DC Equity? DC Inclusionists? DC BLM?
Oh wait, its the District of Columbia. Columbia was named after Christopher Columbus. They hate Columbus for killing all the native Americans. Damn this is tough.
So, Redskins was too racist. Washington statues are being torn down because he owned slaves. And Columbus murdered Native Americans.

From the 30s till like 5yrs ago, no flak, just the "woke" PC culture pulling the "race" card. I'm quite sure the overall living circumstances of all American Indians has improved drastically since the name change. Same for all the people butthurt by statues & rocks.

I'm quite sure the overall living circumstances of all American Indians has improved drastically since the name change. Same for all the people butthurt by statues & rocks. It's still pretty bad. "Indians" doesn't bother me. "Chiefs" doesn't bother me. College teams that use tribe names like "Seminoles" is fine with me. But "Redskins?". That's a bridge too far. Better to shed it. I don't like the timing after the woke mobs forced it. But it should still be changed.

Imagine Detroits team being called the Blackskins.... I was shocked it took so long to be honest. Snyder put up a huge fight and paid off plenty of Natives. Now, in the 90s the Orangemen and Redmen were changed in Syracuse and St Johns respectively. Orange and Red Storm emerged. But the Cleveland Indians to the Guardians? The Braves stopping the tomahawk chop? Chiefs? Seminoles? GTFO.

Were you saying back in 78', "man, they should think about changing that name...it's so racist". Nope, you weren't, I doubt anyone on here that's been watching the NFL since the 60s has ever thought that. Ya'll just jumped on the "woke" bandwagon & decided to say, "Yeah, it should be changed". I had never seen any large groups of American Indians boycotting the team or protesting against the name in the previous 80+yrs when they were known as the Boston Redskins from 33'-36' before moving to Washington in 37'

I didn't give a shit about that team's name. But now that it's in the fore, they are much better off getting rid of it. That name is akin the Nips, Chinks and Krauts. It's a complete pejorative.

"Chiefs" and "Braves" are noble references.

I've actually been advocating that we change our name to the "Midgets" as it's been a very looooooooong time since this team played like it's namesake.

Washington Penis Wrinkles I like my suggestion better but this will suffice as well. But then again, it might offend those with wrinkled penises, just can't win!

Redskins is supposed be an allusion to the warpaint natives would wear.
Isn't this just a fact of history??
But doesn't it sound bad ass for a sports team?
Isn't football supposed to simulate warfare? It's tribalism by nature.
That's the way I look at it....
It's pretty much glorifying native American culture.
Totally complimentary
It had nothing to do with their skin color, which isn't even red lol
How about the Washington Red Necks ?? đ

Havenât been following this. But, Red Hogs is probably the best theyâre gonna get. Get to keep HTTR (I thought Red Tails would have worked too).
Armada is ok. I like that it doesnât end with an âsâ for some reason.
Commanders, Admirals, and Presidents are all spectacularly terrible.
