People are still gonna refer to them as the Redskins, but the name is gone in an official capacity. Let's move on and hopefully come up with something badass/inspiring. Ultimately though, the name will be judged on winning. If they change the name and the team still sucks for the next 10-20 years it will be hard to get rid of that association.



The reason I'm not opposed to the name Warriors anymore is because the W-L record will determine how the name is received. Case in point - Golden State Warriors. What do you associate that name with? What comes to mind when you think of that team? 1. Winning. 2. Dominance. 3. Titles. 4. A team that could be missing Steph Curry, or Dray, or Klay, and is still gonna be tough to beat on any given night. The point is - the name itself might not be the most inspiring - but if we associate it with a team that's tough to play on any day and wins more than it loses - it will go over well.

This is the hammer hitting the nail on the head. The reason people want to keep the Redskins (other than those damn racists and obstinate grumpy old men) is because of the association to winning in the 80s, where many of us formed that bond watching the Skins kick ass year in and year out.

The hard thing will be when the WFT goes 20 and 0 this year - even I will support keeping WFT because - hell yeah 20-0.
