I'm as big of a fan as anyone but I'm not dressing up like an indian chief and going to a game...

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

i like Redtails.

redwolves not so much

For the record a Red Wolf is kind of a pussy wolf; its between a gray wolf and a coyote.

I like Washington Senators; it be cool to bring that back to DC.

Some of our local or once local journalists are the worst (I am talking to you Wilbon!. Milloy!).

The latter wrote a column and started it by saying he had been to dozens of Redskins games, often as a guest in the owner's box. He cheered and whooped it up with the best of them. But now he realized how incredibly cruel the name is!

Seems to me if it was ever that egregious, he would not have been a fan at in the first place.

The Redskins were Native America's team (They were by far the most popular team in that community according to the WPs polling). And fools like these took it away from them. They say they listened to the NA community - nothing could be farther from the truth (91% ignored).

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

It’s because evidently Anyone who ever loved the redskins (millions of fans worldwide of every Race , creed etc) really did not know we were all Racist at heart … 🙄… it took a very small group of Woke individuals to wake the rest of us up … hmmmm ..that is what they would like us to believe .. I ain’t buying ! Truth is it’s a movement that for now they are winning and as we saw with Cleveland other teams will cave .. what Nobody has yet to tell me is this … Is using the word Indian wrong ?? Yes or no is the word Indian a slur? Maybe the dictionary needs to be updated and a lot of words need to be banned … let’s just ban and tear down and sweep under the rug anything that somebody else could deem offensive.. it’s over and I’m cool with new name whatever but if you think this really changed anything ..there is a long list of teams now who need to change their name, look , image … even names of cities, towns counties need to be looked at .. even people’s names need to be looked at .. and to think that just about everyone that is a member of this forum for years held the redskins close to heart and finally woke up 😳.. is the word Indian a slur ?

I’ll try to find the article….but UW Madison took a huge black rock off campus because someone complained because they heard a rumor that 175 years ago a few people called it n*** rock and they were offended. So rocks are racist too and cause people emotional harm. 🤦*♂️

So what do you say to the Natives who are fans of the team because of the name and the logo and they say yes this is us. We are red skinned people. That’s how we were created. And yes I have had this happen. Every Native American I’ve met is a fan of the team because of the old name and logo.
