Well the Redskins News site doesn't have anything on it either.

That site is part of the NFL network. No surprise or coincidence there. It's an absolute joke.

Nope, that's the Redskins website, which is owned by the team.

I'd have to look into that. I'd have to believe the league has a say as to what goes on teams official sites. Otherwise, whoever runs the site is just an idiot. This issue is probably one of the nearest and dearest to a lot of Skins fans. Makes no sense to just act like the ruling didn't happen.

Here you go: Redskins.com | Privacy Policy

Don't see anything here about the site being operated by the NFL.

If you're right, and it looks like you are, why would the site not cover this story? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. That decison was a big deal for the team and the country in general.

I would imagine that the team wants this to become a non-issue, which at this point it is very likely to happen. Best way to make it a non-issue is to not talk about it. Although Snyder did put in a statement about the ruling if I am not mistaken.

If mike wise is on your computer or phone or tv, make it so he isnt. Out of site out of mind. Hes on my Peter King level of full avoidance.

The NFL is going to give this a wide berth and go all out to avoid dipping their toes in that pond. They are keeping out of this court of public opinion (for once) and letting Washington fight the battle.

I believe if the NFL really wanted to force any suggestion for a name change 'for the collective good of the league' there are avenues they could have taken already. Like not selling the merchandise in the NFL store, removing link references to the team website etc etc etc.

The silence of the NFL on this really speaks volumes of their indifference to the whole thing.
