Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Nobody wants to go to a game at Fedex lol that place is a dump and so is the team

[Redskins247]

I'm holding out hope that somehow Congress or whoever finds something that gets Snyder run out of town...because if not, all of us will die knowing that Snyder renamed the team we all grew up loving and single handedly ruined.

If they pick some stupid fuck name like Washington Presidents, I will legitimately think about becoming a Panthers fan. The name change is like Jenga, if they pick the wrong name my whole fan stack is coming down.

Please don't fuck this up.

Deadskins seems appropriate nowadays.

I don’t think even a name change could save this franchise. They truly need to start over starting with a better fucking stadium.

I don't know if this will translate well, but where I come from we have a tradition at the football team I support (soccer for you colonials). When a substitution is made we chant "WHO?" when the player coming off is announced and the same when his replacement is announced. This is then followed by 3 rounds of "Who are ya (you)", It's all a bit of fun just to have a dig at these guys as football fans do; they could be some the most famous premier league players in history but we make them sound like nobodies.

It makes me think the new name could easily be the 'Washington WHO?'; after all they play like a bunch of nobodies...

Washington Team of Football. WTF.

If you've put up with 22 years of ineptitude and now the current scandal under Snyder, but a name change is the final straw, I don't know, seems kinda strange to me. But whatever it's a personal choice for everyone.

Personally, Snyder and his mountain of BS bothers me a lot more than what the team is called. He's the main reason I don't give a fuck anymore and why my fandom will probably continue to fade.

I love the NFL though, I can honestly be pretty happy watching the other 31 teams.

its not the name change that is upsetting me.

I am just saying its like we are snapping the chalk line here and its the start of a new franchise.

How many former Browns fans are Ravens fan or Oilers fans are Titans fans now? I realize we are not physical moving the team but it is a milestone in the history of the franchise.

LOOK! I am just trying to find away to get off this crazy train and in my head close the chapter.

I understand your point of view, but disagree a bit. I would put it this way. I grew up in PG County, singing hail to the Redskins, wearing Redskins gear, following players who were a part of the Redskins.

When Dan Snyder bought the team, I was a fan of the Redskins and their tradition in spite of Snyder. I watched years of ineptitude rooting for the Skins to turn it around. Then these past 10 years we have seen the insipid nature of Dan Snyder's ownership, but still they were the Redskins, Gibbs vouched for them, I wanted to believe. Hell I did believe that Skins name meant something to Snyder and his ilk. Then it was changed. It looked like it was external pressures that had been building up, but now we see it was as much to distract from even more detailed and disheartening information. So now you take all of the crap we have put up with as fans for the past 22 years add on top of that the crap they did to the cheerleaders, ST, and who knows many others, and I say that isn't my Redskins. That is NOT the team I rooted my guts out for in HS and college. That's not the team I knew the Redskins to be. Now, they aren't the Redskins, and they are continuing to behave in the spirit of that other team that I don't know. So yes the name is the tipping point, or alot of what my allegiance was built around. It sure wasn't an allegiance to Dan Snyder or even Ron Rivera.

Agree. If this team was a perennial playoff team and SB contender nobody would care what they are called. Now that they are total garbage from top to bottom the magnitude of changing the name and logo are magnified by powers of 10.

me too, i don't have to have 1 team... I Can root for players
