Extension summary

The word “Redskins” is racist. Yet our nation’s capital plays host to an NFL organization that uses the term as its team name — the Washington Redskins. It’s offensive. It’s unnecessary. And it needs to be replaced.

That’s where the Redskins Web Skin comes in. Simply install the extension to replace the term “Redskins” with a more dignified term on the web. And then sign the petition to make Dan Snyder replace the term with something more noble on the field.

Works great, you just have to remember to click on the icon in the Chrome Toolbar and click the "Replace with other less racist names" button for it to apply. Thanks to the new Supreme Court ruling that barring disparaging trademarks violates the First Amendment, I need this extension more than ever.

DOESN'T WORK. it's buggy and completely hijacks the screen before I can even use chrome. I have to close and it's a pain trying to delete or uninstall
