I hate emptying the dishwasher. While I know better than to gripe out loud when my wife asks me to do to do it, my heavy sighs and facial expressions convey that it’s the last thing on earth I would prefer to be doing.
Dan Snyder, owner of the NFL's Washington, D.C., franchise, knows the feeling. That was clear from the statement issued Monday morning by the team announcing that it was “retiring” its nickname and logo upon completion of a “thorough review” of that nickname.
The announcement made it sound as if the nickname was taking a buyout and being thanked for its years of service.
