Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
I guess i'll be back in a couple days too. It's still a racial term, context matters. Cornbread and cracker can be used in an offensive context, and some people do take offense to it, or else the name wouldn't have changed. please stop, this is not the hill to die on.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
I used to argue the etymology thesis, then came around to the simple realization that the days of one race using another race as a mascot are over.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
That is not what the discussion was about. What kicked this off was a claim that Redskins is a derogatory term. It's not and I provided enough evidence that shows it is not.

This is pure opinion, not fact. And you’re shouting at clouds anyway - the name is gone and not coming back. It makes no sense to argue about any of this. We should be discussing the rookie minicamp, the upcoming schedule, Newton’s surgery, how Jacoby continues to get screwed by the HOF - basically anything related to football instead of rehashing this nonsense.

Our new owner is not stupid enough to spend 20-30 mil on a name change just because a few fans are still butthurt about it. He's still playing? He sort of fell off the face of the earth.

I think new ownership is hoping for a quick turnaround, nothing will distract from the name like winning and an exciting young star QB. I also think a revamp of the uniforms is much more likely than another full re-branding. |

If we get a competitive team and the uniforms are re-done I'll drop the name change argument.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
This news is a nonstory but it's still better than discussing the team names. Martavis Bryant is having a tryout with us - I would be surprised if he makes it to the 53 roster, but I love the fact that we are looking at everywhere to find gems.
