That's their tactic, protest and pressure company into changing policies...then move onto the next company.

Caving to liberal politics is a sure business-killer, just ask Dick's Sporting Goods.

Same here.
Older classic gear like jerseys and jackets are put away.
I still wear Redskins shirts to work out and around town.

I've never been a fan of the decked out superfan look.

You know Florio and his gang of betas said he will be watching who uses the term Redskins going forward. Apparently he been scrubbing nfl.com websites looking the name as well as team sites.

When you have nutless cowards like this, nothing will surprise me.

I can't believe Florio still has that job

This

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if FedEx and Nike put pressure on the Washington Football Team to ban the wearing of any gear that has the has the word Redskins on it because it is considered 'Hate Speech'

Exactly...I can't see the banning of the jerseys, since except for the last few years, the jerseys have never actually had the Redskins word mark on them. So technically there wouldn't be any reason to ban the jerseys.

Believe it or not I actually heard that the NFL is considering going back and Dubing Over the word Redskins for all of the NFL Films videos that involve the Washington Football Team and all archival footage game broadcasts too.

If true... that completely sux!

Do you know how time intensive of a process that would be?

I'd like to see a reliable source on that.

Re: Will You Still Wear Your Skins Gear After?

Doubt that, are they going to paint out the Indian logo and every mention of the redskins in each frame of film, I doubt it in which case what is the point in changing the audio

Changing the audio would not only be stupid, but also well into the realm of what is traditionally and correctly termed, "Orwellian."

Why not edit the helmets too while they're at it

Re: Will You Still Wear Your Skins Gear After?

They'd also need to edit all sideline helmets and staff gear! Then cut out all fan shots.


Not only is this idea far-fetched, it's impossible. You'd just have to stop showing all Redskins videos altogether.

And that, as mentioned, would definitely be Orwellian. Erasing the existence is history because you're offended, actually is happening though.

Now that is something I can see them and others doing, or at least pressing for. The question is more likely how long before the records of historic Superbowl winners and player statistics have the name changed

We are clearly seeing strong examples of both Maoist and Orwellian behavior across the country.

It kinda laughable to think some erasure of skins in the archives hasnt been discussed in the NFL halls. Obscenely naive.

So let's see some proof this is being considered

If it was I'm sure hacks like Florio would be all over it

Re: Will You Still Wear Your Skins Gear After?

People wanted the name gone, but I never heard someone say the name needs to go and the entire team history scrubbed clean.
