Skins getting heat again over name issue

I’m really surprised that ppl are saying the NFL is “just about done”. Ready to go out of business. Seriously??

1. MLB lost a season and it’s still here. Baseball is boring as shitte and people still go to games or watch it in tv.

2. All the NFL teams are owned by BILLIONAIRES. They can lose a few bucks because the COVID 19 Pandemic has cut the preseason by 2 games.

3. Lets just take one of the worst owners in the NFL. Our own Dan Snyder. He bought the team for $800 mill and the team is now worth over $3 bill. That’s after 20 years of pure mediocrity and piss poor football- most of it caused by Snyder himself. Our 20 year history under Snyder has seen our team go from a SB contender to 28th in the NFL (underneath us - Browns and Bengals). Our stadium is horrible and run down. All the food and beverages at FEDEX are way overpriced and service is really bad. There are as many fans from TGE OTHER TEAM - as from actual Redskins fans.

I personally think that the team is going to FINALLY turn it around. But the teams value has increased even with all of Snyder’s gross buffoonery. WHY? Because the NFL is the most popular sport in this country. Games are on 4-5 days a week. Teams play in England and people THERE go to see the games. The NFL has games on ENGLISH TV (admittedly at 1:00 or 2:00 am). This is a country where the people understand and like cricket [emoji967].

The reason the NFL makes so much money is TELEVISION. That is why even a numbnut like Snyder has seen his team increase in value. Because the NFL is a huge cash cow. The SB sells a 30 second spot of advertising for over a million$$. Hell, the NFL even makes money on the COMBINE and the DRAFT. Over 25 years ago ppl didn’t even know what the Combine was! The NFL has ppl watching the draft - with most of the players that are drafted are out of the NFL five years later.

The Redskins will NOT lose fans because the name or uniform changes. The fan base will INCREASE. Why? It will show that even a bad owner like Snyder can change. After 20 years he finally gave control to the HC, without a GM like Cerrato or Allen to secretly do his bidding. Rivera said yesterday that he wanted to change the team’s name. He’s been talking it over with Snyder for the last couple weeks. Rivera wants the team name to HONOR THE MILITARY. What’s wrong with that? Snyder wants to honor the Native Americans. What’s wrong with that?

Changing the name gets money flowing to the team so they can pay BIG BUCKS to the coaches, GM, scouts, executives, etc who wouldn’t come work for this crappy team otherwise. That is until this team starts to win.

Changing the name gets the team back to DC, with a new, modern Stadium. Maybe it gets the team a new practice facility.

Change just for changes sake is bad. But it’s time for this team to change for the better. Picking a new name that honors the military is a great idea. That new name may get the military servicemen and women and veterans who are a big part of the DC population to come for OUR team, not the opponent. Picking a name that honors a tribe or the Native Americans is going to show Snyder can change and improve as an owner.

Changing the name gets ppl excited about this team again. New name, new HC, new GM (hopefully), new DC, new OC, Chase Young! This team will turn around. In 5-7 years we may have a new stadium (if Snyder abandons the FEDEX contract early - not likely but here’s hoping).

The old name is going. I hope that Snyder gets the new name right. But he’s got Rivera and probably Alex Smith to help him improve.

Oh yeah, and the NFL will be around long after we are gone. Lol.

Suffice it to say, I think the name change controversy is one that has been manufactured and amplified by small, but voraciously vocal group. But where we are is where we are.

Still, this notion that changing it will Give Danny a new lease and the team will flourish is wishful thinking exemplified. Danny's ownership would the same if he owned the Giants, Saints, or any other franchise.

The problem has not been the name or the crappy stadium. It's been Snyder's much documented impatience, arrogance, and micro-managing. Changing the label and moving it to a new environment is not going to change that.

I am encouraged by Ron Rivera and hints that Snyder has changed. But we have seen that before. It is tempting to think that this might be time to cease being a fan of Washington. And perhaps the NFL.

Lol...things change buddy. And when they come for you...say ole Chico called it!

I can see Florio now writing his bullshit headlines “white supremacist in racist attire still attending Washington Warriors games” or “should Warrior ban racist attire at their games?”


People can’t see this, seriously?

No I don’t see that happening. I know conservatives love to come up with these ridiculous slippery slope arguments like gay marriage will lead to people marrying animals, but I think once the name changes it’s mission accomplished.

I've said this before, No I don't think the name is Offensive but in today's Political climate it's a hot topic . I personally would like to see Dan Stand by his word and not change it but as far as money goes he could make some big money on the sales of a new logo and moniker plus it would open up the chance that all Redskin fans have wanted and that is to build a New stadium on the RFK site and bring the team back to DC. So I think it will happen and I will take a guess that it will be the "Red Tales or the Senators" .IMO.

LOL,"chico called it"..............., if chico said the sun was up I would have to look out the window to double check!

Oh come on man..Have you read any headlines in the last couple months? Have you seen Presidents monuments attacked? The Betty Ross flag is racist? Mount Rushmore attacks? It’s ridiculous bullshit...anybody with common sense knows what’s going on

Everyone will move on to the next target

Everyone will move on to the next target

Lol...the next target...the next lie...the next false narrative...the next fake news headline, the next communist fantasy, the next book burning, the monument tear down circle jerk...whatever you want to call it.

Also a very good point. Our own fanbase will criticize each other for being racist for supporting the team that we all used to love and support.

I have a camouflage redskins hat that i have worn for years, now i am legit afraid of wearing it. Same thing with all of my T-Shirts, jerseys, etc..

I'm also legit afraid of wearing my Skins gear

You wrote this long ass story without even realizing, it's not "people" that are saying the NFL is just about done. It's "person" as in one guy.
