanahan had this say -- to say regarding his boss' letter. >> i'm not sure how many players saw the letter but personally i was glad he expressed exactly how he feels from an ownership standpoint. i think i addressed that many times in the offseason. as soon as the football season started i concentrate

we do not use the name washington redskins in a racial way. people need to get over it and stop being so hurt all the time. and similar sentiments we got from the vest majority of those who commented. political correctness does not count when using a term that is number one, long standing and heavily invested in by a private enterprise and number two, not utilized in a derogatory manner, but as a symbol of strength of a warrior. okay, folks, lifelong skin fans here and i will say it again, change is hard, traditions are important, but this is one that needs to go. not political correctness, but common decent si demands it. i think it's time. dan, you have some american indian, what do you think? >> i'm not easily offended, but so many people are offended at everything, and that's part of the problem. what are they going to do with the braves, the indian, think of the other teams where they could follow suit in light of this, if there is a name change. we should definitely hear what the viewer haves to say. i know there were many polls done, 75%
