You are probably just as upset about the confederate flag being frowned upon so honestly idc wtf u think...

Okay, so we change the name - Redskins to Red Tails.

Next the fight song will be outlawed - Braves on the warpath? Racist overtones.

Then websites with any native american references - Warpath to Flight Path?


Personally, I will always refer to the team as the Redskins whatever happens.

If they MUST change it, how do you feel about "Buckskins" ? - that way its possible to preserve the nickname 'Skins.. and the 'Skins-Cowboy's rivalry?

[Z King]

Here's a possible solution for adapting the "Fight Song" - What d'you think? I think its serviceable/okay:

Hail to the Redtails (or Buckskins)!
Hail Victory!
March to the End Zone!
Fight for old D.C.!
Run or pass and score—We want a lot more!
Beat 'em, Swamp 'em,
Touchdown! -- Let the points soar!
Fight on, fight on 'Til you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah!
Hail to the Redtails!
Hail Victory!
March to the End Zone!
Fight for old D.C.!

From what I’m told, words and symbols change...redskins means only the professional football team in Washington DC...nothing derogatory at all.

Anyone see any irony in this at all?

Sigh...Punch again calling me a racist because I disagree with him.

This is directly from the liberal playbook when they have no argument.

Things change. The society is changing rapidly right now. The team name will change with it. You know, The March of Time, etc. There isn't a thing anybody on this board can do to stop it. Nor can Dan Snyder. It was inevitable. So relax and get over the name thing.

The name change is no longer in dispute because Dan Snyder can't afford to lose a fortune by rejecting his major sponsors' "requests" that he change the team name, "or else". Right now, Snyder is simply going through some face-saving busy work routine before announcing the name change and rebranding that he already made plans for years ago.

I will never ever ever wear anything other then my REDSKINS gear. I am not going to follow this fake ass movement that is going on. A bunch of pandering (mostly white) people who really don't give two shits about native americans. I just can't get behind it cause it's empty. It's fake. It's weak as hell. I will never call this team the Washington Warriors. Ever.

It’s all political anyways ... I will always remember the Redskins and the joy and frustration they gave me ! Hopeful that the Native American tradition will continue with a few tweaks .. I kinda like the Warpath as a team nickname .. Washington Warpath !! I just hope it’s not some watered down name like the federals or monuments or something with different colors .. the feather on the helmet with a W would be nice .. if the teams retains the Native American theme I think most are on board ..

There's always going to be people offended by something. Should we stop killing and eating animals because PETA is offended? When 8 out of 10 people who identify as Native American aren't offended, that was good enough for me. That's no longer the case. Now it's 20% of Native Americans, the entire Democratic party, District and federal officials who own RFK, and Fedex, Nike, and $620 billion worth of corporate money backing them. It's now overwhelmingly negative, and as such an announcement will be coming soon. I'm not gonna tweak about it when it's gone, and I'm not denying up until March, there was a small group of Native Americans offended by the name. But you're not gonna get an apology out of me either for supporting the name up until now.

Nike and Fed Ex really don't care about the name. They didn't give a damn until the dirty pig killed Floyd. Now all of a sudden they care? 😏 As far as DC their govt is basically retarded. Here you had Marshall's statue up in front of RFK for decades. Then you decide to take it down now when no one goes to the stadium and when it's going to be demolished? Got it.

I would forgive Snyder for all of his mishaps if he came out and said.. " sorry we ain't changing shit and are not going to be pressured into anything"..

And also Ron R has been here 6 minutes and hasn't won a damn game. He should have ZERO say in this..

Lol. So many hundreds of posts - most of which he eventually apologizes for. Classic.
