DC would still hold up a stadium deal. If that was to happen it should have happened already.

Bingo.

They need to get as far away from any direct correlation to NA as possible or this issue will only continue to fester.

Dear Mr punch it in, Please change your name as I find the word "punch" to be too violent.

The question is will Dan listen to reason. I can see him saying "but we are honoring them" as his argument and not seeing the forest for the trees. Like I said this will be his defining legacy.

Screw it up and he will be known as the perpetual loser that defended racist and racist jr. monikers. Do this right and his legacy may very well become positive.

I have always thought, "honoring them" was a pretty hollow claim. I realize it is the obvious retort to "disparaging them", but Dan should never have made that his basis.

Honestly, we Americans and a good chunk of the world have always been fascinated by the indigenous peoples of North America. Indians are Cool. The imagery is intoxicating.

As for his legacy, Dan has had several second chances and tends to scuttle them after showing promise.

It is nice knowing Ron Rivera is there and there is an adult at the table but to piggy back on what you said that is a classic Dan move. RR has been here for a cup of coffee and he is having input. I am assuming Gibbs is being asked for advice, maybe? IDK

If we're not going with a Native American name/reference and are looking for a military reference I like:

Washington Veterans
Washington Commanders
Washington Mustangs
