Update to this story.
Via NRO:
After Slate announced yesterday that it will no longer refer to the Washington Redskins by their name because they consider it to be a slur against American Indians, two other left-leaning magazines have decided to join the movement. Both The New Republic and Mother Jones have said they will also refrain from calling the team the “Redskins” because they believe it’s offensive to American Indians.
Yesterday, TNR’s editor Franklin Foer praised Slate for its stance and tweeted that his magazine would changing its stylebook. Ian Gordon of Mother Jones agreed to do the same with his magazine. “From here on out, we will refer to the team online and in print as ‘Washington’ or ‘Washington’s pro football team’ or, if we get sassy, ‘the Washington [Redacted],’” Gordon wrote.
