would people consider it icky if we named them the blackskins?
it's dead jim; let it lie. not worth the trouble and it's not happening. No need to waste any more time on it.
Well when someone claims that "Redskins was a derogatory term" I will always seek to educate him on that erroneous belief. (Scholars say it's not, activists say it is - who should one believe)?

I can't believe we're still debating this dumb shit, we haven't been the Redskins in at least 3+ years.

Well, I think it's fair to talk about. It's been debated ad nauseum, and we all know the name isn't coming back, but the conversation was sparked by the shirt worn by the new Head Coach. Like it or not (nothing burger or not) it was an event that occurred during this off-season and this isn't the only forum in which conversations about it are taking place.
What exactly was the purpose of wearing that shirt. I mean it was purposeful, right?
It’s a cool shirt, I don’t think it means anything else

The minute someone claims Redskins is a derogatory term I will always respond. I will never cede to that claim when it is emphatically false. Additionally, that slurs the fans that still buy and wear the gear and ultimately poses a threat to them as well.

Since this has come up ... Commanders owners have no plans in the works to change the name, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

I don't even think it's a cool shirt. One thing (the feathers) has nothing to do with the other (Commanders W).
Someone printed that shirt to stir the pot - and it worked. He chose to wear it. Surely, he wasn't oblivious to that fact.
