Mr. WEO Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Beast said: I giess today's news that the Redskins are now considering a name change was from all those private citizen complaints and editorials and not from yesterday's threats! What a coincidence, huh? LOL The point was there has been severe pressure for a very long time for that name change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) I offer up the alternative name of the DC Liberals. It'll be a hoot. Seriously though this is long overdue, I think there are many, many simple name changes as many have stated. Edited July 3, 2020 by D. L.

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. When the came for Aunt Jemima, how bad of a day was that for you?

If the other owners feel he needs to change the name he will do it. The name is really a marketing icon. The money will talk, the NFL likely doesn't have the juice to force Snyder to act. However, the dollars might, but then again a billionaire like Snyder might just retain the name as an in your face responce to pressure. Or maybe move the team and start over elsewhere, no loss of face changing the name then. Anybody know a city that would like an NFL franchise? I can think of a few......not all in the USA.

Something like that seems most likely that way they don't have to change the entire theme of the team. I'm still partial to Gators or Swamp Gators since it's in D.C.

The world is just going to get more and more confusing for you every day, old timer. Not sorry. Watching the emotionally frail caterwaul over the fact that society always has and always will continue to evolve and become more liberal is rapidly becoming one of my favorite hobbies now that there are no sports to watch.

Are the KC Chiefs next? Atlanta Braves? the list of Indian names goes on and on. It's not about "Indian names." It's about the derogatory term "Redskins" used for Native Americans. I'm pretty sure it's the only Indian reference in the world of sports that creates this problem. I've read and listened to several Native American speakers on the topic and the only nickname they were concerned with was "Redskins." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
