I’m talking logo and REDSKINS is not derogatory name. Join save the Redskins on Facebook and find out how many Native Americans will tell you to fuck off for saying that.

Blackhawks has been getting heat from the Native Americans, so yes, it's offensive to them.

Apparently it is difficult to comprehend. I’m amazed at the level of meltdown around here.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's gonna be Warriors, and everybody will be happy until our on-field performance is so terrible even the Wounded Warriors want no association with us.

Just got the word of New name REDSKINS in He said fuck all y’all

The Redskins are expected to announce Monday they're retiring their name without specifying yet what the new name will be, source says, as initially reported by @BenFischerSBJ.

So it looks like dropping the Redskins name will be made official tomorrow but no new name will be revealed? It’s almost like Dan is doing this purposefully to drag out media attention and the $$ that comes with that.

Snyder can’t even do this correct ...

Step 1: Media attention
Step 2: ??????
Step 3: Profit

Alternate theory: The Redskins have either just started the trademark process and know it won't even get looked at for another 3 months, or they haven't gotten anything approved yet and that's why they don't want to announce the new name.

I know. I was just being shysty. I’m sure he’s trying to pay off one of these trademark squatters with $12 and some season tickets as we speak.

Hmmm. On another thread MTK said he picked up some Redwolves domain names. Coincidence or unsolved mystery?....

[SkinzWin]

Has anymore seen a report about a time for the announcement today? Is it going to be a live broadcast or just a pre-made statement?

[Monkeydad]

Wait, hold on...I guess they have to change the name of the road too...Redskins Park Drive? So many things will be discovered that need to be changed that no one even considered. Charities too most likely.

Goofed with "sponsors, fans and community".

Why mention sponsors first? I know it's THEIR FAULT we're changing but it doesn't play well to the fans to be mentioned after sponsors.

Said the same thing in another thread. Doesn’t sit well with me. Without fans there’d be no team to get sponsorships.
