My major issue with this and the same with Redtails or any other name that involves a minority group. There will come a time in the future when the general perception of society will change. Will the name be considered a caricature, an appropriation or embracing a stereotype? Dan needs to think about the endgame here. Does he want to be rebranding 30 years from now because the tribal leader or societal position has changed?

If that Tribe is getting Royalties/Cash Flow from their partnership..I don't see them reversing their decision in the future. That is easy money IF they as a tribe don't see Redskins as a slight (which many native American sports teams are named Redskins)

The NFL may not survive 2020 the way it's going. My interest is pretty much gone.

I personally think COVID-19 and the ensuing fallout could have dealt a deadly blow to the NFL. I think the NFL going out of business is now a possibility. The revenue lost from missing this season has to be huge. And if the pandemic draws on, as is expected, they could lose next season too. Hard to imagine the league staying afloat with no way to play games or generate much revenue.

Yeah, the NFL also strikes me as a league short on cash. Some say the XFL was doing even better than the NFL was.

Do they have enough cash to be sidelined for multiple seasons while the virus calms down? Nobody has that kind of cash and you know it.

NFL shut down for multiple seasons? This is so detached from reality I don’t know where to even begin.

My guess is two seasons at the most. This year is lost because of the COVID getting out of control, and next year will be lost as the country continues to recover socially and economically, but there is still very high daily case numbers because the vaccine needs time to reach as many people as possible.

So i think it is two seasons without football, but no more than that.

LOL. Those are the same people that say their dogs are the ones who told them to kill those people.
