Redskins "Name Change" Volume 10000000

I know of two of them.

Red Mesa High School which is on a Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. And Wellpinit High School which is on a Spokan Indian Reservation in Washington. Both of them chose Redskins as their mascot, and they were both named by the Indians of the Reservation.

Another thing about the name. When are people going to ask for the State of Oklahoma to change its name? It is a Choctaw Indian word that means "People with Red Skin" or some translate it as "Red People".

Good stuff. That is very interesting.

I can't see them changing the name without changing the logo. It's not like the Braves and Indians don't also have protesters and people calling for them to rebrand, and if we are forced to change they will surely be next.

The thing is, the Indians calling for name change are targeting all of them. That goes beyond the Indians and Braves. As well as those two, They want the Chiefs, Seminoles, Blackhawks, Fighting Illini, Warriors, etc. to change.

Amanda Blackhorse was asked fairly recently why they were, as of now, calling for the Redskins to change but not the others. She said that due to others (read others as non-Indians) speaking out against the Redskins, that they want to get that first name down. But that once Redskins falls, that opens the door for them to attack all other sports names that involves something to do with Indians.

They are ultimately going after them all.

If a name change were to occur, I think it's years away...and would conveniently coincide with a new stadium. I also know it wouldn't make me less of a fan if they did

What would you do with the old one SS ?

I wouldn't be surprised if the team doesn't start to change a lot of it's branding towards "Washington Football" in the short term, while leaving the name for the time being. A lot of the same imaging and theme, but placing the emphasis back on the team name "Washington" rather than the nickname "Redskins".

The problem with the name change argument is the same as all other highly politicized arguments: one side wants you to believe that hardly anyone at all is offended, and the other wants you to believe that the people who are offended are being offended in a life-changing way. Reality of course lies in the middle, but pretty much no one is there to cover the reality.

Well don't tell that to the team, they just redid all the sideline graphics on the walls around the stadium with more pronounced emblems and the redskins name in the classic cursive font. Looks great, I thought it was a big F u to all the haters when I saw it in the preseason.

Name change to the Rednecks, and nobody would ****ing care.

Hopefully this type of feigned racial sensitivity wanes in the near future, or at least it just gets exposed as greed.

the name has only been used in an insulting way in the cowboy movies that Hollywood put out. why don't these gutless coward lawyers go after the movie industry?
