How bout that Josh Harris, huh? Seems like a guy that gets it.
Just as a reminder, this is a Josh Harris thread, not a Redskins name discussion thread [politics are absolutely a part of it, another reason to let it go here]. No point of this getting further down the rabbit hole, for a thing that's already done. The name is gone. It's not coming back.
Washington [insert non-Redskins/Commanders name here] playing football at the site of RFK, is football porn. That will be the 2nd best thing to happen to all of us outside of Harris taking over the team.
Yay Josh! He's Magic! He's off the Rales!

Oh man. Would be all about going back to games if this happened.
Why the Commanders' $6 billion bidding war was one Josh Harris had to win

No matter what happens this season, we've already won.

It will be hard to be happy with that on game day if we lose, but it's absolutely true. And definitely something to tell yourself every Monday morning.

Eunice wasn't the one I met it was a Yaqui in AZ. That said of course they have reason to be mad the non-NA Redskins fans were furious about the change so why shouldn't the NA Redskins fans be as well? And since there were a lot more NA Redskin fans than the 9% of NAs that supported or pushed for the change we now have more angry NAs than we had before over the name.
Oh and yes it was a moral injustice that came from the woke crowd. The name was forced to be changed under an incorrect understanding of the term Redskins how it was used and where it came from, Much of the justification was based on deliberate fabrications or cowardice. An analogy would be a mob hanging an innocent man despite all the evidence showing he was innocent.
Agreed. When I grew up in very rural Northern Michigan in the 80's we had basic television, but only got the Packers and the Lions games. I had some friends that lived at the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community and they had a big old satellite system for the community center. Redskins football was a way of life there, so when the Redskins played, approx. 70% of their community gathered at the community center to watch the game. I was lucky enough to have a standing invitation due to my love of the team and having friends in the community. Everyone there had Redskins gear! If the Redskins lost or someone got injured during the game they flew the Redskins flag and their tribal flag that was right next to it at half mast until the next game day. I know for a fact that most of them are/were extremely pissed about the name change!

Sad really. Those are the stories we don't hear as much. The ones with those stories just aren't as loud as the woke crowd.

This whole topic reminds me of us men discussing abortion. Now we are discussing the true feelings of Native Americans. Lol.
Y’all really gotta let it go.

I think SkinsGuru was simply reminiscing and speaking about what he experienced and witnessed. I think that's fine don't you?

It’s an open forum. People can say whatever they want.
I am saying i think none of us know what the majority of NA’s think and also that talking about the name Redskins is pointless.
I think that is fine and I think what SkinsGuru said is fine. It is the beauty of a discussion.
