"In my opinion, if THE Washington Football Team remains, so does the history. While the name is bland, it does allow the team and history to remain. Creating a new logo and name is basically creating a new brand.

Yes, the Lombardi trophies remain in Ashburn and the memories of players who dawned the Burgundy and Gold will always be in our heart. But a new name creates a new identity.

Agreed.

Every "choice" in the fan new name polls SUCK DONKEY BALLS.

If we're going to be stuck with a name that SUCKS DONKEY BALLS, we should keep WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM.

Easy. I have run across several Native American fans of the team through the years. Usually striking up a conversation when we both had Redskins gear on. They said they were fans of the team because of the name and the logo, both of which they were proud of because it represented their people. They said they knew that “white men who wanted to erase our people from the Earth” were behind forcing the name change. They asked me to continue wearing Redskins shirts after a name change to help keep native people alive in the public eye. I promised them I would. I’m a man of my word. They assured me that the name is in no way offensive and there was no reason for it to change. So as an adult, I’m being one by keeping my word. I oppose cancel culture.

That's fine, but the name Redskins is not coming back. If that were an option I would be absolutely for it. You can honor the name and more importantly honor Native Americans by continuing to wear and use the Redskins emblems - I certainly will. But WFT does not do that, in fact it exemplifies the truth of cancel culture - use no thing that can possibly offend someone, be as bland and unaware as is heavenly possible, lest your choice of warriors or wolves or midgets somehow offends a new portion of the population.

It is possible to honor the Redskins, and be behind the new name of the franchise at the same time.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Sorry but the "not picking a new name equals staying Redskins" is quite short sighted to me. It may work for you (but wouldn't it have a canada dry taste?), but what meaning would it have in 50 years for people being born now, and in 100 years for people born 50 years from now ? It'll keep sending back to a name that has zero meaning for them...

Plus, with how detailed a process [URL="https://www.washingtonfootball.com/news/washington-football-team-president-jason-wright-weekly-brief-9-30"]Jason Wright has explained[/URL] times and [URL="https://www.washingtonjourney.com/timeline/"]times again[/URL], I just don't think staying WFT is an option. They can't afford to go "You know the fans input we asked you to provide and were so proud to say how many we received ? We won't use them cause that's too expensive. You know the rebranding we talked about so much for a year and a half ? We won't do it cause it's too complicated. You know the new name we were supposed to reveal to the world soon and install for the 2022 season ? Well we don't have one so we'll keep the generic place holder"... Just not happening.

Snyder touring across the world for “stadium ideas.” This seems kinda staged but why does Snyder seem so awkward? Glad Jason is now advising him…and Snyder is staying out of football decisions

So let me get this straight…Snyder won’t talk or give interviews to the press, yet speaking to *checks notes*…TMZ? Jfc…[/quote]

100% staged. Just listen to the "reporter"'s voice, so nice, and so prepared. And just look at how happy Dan is, trying to look cool and all. He's loving it. Still cringeworthy, but he's loving it.

My only worry is... could it be the start of Dan being more involved since he's kinda being re-instated by the league and doesn't have much to worry anymore ?
If that's the case, let's hope he focuses on the stadium and name ONLY!

Disagree if WFT sticks it means the team is really the Redskins. Many, maybe most still consider them to be the Redskins right now. Heck you see it happen by the announcers in almost every game and even during the draft one of the the Redskins announcers almost let it slip.
So keep WFT. (Also it pokes a finger into the eyes of the Cultural Revolutionaries (those guys need a little woke book they can wave in the air to complete the picture of who they are)).

It is an option. It’s called fighting back and standing up for principles instead of being a drone.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Many friends and family still saying redskins and skins, just what they will always be to me. I’ll never quit saying mostly based on the reasoning how it was changed. It wasn’t racist…that’s laughable horseshit every knows when u say Redskins you were only ever talking about the franchise in NFL.

Likewise I don’t mind anyone saying the new name or buying /wearing the new attire. It all good how we chose to celebrate the franchise.

You guys are crazy if you won't buy any WFT gear.. I was like that at first but then I fell to it and have since bought hats, hoodies etc. I'm actually glad the team has a new logo and identity now.. For so long the Redskins were trash and the laughing stock of the league. It seems like the new name has brought a brand new excitement to the team. I love the Skins don't get me wrong but change is good sometimes.

The NFLPA for some reason cares more about OTAs and the offseason than securing financial security for the players. NFL players will continue to get the shaft financially as long as the NFLPA continues to act this way.

Hard to find a name in today's culture that is simultaneously badass and doesn't offend any group of people though. I have low expectations. Generic names are all the rage (Kraken is the exception, but we won't do anything like that).

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I think Warriors is still in play, Red Wolves has faded away on social media big time. They will probably stick with WFT, their whole thing is they want to make sure Redskins isn't forgotten or lost and if you name it Warriors it could ruin it for a bunch of older fans. Just my thoughts
