Lets change it to Washington Redskin Potatoes. That way, we can keep the fight song!

I love it. :)

As another poster mentioned, I think "skins" would work just fine.

Most of the names suggested would have the same problem> Warriors and Braves are indian terms and would offend the small % that complains. I saw a show where this lady tried to set up a ralley on a Sunday to protest the Skins name. She put alot of hard work into it and she was the only person who showed up.

I have spoken to Native Americans that are Redskins FANS, so I believe its a small bunch of sad "PC brigade" people who don't get laid enough or have a decent hobby!

Dallas Cowboys - surely in PC-land it should be the "Dallas Cowpeople" or "Dallas Cowpersons", as its anti-women, grown men, etc - heck you can nitpick anything if you try hard enough!

For me no matter what it'll be REDSKINS!

What about all of the animal names? Football is a violent sport, and do we really want to promote violence against animals?

On a recent trip through native american lands in the southwest, I counted nfl logos worn by native americans. Here's the tally:

Redskins 5
Cowboys 1
Other 0

'Nuff said.

Personally it be like the Giants changing their name to the NY Black Bottoms. It is a borderline slur I always thought they got away with it b/c all the Indians were killed off or are too busy in the casino's. Ive never even met an N.American before. I couldnt imagine if we changed who we were but if we ever do please add some new uniforms.
