Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
A question: Can the NFL force a name change? Or does it have to come from the Redskin's management?
I know the NFL can exert a lot of pressure on the team, but ultimately it is up to the team owner, right? |

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
Short answer, no. I gave a longer answer elsewhere. Would have to look for it

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
I.. actually like pork skins.
The Washington Pork Skins. An ode to the Hogs. I guess we'd get sued by vegetarians then though.

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
I love the concept, but prefer they go back to the 'R' on the helmets. Logos don't need to match team names.

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
^ I like it.
And honestly, the only way I see a name change coming is if enough companies start talking about dropping deals with the NFL or the Redskins that a name change would be forced. If DS started losing profit out the ying-yang he would seriously consider it. And if enough people start protesting/media stops using the name that could eventually happen. |

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
The protests in Denver targeted players and apparently were bigger than in Green Bay. Another protest is planned for Minnesota.

I have some native american blood in me and i really do not get this. Seems like these people have too much time on their hands. I still say the cleveland "indians" is more offensive with the damn goofy cartoon dude.

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
I think today's meeting between Goodell and DS is the beginning of the end for Washington's football team being called the Redskins.

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
I agree Irish, it's sad but I think DS will cave

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
I don't think anything comes from today. It's more of a let's sit down with the other side just to placate them for a while.
