Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I see stuff on Facebook, and I hate to use generalisations, but they largely fit into 3 camps; the majority are somewhat sensible if a little uneducated about football, idiots who can barely string a sentence together and the (not insignificant) rest who just take every opportunity to post "change it back" and posts to that effect. Frankly, it's the last group holding things back, like a surfer on a boogie board trying to ride a 50 footer on the north shore.
I mean, how many people went/go to Ravens games protesting they're the real Browns? Or the Titans for that matter?
While I never saw it as profoundly derogatory, I see how it had that connotation and it's no skin (pardon pun) off my nose to change the name and move on. But we need a name. Hearing pundits say "the Football Team" is just awful.
