Come up with a new name for the Redskins

WFT does not keep the name unofficially. It became a new lackluster name that does nothing. You can't cajole it into the Redskins and you can't build an identity around it. It's just a stupid and lazy long term answer by the team if they go with it (which I doubt they will unless the team wins the superbowl in which case it a name of destiny)

WFT "does nothing (your words)" - if it does nothing people will default to the previous name, which is exactly what they did last year and will continue to do this year. They are still the Redskins until an actual name is picked (And since I believe Snyder is thinking along these lines as well, you may have to get used to it long term).

Washington Redskins

So what happens now when the team scores a TD? Are we at least going to play HTTR w/out the lyrics? I'm sure if we do there will be a massive backlash from all the sensitive crybabies and the league will fine Snyder millions... lol.

HTTR lyrics can easily be rewritten to not use the word redskins.

I know very few people that defaulted to the original name, even smaller amount outside of WFT fans. I also don't understand the logic that this is Snyder's game plan. What does he have to gain from a handful of people still calling them the Redskins? It definitely does not add any merchandise revenue any more.

Come on let's be real - those singing in the stands will ignore any rewrites and go with the original.

Ditch the song as far as I'm concerned that died with the name. Time to move on.

Odd when this subject was broached (Usually due to something I was wearing or if I was at a place watching a game) just about everyone I've run across (mainly strangers to me) stated they still call them the Redskins (this included other team fans - especially those from the NFC East).

Not sure that is entirely accurate - as the name doesn't seem to have died. It may yet depending on what the team decides to settle on.

The name is officially gone. People can still call them the Redskins, but that's not the name despite how much fuss anyone puts up.

Well there is no disputing that it is officially gone. But I don't think that makes it dead. It's dejure verus defacto at this point.
