Time for a change. And those saying they will not support the team do to a name change are telling a lie. When they start winning consistently you will be right back on the bandwagon.

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.

Maryland and DC are bastions of bullshit. Loudon County/Dulles AP area has all the high speed infrastructure to support the team without all the crime that comes from the RFK/ SE Washington area.

High speed infrastructure? Metro doesn't go out there and the Toll Road is grid-locked most of the day. Getting out to Loudoun Co might be worse than getting to FedEx.

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.

That’s what’s wrong with the younger generation they just don’t fucking care and uneducated they don’t learn history anymore fuck they don’t even know how to write in cursive that’s just what the liberals and the far left wants a bunch of zombies.dumb fuck

But Virginia doesn't have any of the four major sports do they? Feel dumb now? Virginia lost the nationals to DC and Virginia couldn't get it done. DC is in the top ten for media markets I believe.

I have followed this issue for years and its really a non issue with most Indians. Its more media driven today then anything else. Remember the big protest they planed several years back in Green Bay and about 6 people showed up. I watched a forum that was held at some place in DC and out of all the speakers only one person was an Indian. Redskin refers to Indians that would put red clay on their faces before they would go into battle. An Indian Chief designed the logo. Most Indians say they are proud or not offended by the name. Its a non issue made into an issue by the media. I hope Dan stands his ground but I'm sure the NFL will get involved if the name is not changed.

"Sheehan just said he heard that Dan's favorite name right now is Warriors but that name has to be vetted so its not locked."

It's between Red Tails, and Warriors.

Montgomery County and PG County comprise 2 million people. Moving the team to VA and driving there for games vs easy access to Baltimore 23 miles up the road? There are finances the team would have to take into consideration. Would they gain more fans moving into VA than they would lose?

I honestly think they would. NoVa is just a beast of an area with growth and population boom. Good economics with the fed govt and tech companies.

On the MD side .. lets be real. Ravens are just growing more and more popular. At this point, I think the Skins make more money from VA residents than MD. And its only growing. In 20 years the skins will be so dependent on VA.

It makes sense as well. MD has the Ravens. No secret they add the MD flag into their logo to try and lure MD skins fans. Like when Angelos took Baltimore off the front of their jerseys and put Orioles to be more inviting to DC area fans.

The future of the Skins (or whatever they will be called) is in NoVa. At some point, perhaps 15-30 years from now when DS sells the team, I could see them dropping the "Washington" as well and adopting a Virginia name if not Virginia itself.

First "redskins" is changed.
Second, stadium is moved to VA.
Third, team drops Washington and replaces it with Virginia. Give it 30-40 years imo.
