Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I am not talking about wearing the gear, I have lots of jerseys and gear I will wear. I am talking about actively rejecting whatever the new team name and brand will be. I am talking about complaining about the woke instead of supporting the team in its current and future form. Obviously, the jerseys and legacy of the Redskins will always be a part of the team history. This isn't Cleveland becoming the Ravens or Colts moving to Indy. Our team's history is an awesome story and the SB's will stand etched with the Redskins name forever.

Saying someone is wearing a Redskins jersey to honor Native Americans is as ludicrous as the woke statement that Redskins was a slur against them. The Redskins were a football team, changed from the Braves when they moved to Washington. The whole sanctimonious claptrap is just ridiculous.

Oh I meant that they'd refer to the team as the Redskins not any new name (especially if WFT is the final choice).

I concur with the bold. I don't think it has ever been about honor. Or derision.

The fact of that matter is Indians/Native Americans/Indigenous Peoples are viewed as ... Cool.

The look, the folklore, the myths- it all fascinates us. The examples are endless and not restricted to the dwindling number of team names. And it's not just us. A good chunk of the world shares this fascination.
