Objectively, there is basically zero reason to cheer for the Redskins if you don’t have some preexisting emotional connection to the team. It’s a dysfunctional, losing operation owned by an unlikable shithead. When the team changes, I’m not sure how many fans will hang in there with them.

Bingo, I know I won’t.

Native Americans


Is a Eurocentric term. Native? Meaning from there? Cause they migrated too. But they were there when whites showed up (aka when history started according to you) so that makes them native.

Don’t they have to change the name completely? Washington is now offensive, so the team should be the new State name plus the mascot. The name of the team should be the BLM Protesters. Obviously the new State is BLM

doubt they'll change their name given that it's a specific tribe and that tribe supports it
none of this matters. White liberals will be offended for them and it will be changed

going to laugh when the same people who want the name changed then start griping about public land and money going to the new stadium. Can’t ever please these idiots.


This is already a thing. Name change aside there are already debates about what the land RFK now sits on should be used for. I think the agreement with the federal government (who owns the land) says something along the lines of the land has to be used for recreational use or something to that effect. But many are arguing that more housing should be out there instead.

There are proposals of having both a new stadium and housing there.

ETA: here’s just one link that kind of details it. There are many others like it.

Can we make the Texans problematic just to get rid of that retarded name?


I still remember the press conference where that old fossilized cracker was trying to explain where the name came from.

Just change the name to the Washington Pigskins. It's a common name for a football, it would honor the history of the franchise, and their fans like to dress up as pigs so there wouldn't be much adjustment there. Plus they can still call the team the Skins without being racist as frick about it.

They've tried several times and the Seminole Tribe always tells them to frick off.

I think it will be the Washington RedTails. Seems like there is a lot of chatter about it. Dwayne Haskins just recently commented he would like to see them change the name to that. There seems to be a lot images already with this.

They could do some cool stuff with their Unit Patches on the uniform too...sorta like how Army and Navy do.

Utter bs. Bully behavior.


Imagine being this upset about losing the name redskins.

You can probably create a team in madden and name it the darkies or something so you can get your fix.
