As of now, the state of Texas allows 50 percent capacity for sporting events. Jerruh!!! Also, it’s amazing seeing “Washington Football Team” actually used in an article from a major news source.

Pretty sure it has something to do with the guy that trademarked all of the possible names the Redskins could have possibly switched too. That and the fact Snyder always seems to be in the middle of some kind of ****ery. https://sports.yahoo.com/tons-of-redskins-nickname-options-have-been-trademarked-by-a-guy-in-virginia-154239747.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article that interviewed companies and groups involved with re-naming processes and the biggest take from this was don't rush into anything, and that these types of processes typically take close to a year to decide on a name. And if you do decide much faster than that, you probably didn't do a very good job of thinking through it carefully was what I got out of this article.

CNYfan Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 There was an African American referee who announced a few years back, when the last time the race sensitivity thing came up with Wash, who stated that throughout his career he had never used the pejorative on his microphone when announcing a call. He had always said "The Washington Football Team". Bad with names but built guy, made the gym quite a bit. There was also a writer a decade back who referred to the WFT as "The Potomac River Basin Indigenous Persons.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
