Personally I don't want some generic non-name to build a new legacy on. Start new, and bring new memories for the youth to attach to. Think about a 10year old fan dressed getting syked to dress as a wolf or howl at the stadium. Thats awesomeness. Sitting in a wft bland jersey with no identity except the past for the future that sucks for a 10 yo fan. Us "adults" ought to be able to accept change and move forward to create an inspiring legacy for the next generation.

Easy. I have run across several Native American fans of the team through the years. Usually striking up a conversation when we both had Redskins gear on. They said they were fans of the team because of the name and the logo, both of which they were proud of because it represented their people. They said they knew that “white men who wanted to erase our people from the Earth” were behind forcing the name change. They asked me to continue wearing Redskins shirts after a name change to help keep native people alive in the public eye. I promised them I would. I’m a man of my word. They assured me that the name is in no way offensive and there was no reason for it to change. So as an adult, I’m being one by keeping my word. I oppose cancel culture.
