Exactly my point.

Washington Football Team wins a Super Bowl, and you'll see fans come out of the wood work.

Veteran TE Ricky Seals-Jones signed with the WFT, per source. Washington’s TE room now includes Logan Thomas, Temarrick Hemmingway, John Bates, Deon Yelder, Tyrone Swoopes, Sammis Reyes and Seals-Jones.[/QUOTE]From his time in KC.

The only thing interesting here is that he and Deon Yelder were both on the Chiefs last year. I wonder if there is something about their offense (other then Majomes) that Turner wants to emulate? Doesn't seem like this is much more than depth for competition sake.

Anyone else read/hear the player interviews from OTA's and start thinking ...

" Watch out Miami!! Your record is going down! 17 - 0 baby!! "

I swear nothing gets the koolaid pumping than hearing the players use cliches to describe the current roster. Probably because we've sucked so bad the past two decades.

But I'm bullish on our squad next season.

Our D, combined with a gunslinger and speedy wideouts .... yes please.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1284294]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[/quote]

I think as long as no real new name is chosen, people tend to still think Redskins mentally at times. I think THE DAN gloats in annoying the Woke by not choosing a real new name and that we will therefore keep it unless some great name comes up. Remember also that squatters own rights to most of the good names and it would cost THE DAN a pile to get them. He can afford that, but is also kind of guy that would refuse to pay it no matter what the cost. Just another example of our turd owner being the turd he is. I honestly think barring this factor we changed our name long ago.

I'm quarter Cherokee. My grandmother was 100% Cherokee. Whitey committed genocide and ethnic cleansing in stealing the Continent from Native Americans, but does changing a team name really do anything about this reality? Being forced to change name in first place is ridiculous, but at some point you accept it and move on--unless you are The DAN of course. When America is forced to start giving the land back, I'll believe the Woke movement is real, LOL. The name change symbolizes everything worst about Woke, focusing on token superficialities but shunning any real change that requires real sacrifice. As if changing a sports team name is somehow adequate recompense for the theft of a Continent, LOL.

I’m so burned out on the name game. Finding an animal to name our team just seems juvenile and random. I wish the DMV had something badass and historic to draw on (a la Steelers), but all we really have is the seat of government, and those nicknames suck more than animals.

If we stay with WFT, maybe a *true* nickname will emerge as the team finds its new identity. The WTF unis can still be dope without a stupid animal or — God forbid — the Washington Monument on them.

I think he will be able to make the transition well, as long as he puts in the work every day. It probably will take him 2 years or so for him to become comfortable though. We shouldn't expect anything from him this year.

Stop me if anyone has heard this before, but I think we should use the name Redskins and just change the logo to a potato. Boom problem solved. Brilliant.

A red, football-shaped potato. With eyes. Angry eyes.

When I was a teenager — long before the Internet — some sage sports guru told me that the name Redskins originated in Boston from Boston baked beans. I believed this for years until it was possible to research this kind of thing. Just think of the cheer possibilities.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Some different and interesting (to me at least) news:

Nothing imminent. These things take months and sometimes break down. But I have it on good authority that Jay-Z is actively divesting assets to position himself for purchase of stake in #WFT.
