When the stadium sponsor threatens to pull the stadium sponsorship over your team's name, you do stupid things.

They should’ve just let ‘em pull it and not had a sponsor name on the stadium. Don’t need the $$ anyway.

Seriously, quit waffling and commit Washington.

They should take a name out of their history:

• Last team to integrate under pressure from Kennedy Admiration

  • "We’ll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites."

    • George P. Marshall

  • He capitalized on segregation building a network of TV stations in the south.

  • Interior Stewart Udall forced issue saying new stadium on public land might not be available.

• Took money out of proceeds to raise money for war widows and orphans (Fight for Old DC: George Preston Marshall, the Integration of the Washington Redskins, and the Rise of a New NFL)
• Front office sexually harasser staff
• Only team to charge admission for practices which allowed opposition teams to send scouts and cameras.

For what its worth, I have cousins who are half Oglala Lakota (Sioux).  My uncle married a "full blood" registered tribe member.

They didnt stay up nights worrying about the name Redskins, but they didnt like it.

How about the Washington Redcoats? no? Is that politically incorrect too?

I'm one of those who does not think the name is derogatory. It was a classic logo. No one names a team after a group that is not embraced as valuable. Why do that? But if it is too volatile an issue, going back to Washington Football Team isn't a bad fall back. I started to like it once I got used to it.

 

Have you ever been told what "Redskin" refers to?

 

I'll wait...

Come up with something you can actually use as a logo on the side of the helmet & not just a letter...

 

What even is a "Commander?" Are they all just 53 people of the same military rank? Lame! It's so boring they basically just kept the WFT logo. At least when Washington's other team had to change their name, they got creative with it & went with "Wizards" 😆

I always thought instead of naming themselves the commanders they should have named themselves the commandos.

 

Like what we have to do Monday morning if we don't do any laundry sunday

That was the name of DC’s Arena League team back in the day

I was also a fan of the Football Team name.  Felt old school and subversively unique.

There's already a professional football team called that.  There's been two, at once...

Red Tails for the fighter plane unit or Red Wolves just because.

Wouldn't the front office check on something like this before changing the name? Oh, that's right. It's a Dan Snyder run team.

 

 

 

From the article you linked:

 

"Gerben believes the team will eventually be able to use the name. The separate question is whether new ownership will want to. The best move could be to make a clean break from All Things Snyder, and a full rebrand could be part of that effort."

 

Your topic title is some combination of The New York Post... and modern clickbait practices.

 

 

But yes, let's take the easiest target in the NFL and make sport of him because everyone else does.
