Not going to happen you will just have to wait for those fans to die off. I imagine they will remain the majority for some time.

My buddy still calls the Wizards the Bullets.

I have a friend at work that does that. Still calls the Nats the Expos, calls the Ravens the Browns etc, etc. It gets very annoying very quickly.

Sometimes. Sometimes it is Browns A and Browns B. Really whatever he wants to express his annoyance with teams changing names.

Well those teams did actually move from one location to another.

I still refer to the Wizards as the Bullets but not all the time and I am not anal about it. Bullets is just cooler. Most agree.

Fair enough. He just does it to be obnoxious. He is not a Redskins fan at all in fact he hates them but he said they will always be the Redskins to him. To each their own.

This.. For the fans that are in their 30's or younger I suspect that it is easier than someone who's in their 50's like myself. Or the ones that are older than me.

I grew up in DC and went to numerous games at RFK. Redskins is in my blood and that will simply never change until I die off.

This new stuff is just too phony. It's BS made up by the wokeness climate we live in. I wish Dan stood his ground on it. I would have forgiven him for all his BS over the years. An owner like Mr Cooke or even Al Davis would have fought it until the bitter end.

I'm 60. To me they will always be the Redskins. Total bs they changed the name and then did not want to go with Wolves/Redwolves. If they really cared about the fans they could've got things moving more than a year ago on that and gotten it done. Money talks.....


My father was in the military for over 25 years. The first game he saw was the Giants and the Redskins was in 1966 Redskins 72 Giants 41 and that is what got hooked on the Skins. We used to listen to them on the radio when I was a kid

I hope it is Sentinels, but most likely not going to happen, for reasons mentioned before. At least with that you can tie it in with the military but don't have to.


That being said they will always be my team, just hoping the name is something stupid and lame.
