Smithsonian Museum - yet another thread on team name

Some people just don't pick up on sarcasm whatsoever

It's because people always forget to switch fonts. sarcasm font is very easily detectible.

I also agree that when name was changed to Redskins back in the day it wasnt meant as a slur but times change and now it is viewed as a slur so for better or worse its going to change. My wallet is hoping it happens in the next 5 years.

When the name changes I dont expect it to be anything close to the word Redskins or have anything to do with Native Americans. It wont have Skin in it and I dont see it being Warrior or Braves either. That said I do think the name Pigskins is clever.

I think that is absolutely the WORST idea that could ever happen. There is absolutely nothing WRONG with honoring Native Americans by having a football mascot that is an Indian. If the name, Redskins, is so wrong, then the team should ONLY change the name to another, "less offensive" Indian name to keep with tradition. You're talking about completely breaking off of the tradition of the football team. I would hope that Snyder has enough intestinal fortitude to put his foot down and say hey, I'm willing to compromise, but I am not completely trashing the team's identity.

I would be just fine with Warriors, Braves, or Seminoles; Keep the colors intact, keep the logo intact or switch back to the spear and feather with a bit of an updated look, and I could live with that. But I cannot live with The Washington Federals (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7086/7219642688_18126134d1.jpg), The Wizards (Stupid, stupid name,) The Dragons (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7213/7213546930_8ecc48e2c3.jpg), or the Stemps.

The team needs to keep its identity at least.

Saw the link on ESPN, was going to post it before I saw someone else posted it but are cowboys offended by Dallas? This is a question I have always pondered.

They sure are offended by their choking.

Snyder already owns the rights to the name 'Washington Warriors'. I'm guessing that's the direction they would go if they did change the name.

No. Washington Pigskins. It's a lock. You heard it here first.

I could deal with the "Warriors".

What about the Washington Trojans?

Eh maybe that would be offensive from another perspective

Washington Sniksder (Redskins spelled backwards) and almost sounding like Snyder.

LOL! We root for the fighting condoms!
