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.

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.


Sorry, I write long posts.

I fought for my country so I will say or wear whatever I want. That includes Redskins gear. Hell, I’ve always worn Redskins stuff in an Eagles-Redskins game in the Vet & Lincoln Stadium in Philly, AND had REDSKINS signs to boot. Nasty, drunk ass fans there wanted to fight me when I had my 8-year old son or daughter with me, holding my hand. I just laughed at them and walked away. Also had the Eagles fans cuss me out in front of the same.

Last year I stopped going to the Linc in Philly because it just wasn’t fun to be surrounded with all those drunken jerkoffs. Of course going to FEDEX isn’t much better with so many fans from the other team!

Hope it starts to change this season.

Don’t be afraid to say what you think or wear what you want. “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing”.

Of course, getting super pissed off and upset over a football game seems ridiculous to me. To my mind, there are a lot of bigger things to worry about. But I DO hate when we lose!

Man, that was a joke. The older I get, the less fucks I give about what anyone thinks. Especially when it's clear that all Native Americans are not in agreement about the name.

I don't care that the name is changing because at a certain point, the fight is not worth the effort. We're at that point.

One time I had someone ask me about wearing skins gear. A nice enough European guy running a coffee shop i frequented in the garden district of New orleans.

He asked something along the lines of "how do you feel about wearing that hat?"

me "it's kinda embarrassing because we continually suck and you guys are the saints but you know man, that's my team."

he tried to clarify he wasnt asking a sports question but I'm Just a smiling dummy and have some walk away non answer.

I can say I think I did take off my skins hat when I was in Nevada or somewhere walking into a reservation type shop along the side of a road.

Idk that's my only experience ...

Regardless even if an owner is in financial trouble there are plenty of billionaires that would be able to jump in. Hell it is more expensive to buy a house in southern California than it is to buy an NFL franchise. I bet SD has enough to buy the Skins in his cup holder in his car.

Only other move I could support is Snyder moving the team to Virginia. Completely recast the name ..get rid of the name Washington... FU Washington DC...Retire the name Washington Redskins and enter a new era as Virginia "XXXX" or what ever. I would not let these fucks dictate to me what I do with my team.

Get out of Washington altogether.

IDK man this is the perfect free market change if you ask me. Fans have been bailing and not attending. Now the pocketbook is being hit. If you run a business and customers and business investors cease to see value you rebrand plain and simple. We can boycott Nike, Fed Ex and Pepsi as Skins fans all we want but that is a drop in the bucket financially. Most people here invest in the team be it merchandise, game tickets but the costs outweigh any financial gains made by us the fans.

I’ve never once had someone in public criticize me for wearing Redskins gear. Outside of the hardcore football fan world nobody gives a shit.Same here. Only at a game once and it was from native tribes but that was about 4-5 years ago

Virginia lol. What happened when Virginia tried getting a baseball team? Virginia isn't getting a football team. To bad that won't happen. Baltimore/DC are the best spots for sports teams to be in the DMV, and it will remain that way.
