Come up with a new name for the Redskins

[Beemnseven]

"Redtails" to me is ripe for mockery.

I can hear an opponent fan now: "your team's gonna have a red tail when we're done with them ... har, har."

Plus, the actual origin of the term is so obscure it will be lost on most everyone.

If it HAS to be done, let it be the Warriors -- it's the closest possible term that will still represent what this team once was. Redhawks would be my second choice. If there can still be some way to pay tribute to native Americans, that's what I'd like. Even if the prevailing opinion seems to prefer that we erase their entire existence.

Welcome back Beem. Glad to see you here again. Crazy how we went from "NEVER" to "we are retiring the name" lol.
