My major issue with this and the same with Redtails or any other name that involves a minority group. There will come a time in the future when the general perception of society will change. Will the name be considered a caricature, an appropriation or embracing a stereotype? Dan needs to think about the endgame here. Does he want to be rebranding 30 years from now because the tribal leader or societal position has changed?

If that Tribe is getting Royalties/Cash Flow from their partnership..I don't see them reversing their decision in the future. That is easy money IF they as a tribe don't see Redskins as a slight (which many native American sports teams are named Redskins)

The NFL may not survive 2020 the way it's going. My interest is pretty much gone.

I personally think COVID-19 and the ensuing fallout could have dealt a deadly blow to the NFL. I think the NFL going out of business is now a possibility. The revenue lost from missing this season has to be huge. And if the pandemic draws on, as is expected, they could lose next season too. Hard to imagine the league staying afloat with no way to play games or generate much revenue.

Stupidity continues. Weak shit.

When shit is going so damn good...you start tear apart from the inside. Sports teams names...that’s where we are at. Actually hear people try to rationalize Columbus statues been attacked...it’s laughable the piece of shit people we are producing. Soft

Sigh...Punch again calling me a racist because I disagree with him.

This is directly from the liberal playbook when they have no argument.

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue

The main thing that has changed for Dan Snyder is that they are hitting him in his pocket book. I just don’t think this is going to go away.

Make the change and publicize it about the “new team”. New narrative, forget about the last 20 years. I seriously doubt they will stay in the Native American genre.

I think in the end there are three big possibilities:

1. Red Tails - cool story, keep fight song, honors a military unit and military

2. Warrior - I think this is sort of boring but Snyder owns the name

3. Red Hawk - can’t go wrong with another bird in the NFL. Fight song the same
