But 9 out of 10 people said they weren’t offended in a bullshit poll, and anyway we aren’t doing it because it is offensive it is because we think that they should be erased from history.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

WTF, WFT. Where's the NONE OF THE ABOVE button?

If I had to pick one, it would have to be Generals.

Please no on "Heroes". The D.C.-area PC crowd would be using our team for all kinds of crap. Everybody's a hero since the Chinese Coronavirus has hit. I can't wait until the Washington Heroes has their "Be a Hero, Come Out of the Closet and tell your parents you are LGBTABCXYZ789+" night!

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Just what we need, to turn a name discussion into a political discussion.

All of those names suck and I am incredibly disappointed those are the best they could come up with.

Washington Bisons? Really? Really really? Washington Heroes? Generals? Rough Riders?

Why not Washington Brokebacks?

If there was a none of the above option I guarantee it would receive >80% of the vote.

I'm not voting on those choices. They had to know these choices are so terrible, makes me think that's what they want. If nobody votes it must mean we want to stick with Washington Football Team!

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

If we change the team name to Heroes, I will puke simultaneously out of every orifice of my body.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Leave it as is.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Washington Generals? Like the worst team in sports history? Why not at least name them after the team that beat the Generals 16,000 times and make it the Globetrotters? And I thought the plural of bison was bison. No?

Really, these 4 choices are terrible.

Haha. I think they are trying to make us fear that they pick the shittiest name possible, so when they end up picking a decent one every body is relieved, even those who weren't fans of the selected option.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Pretty sure GW was a slave owner ,I think it might be the Sentinels.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Leave it as Washington Football Team. Not having a silly nickname is unique in pro sports and the W logo is good so there's no need to change.

I actually agree, The only name I'd like is Warriors anyway so just keep it WFT and put the W logo on the Helmets

They definitely have to put the W on the helmets. I cant stand the numbers, it looks too disjointed.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

So since the removal of Redskins as the mascot name...I'm curious to see how many of you are still bitter about it or you're just like meh and moved on. For example, any time someone says anything about "native americans" or "Indians"...I find myself going "hey that's being racist and don't call them that...they don't want to be mentioned....#notyourmascot! The name change has caused me to become racist against them...and I hate that. I know it's a small number of them that lead that charge but I am doing exactly what you're not supposed to do and grouping them all together in my anger. I've always been fascinated with their history and loved learning new things about them and a lot of that came from being a Redskins fan at such an early age, but now I'm just bitter towards them. And yet I still call the team the Redskins when talking about them. Anyone else in this boat?

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I see stuff on Facebook, and I hate to use generalisations, but they largely fit into 3 camps; the majority are somewhat sensible if a little uneducated about football, idiots who can barely string a sentence together and the (not insignificant) rest who just take every opportunity to post "change it back" and posts to that effect. Frankly, it's the last group holding things back, like a surfer on a boogie board trying to ride a 50 footer on the north shore.

I mean, how many people went/go to Ravens games protesting they're the real Browns? Or the Titans for that matter?

While I never saw it as profoundly derogatory, I see how it had that connotation and it's no skin (pardon pun) off my nose to change the name and move on. But we need a name. Hearing pundits say "the Football Team" is just awful.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I'm perfectly fine with WFT. I thought the change would bother me but it hasn't at all. Bigger things in life to worry about perhaps.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I've moved on but they need to move on from WFT. I want a name that will be respected. WFT isn't it.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I still don't get why most of the media cannot refer to the team as "Washington" rather than "The Football Team" many are doing it deliberately and the others are just dumb I guess

HERES A GOOD SUGGESTION ....

No.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I've said it before the no name thing is cool but I think they should follow the Olympics example and be called "Team Washington" In football conversations there is no need to call them "Football Team"

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Sentinels!

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I think Redwolves or just Wolves. Possibly Red Hawks. Warriors would be alright but the logo could not be indian related.....

Not of fan of the other ones.

Braves would have been good - original team name - but no way they use that

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

How about REDSKINS!! Fuck the PC crowd. That’s the only team name I know.

Redwolves or just Wolves is my favorite and seems to be leading online polls and comments section.
Jason Wright clearly [URL="https://www.espn.com/blog/washington/post/_/id/40669/washington-president-jason-wright-on-new-name-culture-nfl-investigation"]hinted multiple times at the fact he's hearing the howls[/URL]. He also clearly stated it's gonna be [URL="https://www.washingtonfootball.com/news/washington-football-team-president-jason-wright-weekly-brief-9-30"]a long process[/URL] and we may very well still be the WFT next year.

I really like his forwardness regarding the renaming process, and I also like that they're taking time to study all options and listen to fans' voices.

I agree

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Redwolves is okay ...” Team Washington “ain’t bad , we allready know the team is playing football .. if they are going with Redwolves or one of those type names then do it now ... no need to drag this out for another year and come out with that .. I understand if they are gonna go in a entire different direction ( change colors etc) then waiting to get it right is cool .. but imagine all this hype and build up and waiting a year to announce .... are you ready ... redwolves..

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I'm ok with them taking their time. They've been the Redskins for 87 years, so this is a big deal. 100% will not like the new name, no matter what it is, but I like that they are putting in the time to try to "get it right."

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

They ain't changing the name folks, it's going to be WFT going forward..

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I think the intent on the team's side is to maintain that connection to the past. If you go with Red Wolves for example, it's an entirely new identity. If Snyder was pushed out, who knows, maybe a new owner would want to start fresh with a new identity. As for now though, I think WFT is the odds on favorite to stay in place.
