I really don't care what the Redskins change their name to. I am referencing their past and what kind of reaction people are going to have when people called them the Redskins. It appears, at least from this thread, it may cause problems for some when they hear that name.

OK, so we won't be able to say the Washington Redskins won three SB Championships in their history without being looked upon as acting out or being a racist? I'll be using the name Redskins while referring to their past because that was their name. In fact, it still is yheir name for the time being. Can we not show highlights of past home Redskins games because it does say Redskins in the endzone? Better burn the videos of SB 26 and a host of other SB games. The history won't be wiped away like a statue you don't like.

Who knows in this day and age. Colonel Sanders has to be on the chopping block.

I asked you a question. Plain and simple. Easy to answer. What is acceptable moving forward when talking about the Washington Redskins past if a name change is made? And what happens if people insist on calling them what their name was?

You’re the one that came in here saying he was wrong. It’s not on bilzfancy’s shoulders to prove your case. I wonder if SI will be forced to burn all copies of this magazine?

It’s not a strawman argument. It’s either a racial slur or it isn’t a racial slur. Do we say, remember the Bills v. Redskins Super Bowl where Andre Reed threw his helmet or is that going to land someone in the Shameville jail?

Why didn’t you include what he said? He said that the word Redskins is the same as using the “N” word. Do you agree with that? If so, have you ever said Redskins? There is no strawman in asking that. None.

Correct. I know a great teacher I am friends with that can help you and others with your issues with that problem.

Oh, I am so happy to know you are under no obligation to answer my question. LMAO! The 5th amendment is alive and well on Two Bills Drive!

Oh really? So, are you in favor of firing each and every person that has ever said Redskins? Have YOU ever said Redskins? I anxiously await your response.

They should run those “protesting”morons over with a tank at Mt. Rushmore. The collective IQ of the nation would rise dramatically.

Have you watched football for the last 35 years? To this day, there are people that slip up and call the Indianapolis Colts the Baltimore Colts. But you failed to answer my question. What should we refer to the Redskins when we talk about their past?

Did they not get rid of that? Is it a cartoon Figure or the name? Liar.

And why do you care if I do or don't care?

Anddddddd....the Cleveland Indians are next! https://www.google.com/amp/s/theathletic.com/1909001/2020/07/03/cleveland-indians-ready-to-discuss-changing-team-name/%3famp Anyone else want to argue my original post? Say goodbye to ANY team that has a nickname derived from Indians. The cancel culture is real.

So, if they do change their name what do we call them when refering to them about their past? Will people start crying and throw tantrums if we say the Redskins were the first opponent the Bills played at Rich Stadium? Will people be looked upon as racists if someone slips up and call them the Redskins? I mean, Redskin appears to be a racial slur so should it now be treated like the N word? Will people lose their jobs if they say that word? And, yes...I am being totally serious about these questions.

One of the best team fight songs will also be cancelled out.

The Washington Skins

Personally, no, I think it's dumb. I hear the name Washington Redskins, and I don't think of a racial slur. I think of that name as a very cool sports team nickname that has years of history. But, I'm obviously not everyone. If people are outraged over it and it gets changed, oh well. I'll still live to see tomorrow.

Again, I do 't know....for the tenth time in this thread, if you don't think the cancel culture is not going after other Indian themed teams, you haven't been paying attention the last month. I'm not saying they will succeed but you can bet your ass those teams are in deck. Watch the Blackhawks logo be under attack by this time next week.

Yeah, whatever.

I've seen some dumb threads in my time and have even authored a couple....but this is the dumbest of them all!

Who knows? I mean, freaking Eskimo pies are changing their name.

You don't understand what this cancel culture is getting their panties in a bunch about. I suggest you get a clue if you think it's stopping with the Redskins. Doubtful. Very doubtful. Ralph Wilson rarely listened to what the league wanted and you think Daniel Snyder will? LMAO Only when it comes to him losing money is when he will listen as has been demonstrated today.

Looks good to me!
