Or we were waiting to see who fell to us in the draft. Or both.

Yeah either way seems doubtful we would bring him in now.

Super Bowl odds. I would definitely have the Redskins higher, Unbelievable that the Cowboys supposedly have the same chances.

Good to know they're spending time on such critical issues.

[Lotus]

Yeah, no one will make fun of a "Redtails" nickname.

That's opposed by 90% of Indians to boot:

Only 9% of those polled said the name of the NFL team is "offensive," while 90% said it's acceptable, according to the University of Pennsylvania's National Annenberg Election Survey, released Friday.

Normally im against any type of name change. But if we are allowed to have the Redskinettes wear chaps with a thong and have people spanking them so they have...

Ok, Nvm. Forget redtails.

not to piss on your point...but that poll was taken a decade ago...I'm sure the results are a little different today...even so...its a name...I'd be more upset if they were the Maryland Redskins or Virginia Redskins than the Washington Redforce or whatever.

Grosso should worry more about changing his own last name. Native Washingtonian who either hates football or roots for the another team, **** him!! He wants to be the Gavin Newsome of offensive sports teams names instead of gay marriage.

He's no fan, how can you want to rename the name of the most beloved successfull franchise in Washington history? That's sacrilege and he should never show up at FedEx field since it's in Maryland.

After this bullshit was posted in the Reddit /nfl sub forum, the mods decided to ban any further news in regards to the Redskins name unless it was ground breaking. (aka....they actually changing their name)

Hello folks,

With regards to the Redskins possible rename, we mods feel it would be best if we removed all articles regarding it UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE NAME IS ACTUALLY CHANGED OR THERE IS SIGNIFICANT NEWS FROM THE NFL OR THE REDSKINS.

The reasons for this are as follows:

The argument itself has been absolutely beaten into the ground in this sub, with the same two types of comments posted over and over, and at this point no value is being added.

(Here are the two points: Point 1: It's not racist. Point 2: It's racist, how would you feel if they were called the Washington insert slur here.)

There's no "debating", there's no agreement or common ground to be found.

The threads regarding the name all devolve into name calling and racial slurs being thrown about constantly, which as you all know, is against the rules of the sub.

It's a political topic, and politics are not discussed in r/NFL. Again, as a reminder, if and when the team changes it's name, we will obviously want to have discussion regarding that, but at this time there is no apparent end in sight for this debate.

Due to the above reasons, we will be removing any and all links to it until there are actual comments from the NFL/Redskins regarding a name change, truly significant news, or the subject is dropped for good.

Thanks, and we hope you understand, Mod team

Can't begin to tell you how happy I was.
