Call on KIRO to stop using team’s name

I was watching the post game show of Sunday’s Seahawks game. While it was a great game, I was shocked to hear Steve Raible use the Washington D.C. team nickname, as well as to see it being used in a graphic referring to the Seahawks next game.

I take offense and I will not be listening to KIRO’s radio broadcast and TV post game show. I ask the Seahawks and Dwayne Lane and other sponsors to require them to stop using the nickname.
