Agree Irish. I am not even sure why we need to continue with a Native American branding

Seriously, clean slate, move the F away from all this mess so nobody can bother us again about the name.

And let the fight song die too if need be. Hail to anything other than Redskins is going to sound dumb and out of place anyway. Let it all go and turn the page.

Not a surprise based on what we have heard and knowing how Dan wants to keep the NA imagery. Matty suggested Revolution. I liked that fitting for a Nation's capital based on citizen dissent.

Matty, I can understand why you feel this way and it's the easiest way out. I hate, HATE that they are forcing this name change and for all the wrong reasons. Personally, I hope Snyder decides to pick a name and logo that still honors Native Americans and keeps some semblance of the colors and logos that most of us have grown up cherishing. Because of liking the Redskins as a young kid, I read books and researched more about Native Americans than I ever would have if not for them, and I guarantee I'm not alone with that. So again, just my opinion...but I hope Snyder doesn't go all PC and pick something generic just to appease the masses. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!

Why keep honoring a group that doesn't want to be honored? Just get out of this NA business entirely.

And why not the Washington Burgundy & Gold?
That's who we are after all...

I just want us to stay far away from anything regarding politics and REALLY far from anything regarding race/skin color. Wouldn't it be a little disingenuous to suddenly change to something because you got pressure to? Would hate to "back into" doing something respectable. If you're going to do it, do it because you want to, not because you were pressured to.

Absolutely. Keeping any NA imagery or name reference means someone (NA or not) will find a reason to be upset. If they are going to make a change change it all the way.

Revolution is a good name but the New England's MLS team already took that name. If they could steal a team name I'd love to see them called the "Go-Go" after DC's music but there already a basketball team in DC called the Go-Go.

Something else to consider since the nickname is being changed...could Snyder use this to get a new stadium venue. If Virginia wanted the team, deal could be made to change the name to the Virginia _________ if they outbid DC. Since ALL of this is just about money anyway, I'd drag this out if I were Snyder to get the best deal...especially with the minority owners also possibly wanting out, he may try to do anything to save his stake in the ownership.
