It's hard to believe that the era of Redskins football is over. I'm an older fan so obviously the Super Bowl wins and all of the Redskin's greats who made up those legendary teams.

Recent memories, or not so recent, Santa Moss scoring on the two long bombs from Brunell to beat the Cowboys.

RGIII's rookie season, if only he had not been injured.

Like the rest of you, and it is sad that this is the end, "Hail to the Redskins!"

Going forward since the Washington Football Club is no longer the Redskins, I no longer have the emotional investment, and for a multitude of reasons, chief of which being the culprit for ending this franchise will NOT support Dan Snyder under any circumstances. It's also clear that the driver in the name change as with all things Snyder, was money and FedEx backing out.

We would need rounder balls and yellow cards instead of flags. Nah.

I hope they announce the name change this week.. Tired of this waiting game

Love that uniform except the Chinese knockoff-looking NOB font and numbers...

Hate the name. That's a great uniform for Braves or Redhawks.

I came home from the hospital in a Redskins onesie. My grandmother was a tiny woman of dignified composure, unless it was skins time. She would pace, often too worked up to watch the games, and peek around the corners unless they were winning. She was very proud of her native heritage and always thought the team paid homage to that respectfully.

My grandparents were my weekend sanctuary; they offered me reprieve from an abusive stepfather. I thought the skins played on friday as a kid, because my aunt and uncle in NOVA would tape the games and mail them to my grandparents who would pick me up on the weekends and we'd go home with pizza hut and pepsi and watch together. Not many people had VCR's in the early 80's in southeast Texas... so I grew up a skins fan in the heart of cowboy's country. I could spot my tribe in a crowd very easily in Texas.

I've watched them my entire life, and to me they represented a bond with the people who gave me love and trust in a world that provided very little of either of those things outside of their home. As an adult, few things bring me nostalgic comfort like the smell of coffee in a vehicle on a cold morning, rewatching the office for the umpteenth time, and Redskins games on Sundays.

On June 8th this year my grandfather passed away. This was not expected, he fell and hit his head and the brain bleeding couldn't be controlled. My grandmother wasn't allowed to be by his side for a week while he suffered in and out of consciousness in confusion and pain. She face timed him and the only coherent thing he could say was "help me". She was finally allowed to see him when they transferred him to hospice and he was too medicated to be present for the final day of his life, which he did spend surrounded by family. I can't imagine his last week on earth. It isn't the dignified end he deserved. A month after my grandmother lost her husband, she lost her other nostalgic comfort.

I can tell you this has solidified me in the anti-PC camp for the remainder of my days. I no longer care about offending others' sensibilities and sensitivities.
