At this point I just don’t care and In this current climate it be some good press for a team that is always on the bad side of the press.

I am sure merchandise sales are not at a all time high.

Another domino falls (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29401445/stadium-sponsor-fedex-asks-redskins-change-nickname).

I dislike Washington Warriors though. It sounds dumb. Guessing something along the same lines as Capitals/Nationals would happen, the question is what though.

I honestly don't care if the team changes names, there are bigger issues going on in the world/in my life to care about this. I just hope that the people who are very adamant about changing the name are as adamant about supporting Native American communities, which are suffering in this pandemic.

Couldn’t agree more

ESPN also hops on.

I agree tho. Change the name, warriors works and keep the logohttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200702/bed5d9238d46627e6b937ba8ee545b86.jpg

ESPN is at the top of the pandering list. Unwatchable.

As I said before, I don't care about the name change. They'll still be my team regardless of what the team name will be.

Just my opinion, but if I were Dan Snyder and I did change the name it wouldn't be anything that has to do with Indians at all. The Native Americans that don't see it as racist need to speak up about how they feel. Taking down statues that have been up for years. Where is this going to end. It's not. The majority of people don't see it as a racist name, but the people who do speak out and the one's who don't feel it is racist, don't. Just my opinion.

No, because it's not 100 years ago and I, along with literally everybody else, is not prejudiced against Native Americans.

Go find me any group of people anywhere who are still actively encouraging slaughter against Native Americans and maybe I'll reconsider.


There are plenty of slurs that people don’t use anymore - eg, the ones for Italian and Irish immigrants from the early 20th century. That no one uses them these days doesn’t make them less a slur. I know I’d be pretty offended if one were directed my way. I don’t even see how this is a debate anymore.

Change the name. Enough with this issue. If there are Native Americans that are offended by it - and who am I to say otherwise - then just do it. (See what I did there?). It isn’t worth it and won’t affect my affection for the team which is keyed more to the fact that I am from the DC area.
