mushypeaches Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 In all seriousness, can you imagine actually being a fan of this team? Racially offensive nickname Greediest, most corporately soulless owner on the planet (and that's saying a lot) Incompetent management at all levels Next to no history of winning over the last 25+ years Terrible ridiculous overpriced stadium experience Located in possibly the worst place to live in the entire country Dwayne Haskins is your QB Hired Retread Riverboat Ron Rivera Zero hope for future improvement 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly haven’t driven deep through a reservation lately. also; https://indiancountrytoday.com/archive/dakota-man-exposes-vile-history-of-redskins-tNK0J1kxGkOao8FaHk4a7w “Redskin” was an expression for Native skins traded in to collect bounties. It’s a sick word with even worse connotation. A nation of people literally treated like animals. There is no equating to “Chiefs” or “Seminoles” whatsoever, no matter how you try to justify it.

dakrider Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The Washington Redskins have a long and proud history imo. The name wasn't meant to be disparaging, they wouldn't name their own team something they thought was nasty or mean. But it isn't a good name, it wouldn't be considered acceptable to call American Indians as Redskins. Right? Not now or before really. So regardless if the name wasn't meant to be disparaging, it still is when taken by itself. Really the the bad thing about changing a team name/mascot is they usually end up picking something nobody is really happy with. Bullets to Wizards? meh.

Sargent Hulka Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 If we're truly talking about that which is offensive to Native American sensibilities what about "Buffalo Bill"? Here was a man who helped decimate the food supply of Native Americans, allegedly killing over 4000 bison in 18 months to feed Union Pacific railroad workers, which itself helped push the manifest destiny of removing Native Americans from their ancestral lands. Yes, I find Buffalo Bills just as offensive as Redskins. It too needs to be changed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Long overdue. I grew up near and currently live in the D.C. metropolitan area and remember Native Americans protesting the name back when Cooke was still the owner. I pay zero attention to those who oppose the name change. You're wrong. That's the end of it. I've always thought that Washington Warriors had a nice ring to it. Red Tails, as mentioned on page 1, is a great name too. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) I found this: Interesting. I think this name change would tie in with history and be an easy off the tongue football moniker "Washington Warriors" Quote When owner Daniel Synder was in the early stages of setting up an arena football team in Washington, he trademarked "Warriors" with an arrow logo. The league would later go under, and the Redskins would use the spear logo in 2002. Dave McKenna of the Washington City Paper outlined that history: Snyder bought the DC franchise rights for the AFL shortly after taking over the Redskins. He said back then that he was going to name the indoor team the Warriors, and registered trademarks for that name and for an arrow-and-feather logo and helmet design. If the Redskins were forced to change, wouldn't "Warriors" be another easy switch? The logo wouldn't have to change drastically, nor would the colors. Just the name. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1528090-if-washington-redskins-must-change-team-name-whats-the-best-fit 3 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: Long overdue.

Heck our beloved Buffalo Bills (ya know named after Buffalo Bill Cody) should be questioned in all this ruckus. In other words,, should the Bills change their name due to Buffalo Bill Cody’s racist behavior as a gesture of apology to all Native Americans and other U.S. citizens? After all, Buffalo Bill was an Indian (Native American) fighter, assisting in systematically committing genocide against the indigenous inhabitants....just sayin'! NOW I personally don't believe we should but you can see the long slippery slope we get into. My only hope is that people at least be consistent with their "cancel culture" herd mentality and not cherry pick and choose. I don't know the Bills are named for that historical person. Your source of that trivia, please. I have lived in WNY for more than 70 years, that is news to me, a lifelong Bills fan. I suspect you made that up, actually. (I was born before the original Bills which existed in the late 40's, name was readopted in 1960 when the AFL was formed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shocks me is for awhile I lived in an Eastern suburb of Tampa, called Brandon who don’t know FL that well. There is some private citizen as you exit I-4 to start south on I-75, the largest confederate flag I’ve ever seen and it’s repulsive. It’s not far from the Floridians on the board by the State Fairgrounds. I just can’t believe there is not some ordinance the city council etc. to force them to take it down. It is on a flag pole hundreds of feet high, and larger than any of the American flags in the area. Makes me sick and yes, I’m Caucasian. It is just as offensive to me as people of color. All colors. Anyone with any decency should be just as repulsed by not thinking All Lives Matter! All lives do matter, and absolutely nothing about Black Lives Matter challenges that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
