Come up with a new name for the Redskins

[mooby]

They ain't gonna let Braves on the Warpath fly Frenchie. And do we really want a new fight song with a bunch of tweaks to satisfy the pc crowd, or do we just want a new song to go with our new identity?

After the name changes, “they” can’t say shit. Fans can sing any song they want, wear redskins, say redskins, fly the redskins banners high in the air, etc.

Once the name changes...it’s over for the protesters. Not fans...Redskins will always be apart fandom for the organization. They can cry all they want

Personally, I'll always call them the Redskins and sing HTTR. I have a feeling you'll hear fans spontaneously singing it after TDs for years, in their own form of protest mixed with nostalgia.

My son said yesterday he'll never stop wearing his Redskins gear.



Heck, I still call the basketball team the Bullets because Wizards is such a stupid name, perhaps the worst team name in all of pro sports.

As we all should. If you have a problem with it, you should have left a long time ago.

Ok... maybe something gets lost in translation there because I really didn't think that would be perceived as a NA reference. A Warrior can be brave on the warpath without being a Native American, can't he ?

The thing is, I'm a fast learner and would happily learn a new fight song in a couple of hours... But I have no trust in Dan and his team to come up with a new fight song that rocks in a couple of weeks.
Because they haven't shown anything to earn that trust. And because the amount of work they'll have to do to rebrand everything on time for the start of the season is mind blowing.

I agree on your last point but apparently they've been working on this for a month already. Obviously they got some sort of indication ahead of time with everything going on since Floyd was murdered.
