Are they testing the waters for a return?

Isn’t there a Native American group threatening to sue them for changing the name from Redskins?

The liberal sports media intelligentsia would lose their minds. I would love to see Florio melt.

Yes. Red people support the Redskins name. Liberal white idiots are the ones who cried at night over the "racist" name.

It was a small group that opposed the name change, and their claim about being North Dakota was debunked being that they are based in Virginia. Lawsuit was tossed.

Bring back the Redskins, Fighting Sioux, Cleveland Indians, ULM Indians, St. John Redmen and any other mascot that was cancelled by the woke white libtards.

Florio is such a bitch. Between his Skins stance and climaxing at the injustice towards Kap....frick that dude.

What's sad is this one is the prime example of how the NCAA treats the 'big boys' versus small schools.

FSU got to keep the name Seminoles, and all the logos, because the Seminole tribe / leadership endorsed it and supported it.

The Sioux did the same thing for North Dakota, supported it vehemently, but the NCAA told them nope, get rid of it, or suffer penalties.

That's the one mascot change that's always pissed me off....

The Seminole tribe has an extremely healthy relationship with the university and state of Florida.

There are no legitimate reasons to keep the "Redskins" name. There's nothing within the term that does anything positive for the Native American community. Supporting it just because you're against being "woke" is so fricking stupid. That would he like supporting slavery because "it was accepted back then" and completely out of touch with how society evolves and operates.

The Cleveland Indians logo was an offensive caricature implying that every NA had big teeth, wore a feather, and had tomato red skin. Also, it's idiotic because they're not from INDIA.

They were also funded in part by Snyder. The lawsuit was also about defamation.

Any time this comes up I feel compelled to remind everyone that what finally pushed Snyder to change the name was when FedEx threatened to remove its sponsorship from the stadium.

The name changed.

FedEx pulled out of the sponsorship anyway a few months ago. Ridiculous.

What's interesting is that is not a Nike shirt, (obvious from the collar and the cut) which is technically what Quinn could get in trouble for

It was dumb they got rid of the logo in the first place since it was George Washington. Just turn him white if you were going to change the name and logo.

I always said it should have been "DC Generals" and have the white GW profile with ribbons instead of feathers. Same basic logo and uniforms, I'd have even kept the font and added just a teeny dash of navy blue to the colour scheme.

That implication is purely in YOUR head. Stop projecting your lack of perspective onto the rest of us.

The only reason they changed the name is because of 2020 when the world was shut down and every lib with nothing better to do ran to twitter to complain about every little thing and people/things cancelled left and right.

So I guess the Celtics logo is offensive too? Depicts Irish folks of being fat and looking like a leprechaun? Jesus, WTF has happened to society?
