BUT, they did, and now we should to move forward. WFT is not moving forward, and it's not going back, it's just stuck in nothingness.

We're already keeping the team colors, that's good enough. New name, new image, new fight song, let's go.
People are still gonna refer to them as the Redskins, but the name is gone in an official capacity. Let's move on and hopefully come up with something badass/inspiring. Ultimately though, the name will be judged on winning. If they change the name and the team still sucks for the next 10-20 years it will be hard to get rid of that association.
The reason I'm not opposed to the name Warriors anymore is because the W-L record will determine how the name is received. Case in point - Golden State Warriors. What do you associate that name with? What comes to mind when you think of that team? 1. Winning. 2. Dominance. 3. Titles. 4. A team that could be missing Steph Curry, or Dray, or Klay, and is still gonna be tough to beat on any given night. The point is - the name itself might not be the most inspiring - but if we associate it with a team that's tough to play on any day and wins more than it loses - it will go over well.
