Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I will NOT move on. You’re a piece of shit thinking that you can dictate to others how to feel and what to think over an issue. You a fucking loser to say “just get over it and for what I say. Fuck you and everyone one this board. I’m out.

Why are you dumping the board when it is apparent that most posters here agree with you?

Missouri,

You where very indifferent to the feelings of a NA teenager about three hours ago about something far more upsetting than Cred telling you to get over it. Don't be upset when you were ok with treating others that way earlier. Do what you need call them Redskins, wear the gear, but Cred is right and as far as I could see no personal attack.

You haven't posted a lot but been here for awhile you probably know that two years ago you would be hard pressed to find someone say it was time to move on. I think most of us would have been more than okay with keeping the name but at this point just want the band aid ripped off.

Oh I'm fairly positive a huge chunk of the home crowd will be wearing Redskins gear for years to come (Unless of course the team bans it which I seriously doubt happens).

I am not talking about wearing the gear, I have lots of jerseys and gear I will wear. I am talking about actively rejecting whatever the new team name and brand will be. I am talking about complaining about the woke instead of supporting the team in its current and future form. Obviously, the jerseys and legacy of the Redskins will always be a part of the team history. This isn't Cleveland becoming the Ravens or Colts moving to Indy. Our team's history is an awesome story and the SB's will stand etched with the Redskins name forever.

Saying someone is wearing a Redskins jersey to honor Native Americans is as ludicrous as the woke statement that Redskins was a slur against them. The Redskins were a football team, changed from the Braves when they moved to Washington. The whole sanctimonious claptrap is just ridiculous.

2 years ago I wanted to keep the name, 1 year 2 months ago I wanted to keep the name. Once it was clear that they weren't going to - it's time to move on.

Tell the Natives who supported the name and took it as a source of pride that it was “just a logo”. Every Native I know supported the name and the logo and are angry and heartbroken it’s gone. I wear the logo for them.

See this just comes across bad. It comes across like you're a leading expert on NA opinions of the name.

Every Native American I know (which is none) aren't pro-or-against the name. I just have to go by what I see in the media. And I see plenty of the woke mob hating against the name, and I also see polls saying 90% of NA's don't care about the name.

In the end, I move on.

I will NOT move on. You’re a piece of shit thinking that you can dictate to others how to feel and what to think over an issue. You a fucking loser to say “just get over it and for what I say. Fuck you and everyone one this board. I’m out.

This is where you draw the line? Terrible.

I respectfully submit that you are being unfairly dismissive.

If all a fan has ever known is the Snyder era, it does not make much of a difference. A rose by any other name is just as sweet and a shoddily run franchise with a new name is just as shoddy.

If you are older (me for example), this requires jettisoning a great deal of history that was seen first hand. I have seen the Skins in 5 Super Bowls and numerous playoff appearances. The franchise has basically had 3 periods of glory and I was there for 2 of them.

It's not being a caveman to regret that all of this will either be forgotten or have an asterisk placed next to it. Sentiment, Pride, Nostalgia, etc are not the attributes of cavemen, MTK. Quite the opposite actually.

And of course there will be a lingering sense of grievance that this was unjustified and forced on us.

May the caveman ask why you are so cool with it? Why are you seemingly happy that this happened to us?

I’ve been a loyal fan since I was 10 in 1982. Nobody is erasing the history of this team, it’s all still there, it happened. But times change and here we are facing a new era. I’m excited about the future and will always be proud of the past.

The caveman reference is more about the fans that aren’t going to accept the change under any circumstance.

I will NOT move on. You’re a piece of shit thinking that you can dictate to others how to feel and what to think over an issue. You a fucking loser to say “just get over it and for what I say. Fuck you and everyone one this board. I’m out.

Well this escalated quickly and was totally unnecessary

I totally understand peoples emotional connection to the team and it’s past glory. It’s part of fandom, their childhood…it’s nostalgic and makes them feel good. I understand how it can feel like some of that is being taken away. I get that perspective and I’m fine with it. Where your skins stuff, wave the redskins banner, shit, sing HTTR loud and proud

But I also totally understand and accept things change and the team has moved on. The team has been terrible for 20 years…it’s time for something new. Change name and let’s get it on. Younger generation don’t remember the past glory so maybe it’s time to start a new legacy? I understand that as well.

I think both sides should accept both views and just respect it. Neither is incorrect
