Skins getting heat again over name issue

What was your old name?

Can I plead the 5th?

Were it an issue of the Free Market, then sponsors would let the market decide. If the issue hurt the Skins' bottom line- a highly unlikely scenario- then the sponsors would mobilize. But they are not waiting for that. They are doing what scores of other people and organizations are doing- capitulating to the woke mobs.

Snyder is most certainly being forced to change the name.

They did let the market decide and their investors worth $620 billion told them to part ways with the Redskins if they don't change their name.

Brand image is just as part of free market as $. Right now the brand imagery of the Redskins on the NFL is not positive. You can thank DS and his lack of business acumen for that. The Native American mascot imagery is not favorable for myriad of reasons. Some of that can also be blamed on DS handling of the situation.

The way I see it if you're in a group of people telling others what shouldn't bother them, you're just as bad as those telling others what should bother them.

It's not a stretch to think a word that's defined in the dictionary as being racist, is offensive to some people. Would we even consider naming a team today Redskins? Of course not.

To be fair the Definition of Redskin has been changed over the years to add that language and they use the term offensive not racist.

Investors who are inexplicably capitulating to the mob. Never a let a good crisis go to waste. That is not the Free Market. That is appeasement. The Redskins are but one example.

The Market is you and I plus the rest of the NFL fandom. And evidence has already indicated that the vast majority of the population could possibly care less.

The Redskins brand is very positive. They are one of the oldest teams in the league and have produced some great players. Their helmet logo was designed by a Native American.

Snyder certainly could have handled it better, no doubt. But he was not even born when the team was named the Redskins.

If you do you'll just be banned anyway :D

I have been a Redskins fan longer than most of you have been alive. I met Turk Edwards, saw Sammy Baugh, Joe Theisman, John Riggins, Sam Huff, the Fun Bunch, the Hogs and many, many more play (not on tv either). I even remember the Frank Budd disaster. It doesn't matter what the team name is, they will always be the Redskins to me. It is Washington football, support them. I will remain a fan regardless of the name. However, if they name the team the Washington Pansies, Pink Ladies or something similar, there is a imit.

This.



LOL. The woke mobs is the racist way of saying the non whites are misbehaving. God forbid people WAKE UP to the social inequalities in the country. And after years upon years of white hate crimes and white hate groups the “woke” people get branded the violent ones for wanting to be heard. Like I said you are all either racist or fuckin stupid.

Than maybe me calling you a moron will be ok in a hundred years....
