Wow, they’re almost as good at P.R. as they are at football (How about the Jets? Nobody’s using it)

July 2020

“That’s right, Washington’s N.F.L. team will officially retire the name and logo, but did not announce a replacement. Well, if I may, how about the Jets? Nobody’s using it.” — Seth Meyers

“Yes, after decades of resisting, the Washington Redskins have finally decided to change their name. And, look, this is a step in the right direction, but it almost feels like dismantling structural racism is so difficult that instead America is just crossing off the easier items on its racism to-do list: ‘OK, next item, we’ve got to create an equal and just society. Hm, all right, let’s skip that one. Um, what about changing the name of a football team and canceling Aunt Jemima? Yeah? That should hold us over for a year.’” — Trevor Noah

“Never a great sign when your social wokeness is a month behind a pancake company.” — Stephen Colbert

“Today, the team released a statement saying that they’re working to ‘develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition-rich franchise,’ a commitment to progress that would’ve hit a little harder had the statement not used the team’s name seven times and included their logo. Wow, they’re almost as good at P.R. as they are at football.” — Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
