JMF2006 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I wonder if it will be the Generals ?

st pete gogolak Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Pretty sure that historically, Washington was the most racist franchise in the NFL, aside from the Redskins nickname (racist owner George Preston Marshall, last team to integrate, etc.). I honesty believe a great nickname (although I admit WFT kind of grows on you) would be the Redtails to honor the WWII Tuskegee Airmen. It would be a way to make amends in a small way. 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I am not a fan of the Washington Football Team name, glad to see the team getting an actual name. I'll be interested to see what they've come up with, but I think it's time to turn the page. Good luck to them in the future! (Except for when they play the Bills). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I've heard rumors that the name "Red Wolves" is a strong candidate as well as "Commanders". I'm not crazy about Red Wolves but I've seen some uniform mock ups for Commanders and it actually looks kinda' cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two out of two million? Please do your research and use your God given brain? Two drunken Irishmen can sue Notre Dame to change there name, even though 99% approve. https://www.washingtonian.com/2020/02/21/a-new-study-contradicts-a-washington-post-poll-about-how-native-americans-view-the-redskins-name/ In this study 1000 Native Americans were interviewed, half were offended by the Redskins name. Last time I checked 500 was more than 2 and 50% was more than 1%. Furthermore, being of Irish descent, I’m offended by your propagation of an Irish stereotype. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you very well could be right - apparently red wolves is out as of today: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington?cid=MSN Edit: it’s due to trademark issues with securing “Wolves” or any variation of it.
