Is that even possible? Think about the rebranding it would take ? If his minority owners have a problem with it would they or whomever buys in expect the name Redskins to be completely removed from everywhere? In other words it might be too heavy a cost to rebrand twice. I dont see an interim team name as a feasible solution.

I guess I was saying take time with the rebrand. Recognize the name is changing and don't use a name Redskins for the year while they figure it out. I thought it would be away to prevent sponsors from thinking nothing was changing while DS tried to get the name right. IDK.

It's going to be Warriors. Just makes too much sense.

Like others have said: Keep any NA imagery, and Leftist pressure/protests will continue.

And it is Leftist. Conservatives aren't against the name.

Anybody wanting to change the name: So when should this website be renamed or shut down?

At this point, sure change the name. So I can honestly say the Redskins died and feel better rooting for the Chiefs. Not because of their name, but Patrick Mahomes. When they have to change their name, we'll see.

Why would this site shut down? If it's Warriors then Warpath is still perfectly relevant. A simple update of the site banner which we do almost every year anyway is all that would be needed. Not that hard.

MTK, I wish the best for you. Rooting for the Washington Whatevers.

The other thread you started, "Skins getting heat again over name issue", you link Mike Florio saying this: washington franchise should change its name now

Here's a Mike Florio article yesterday. native american groups ask nfl to stop using all names images and logos

Florio and the other woke ppl are wrong, about the name redskins, about most things. But that's the trend. There isn't any good principle behind it, but if one really thinks the team name is racist, so's this site. Hope you guys stick it out.

Huge difference between Redskins and Warriors or Warpath. This site will be fine but I appreciate the concern.

Right, it is driving me nuts all the comparisons between a slang term for an entire race of people and names like Warrior.

The word police can never be satisfied. They are using words to control us and promote their agenda.

Some people are taking it way too far. Warriors with the spear logo would be perfectly appropriate and not offensive. Warriors is a very generic term and spears aren't exclusive to Native Americans. Drop the feather off the spear if it helps but I don't think that's necessary.

Agree, it's really not that deep guys. If the team can't use a damn spear and feather then Florida State is screwed

FSU isn't screwed as long as they keep giving the Seminole Tribe a few million reasons each year to be cool with the university using the Seminole name and imagery. The minute FSU stops giving those millions attitudes will change.

The people taking it too far are the protesters.

The name Redskins is perfectly appropriate and not offensive for the Washington football team.

MTK, I think you're asking the wrong question about the name Warrior. The question isn't is it reasonable. The question is will the people pressuring Nike and FedEX over "Redskin" , protest "Warrior" next?

Making the new Washington Warriors colors basic army camo would save this mess. But then you have leftist protests about "pro-military" "white surpremacy" etc. Are people willing to stand up for that? Or kneel before the protesters like now?

And face it, "warpath" is on the same level as "teepee", "taking scalps", etc. Think the same leftist protesters won't go after those, especially after they get their way on "Redskins"?

And if you're personally OK with ditching "Redskins", why not "Warpath"? Again, I hope you don't. Just stating what's going to happen with current trends.

-------------------------------------
BTW

The dictionary definition changed over time, that's on those people, and people pressuring them.

I could have sworn a major change in definitions happened in the late 90s - 2000's, not coincidentally during Redskin protests but I've having about as much luck googling it as I am the names of people killed during recent riots vs say Floyd and Brooks. Go figure.

Cheers!
