Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Snyder is still there and will remain for my lifetime. That Snyder has destroyed the franchise is no longer debatable. It was actually pretty clear by the time the debacles with Jeff George and Marty Schottenheimer took place. Yet, that was only the beginning and it continues. It always will.

But ... there was still history and tradition. Coupled with loyalty, most of us soldiered on and cheered our team. Now even that is being taken away even though with the right tweak, it could more or less continue.

So in the end, we will have a team with a ludicrous name run by a guy who honestly needs an army of shrinks and lifetime supply of Thorazine. The Washington Commanders owned by Daniel Snyder. Not much to love there.

I wish I could be as sanguine about this as you. But I am being asked to devote loyalty to what is for all intents and purposes a brand new football team owned by a vile man. Why exactly is it ridiculous to want to leave that?

Thanks for listening.

Just ignore the name change. Refer to them as the Redskins, you'd be surprised how many do (Even Troy Aikman).

Also, any fan leaving the team over the name after living through Vinny's and/or Bruce's shit show, and Snyder, is just ridiculous.

Nobody is leaving lol , if u lasted this long then nothing is going to force u out.. barring some crazy scandal

And in today's soft-ass, politically correct, erase our history - state of affairs, there was no way it wasn't going to happen. He didn't "do it", he is merely acquiescing.

Succinct and correct.

This soft ass generation who somehow thinks appropriate to use today society norms to apply to folks…300, 400 hundred years ago…these people wouldn’t have last a second back then.

+1

You guys know where I lean politically but this nonsense over words is just nonsense. I hear offensive shit every day - some of it intentionally, some who aren't aware that they're being offensive. Life goes on. I'm more concerned with those who intentionally mean to do us harm vs. a team name that has been around for almost 100 years.

Anyways, someone on Reddit said the shortening of Commanders is gonna be commies - and they're not wrong. Washington commies should make it removed from the list right away.

At this point in time my #1 name on the non-offensive list we find ourselves picking from is Washington Football Club. Let's be the first American non-soccer team to start that trend.

Not a fan of Commanders. I’d prefer Wolves or Red Wolves, but I’ll root for the team in any case.

No worse than those other choices .. let’s be real other than Warpath which I loved! ( and the native Americans had a issue with that ) nothing has been great .. I don’t hate the Wolves however it’s just too easy to name teams after animals .. if it is commanders it will at least have some relevant to area ( I’m sure it’s all military theme and DC is the home of The pentagon.. I don’t know if there is any name folks will all agree is good .. heck the Redskins was obviously hated by some .

There were lots of redskin stuff worn by fans last Monday night .. including singing HTTR .. unofficial by the fans ! I refer to them as Skins or Washington.. it’s hard to say football team ..

Considering our recent victories, I propose Washington Nail Biters.

This team sure has commanded our attention over the last month..

So the family of the man who created the logo is trying to get the rights to use it "so that it can become the face of the Blackie Wetzel Warrior Society, an organization that raises awareness about social inequities on Native American reservations and*missing and murdered Indigenous women. Native Americans"

I have no problem with this, I wonder if all the people who took offense by its use will come out to object. Hmmmm.

Well to be fair the "human mascot" point is quite a different story whether the logo is used by a multi billions dollars sports franchise or by an association defending NA rights and bearing the name of the NA man who designed it... isn't it ? Context is everything.

I felt all along that if the franchise had actually, from the start and all the way, done enough to represent, honor and support NA communities, the discussion would have been different. Maybe I'm wrong, cuz it sure didn't feel like the most vocal anti name people cared a lot about actual Natives' opinions... but we'll never know.

Coach Gibbs is revealing the name (date to be determined) but he shot the video today per the teams page.

Pretty cool to have Joe do it.

I bet it comes out SB week
