Name Reveal 2.2.22

Don't we have enough birds in the league anyway? Also I think they want to stay away from anything that could be possibly misconstrued as racist, now or in the future. So that means no to any colors in the name.

I'm really not a big fan of Commanders or Admirals, etc. But what is wrong with celebrating our military / military history?

Nothing, as long as the name is not used as an endless, pandering, patriotic dick-suck.

If Minny going to be pissey about Wolves(NBA), I am damn sure Atlanta(NFL) isn't going let us use Redhawks

Neither has a case.

They're all still available

I guess maybe it's my phone then. But when I go from one page to another for NFL avatars I see a lot of duplicates. I definitely don't see all 32 teams. That's weird. I don't seem to have that issue on anything else here.

Interesting take by Jay.

tab your photo on the main page, then when the icons come up there is a drop down window and you can select a team icon.

I was unaware that there was some kind of quota in the NFL for bird names. 5 of 32 does not strike me as excessive.

As to your second point, it took some very 'magical' thinking to state Redskins was a racist name. But sillier notions have prevailed, humans are imperfect and prone to hysteria, and this is where we are.

But to think that anyone could seriously state that Redhawk is racist is going way beyond magical thinking and deep into the realm of absolute stupidity.

And, as I have state over and over, there is precedent and those that preceded us have offered help:

Was it really "magical" though? I mean, an expansion team starting up today wouldn't touch the name Redskins. In order to future proof the name, I think avoiding colors in the name is the smart move.

Either way, that issue is over and done for me. Time to move forward.

I think Commanders makes the most sense. It can tie into the military as well as a nod to politics in DC. It's generic and not offensive even with the most magical of thinking.

Yeah, that's what I do. It says there are 76 icons. Quite a few are for the same teams.

For example, I don't see a Jets, Lions, Dolphins, Jaguars, Patriots, Saints, Steelers, Seahawks, or Raiders avatar.

I'm not saying they aren't there, they just don't appear when I look on my phone. I'll try looking from a computer later.

Im calling them Skins now and probably for a long long time.

IM sure over time, maybe 3 decades, Ill start to call them the Admirals but until then, it seems foreign to me.
