Washington Football Team

Completely neutral and not offensive. Except in seasons like the last one when one could argue if they´re really playing football.

Just call them Washington. Or do you have to have an actual name after that? I have to say I honestly wouldn't be upset with Braves. Could still keep the Native American imagery too, not to mention it was the original name.

As soon as the Redskins change their name, Oneida will turn their attention to the Chiefs, Braves, Indians, Blackhawks, etc. We're just the first shoe to drop.

The NCAI has a 30 plus page paper on their website calling for the end of ALL Native American team names and mascots. It's become trendy to hate on the Redskins, so momentum is on their side.

Definitely. I was laughing hard at a Chiefs fan who was upset they were going after their name. I believe Pro Football Talk made a post a few weeks ago about it. Didn't mind the Redskins being attacked, but went on a piss and moan fest when it hit home.

The comments section at the end of that article was hilarious. Almost everyone thought it was a major overreach. I think they learned their lesson and will stick to the Redskins for now. Going after the Braves, Chiefs, etc. right now would cause a major backlash.

Danny might want to make this a broader issue and call for the other Teams with NI names to take the plunge with him and refuse to do so until they do. Public sentiment would quickly shift back.

Using Native Americans/Native American imagery in general is where the issue is.
