Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change

If they ever really HAD to change the name we could just be the Skins. DC Skins.

We stopped one, because a) it was already several pages long b) it was taking a stupid/dangerous turn c) there was no new news.

Dan Snyder's letter is new news so it should have been started as a new thread, in my opinion, instead of bumping this one. But it's fine here. Better than in the Dallas Week thread.

But I don't know what you mean about shutting down and starting various name change threads.

I could have started a new thread i suppose. I felt like the letter sort of gave closure because it really put to rest any feelings i had of it being politically incorrect or hurtful. Starting a new thread seemed counter productive to putting it to bed i guess.

What about changing the name to the Dragons? A dragon would be a badass mascot. Also, the branding and merch could include some really cool logos. Also we could keep the b&g color scheme.

In folklore from around the world, dragons bring prosperity to places where they are reverenced. They also are ferocious when crossed. If we MUST change, it sounds like a great mascot to me.

Burgundy & Gold can stay no matter what. Why would the colors ever have to change?

Plus Khaleesi from game of thrones likes dragons and she is smoking hot.

excuse me sir...but with all due respect internet stranger,you are a grown man. Why would you want a kiddies fictional mascot. Look, I wouldn't mind if they changed the name as long as it was still indian oriented and they kept the logo.

the problem I think of is they would make them get rid of any indian theme all together which I find offensive in itself.

I don't want Washington Redskins stuff to become collectors items I cant get a hold of because I don't have enough money because someone equates it with gay bashing or racism or whatever

Dragons are not "kiddie" things. They were the sacred emblem of the Chinese emperor and so are emblazoned on government buildings, temples, etc., all over China. They also have a long history of marking important adult things in Japan, Vietnam, etc. Turning to Europe, Beowulf is hardly children's literature. Dragons were used on medieval maps such as the Lenox Globe. You need to learn about dragons.

Besides, many kids are NFL fans, so having a kid-friendly mascot is not a bad idea.

By the way, I LOVED Snyder's letter to the fans and felt that he finally struck the right sentiment.


Have you guys read Sally Jenkins response to Dan's letter in the Washington Post? I can't stand her.
Washington Redskins team name: Another letter, the same spirit - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/washington-redskins-team-name-another-letter-the-same-spirit/2013/10/10/15b731ca-31c6-11e3-89ae-16e186e117d8_story.html)

It's like you can't agree to disagree anymore in this country. Some politically correct person has to have the last word.

Never change the name Mr. Snyder, if for no other reason than to continue to piss these kinds of people off!
