By "hypocrisy" you mean that they don't really care about Indians but still support the name change?

That is a piece of it.

If the team has to change its name, the only result I would respect is dropping the Native American theme completely. Why keep that theme and continue to expose ourselves to the inevitable NEXT round of political correctness?

Until then, HTTR.

I agree about the hypocrisy coming from the change-the-name camp. It is easy to find outraged netizens who otherwise couldn't give a fig about Indians.

But there is hypocrisy in the keep-the-name camp, too. Some Skins fans claim that the name honors Indians, yet these same people show no more concern for the real plight of real Indians than the change-the-name hypocrites. If Skins fans don't truly honor Indians, what right do they have to support keeping the name for the sake of honoring Indians?

Sadly there is a lot of hypocrisy on both sides.

There is but aren't there indian reservations out there that use the name Redskins for their HS teams? No one has given me a legitimate reason for the name to change. Also, comparing it to the N word is kinda stupid imo.

I don't care about them.

There are few things that would cause me to turn in my fan card. Renaming them the Rebels would be one of those things.

Pffffttttt....
Snyder is not going to name them The Rebels or the Warriors or anything close to being Indian related.
The Redskins are a prominent business/company/team/employer.
Snyder has been enduring a ton of crap about the name this year.
I'm sure hes fed up.
The new name is going to be something very neutral and very approachable and totally noncontroversial.

So over all this bullshit

I hope Snyder sues the ever living s outta this guy, if possible. And to top it off the jackass is a cowboys fan too.

My mind says that's way over the line and wrong, as calling someone a racist is only a step or two below declaring someone a wife beater, but not unlike watching a video of a bully getting his butt kicked I find it hard to muster up any sympathy for a guy that has abused the legal system with numerous frivolous lawsuits.

Wow!

I agree that Danny should sue!

Just for the record, after all of the debate I have heard and read, I feel that I too am in the third camp. I too do not want to see the team name changed, and I don't really see the name as racist or derogatory, but I do agree that there is way too much bad press, and that the name will have to change at some point in the near future.

My only hope is that the team can retain the colors and theme.

As for a replacement name, I would vote for...

Washington Warriors

Also, whether or not the name is changed, I would suggest that the team go back to the logo that was used in the '60's, and during the 70th Anniversary season....
