lol it takes actual effort to have a s**t take about literally everything on this board. 
 

you understand that actual native Americans find the Commanders’ former name offensive. All natives? No. Most Native Americans? Yes. 
 

it wasn’t a “dumb rebranding” and even if it was, that is not why Snyder is exploring selling the team. 
 

every night i come here and i read something from @Airseven and i think, no one can be that stupid. But you top yourself everyday. 

Sorry I am not informed here. But why do most natives find the Commanders name more offensive? I have a brother in law whole is full blooded native american and he was so pissed when they dropped the name and logo. Mostly the logo he felt the logo looked like a strong native he was more offended by the Cleveland logo

Ok? Maybe I should just keep my personal experiences to my self. Or should I get him to directly email you his paperwork. We are not super close but we do talk football maybe he will do it for me.

Look man, I don’t doubt you. But you don’t see the problem with acting like one person speaks for an entire population of people? I have native friends who would have done awful things if they ever met someone who used the word redskins.

 

honest question, would we ever name a team redskins today? Or the brown Indians like saint bonaventure used to be? Commanders is a dumb name but of all the things to fight, using the term redskins shouldn’t be one imo.

I wasn't trying to be like that at all just sharing my personal experience. Obviously many didn't like the name and logo its well documented.  I'm not fighting for the term sorry if it came across that way that was not my intention. Like I said I was sharing my personal experience maybe I should have framed it better. My bad

No doubt they got word of this a bit ago which spawned the exploration of selling.

 

Good f'n riddance...and the new owner should change the name again.  Offer an exchange program for whomever bought Commanders crap.

Quote

Attorneys general in Virginia and Washington, D.C., also are investigating allegations of financial impropriety.

 

This is very bad for $nyder for it hurts his chances of approval of Loudoun County stadium.

And such a stadium approval will raise potential price.

I appreciate the discussion. World would be better if people could talk out their differences. Have a great day.

Please tell me you understand the Brown ins Brown Indians refers to the color which represents Franciscans and not skin color.  Or do you think that that Scarlet Knights is a slur against scarlet colored people?

I think the confusion here that this name was some injustice demonstrated upon a people despite having a strong proud Native American Logo and that renaming it corrects this huge injustice and everyone is better for it. Nothing changed for Native Americans after this name change, and it certainly didn't make things better.

 

There are just bigger fish to fry but this takes center stage and the spotlight off of actual issues. "Yay we fixed the name now we can go back to ignoring Native American issues" is all it was.

It's funny to me you make a comment like this when you were a total dick to him to start off and he basically apologized and walked away. 

 

You should probably take a look in the mirror and heed your own advice in the future.

The ironic part about the name change is they basically replaced the natives with American military.  Commanders replaced Redskins. 

 

Color scheme makes zero sense with this name now. There should have been 3 options: A leave it as is, B adjust the name to something more universally agreeable but within the same realm (e.g., Warriors), C complete rebrand.

 

But now they have mashed the redskin scheme with a mascot that makes zero sense.  It's a mess.

Maybe there is little need to rely on anecdotes when studies have already been performed?

Franciscan Indians sounds even dumber than the potentially racist interpretation.

It’s was Brown Indians.  Your comment is dumber than

most comments. 

[Nextmanup]

I have NO IDEA how people don't inherently understand that "REDSKIN" is a nasty, derogatory term from what is now a bygone era.

 

Would you enjoy living in Japan and going to a baseball game played by the Osaka Round Eyes?  Or the Yokohama Whities?   LOL

 

Come on people.  

 

The funny thing is, no sports team, ever, gave themselves an Indian-oriented nickname with an intent to be derogatory TO THEMSELVES.

They are ALL meant to celebrate positive virtues about the Indian warrior culture, I guess, or something like that.

 

Ask George Custer and his *entirely* annihilated unit who served under him if the Lakota Indians are tough bastards.

 

Elements of the 101st Airborne Division gave themselves Mohawk haircuts and WAR PAINT face treatments on June 5, 1944, prior to making their drops in the early hours of the 6th on D-Day.  Why would they do that?  Because they were *real* warriors about to go into battle, and they were trying to tap into that native American warrior mojo.  I personally find this to be one of the coolest things I have read about in the context of WWII.  Makes me proud to be an American.  

 

Were they doing this to "mock" Indians or themselves?  Hell no!  It was a celebration.  

 

And there are actual accountings of Germans being scared when they ran into these guys in the dark!  They were kind of spooked by them.  

 

It's just that "red skin" was almost uniquely derogatory among those Indian-based sports nicknames and it should have gone.

That insult might have had more impact if it hadn't been articulated like a simpleton.  Go Brown Because Its Franciscan And NOT Skin Color Even Though Indians Are Brown Indians!!!!!  Rolls right off the tongue.

Nothing about your personal experience bothers me in any way.  Try again.
