[quote=skinsfaninok;1253730]Redhawks, Tails , are garbage names!

The "Warriors" is the best route to keep the colors and logo going.. Maybe even braves.[/quote]

They were originally the Boston Braves so going back to Braves is a lesser evil. Redtails/Warriors is forcing it....But keep Redskins and tell FedEX to piss off

Send the suggestion to DS. Send the suggestion to Skins reporters. Stake a claim!!

I'll support you getting royalties if it comes to it!

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue
 

It’s not going to be anything Native American related. The Indians, Braves, Chiefs and Blackhawks are all next on the chopping block.

What the hell is going on in this country it sickens me to even turn on the tv anymore and now it’s come to changing the name of a sports team everyone needs to grow some thick skin and get out and work and then come home and watch the REDSKINS!!!!

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue
 

What really needs to happen is Snyder to move the team and let fedex do whatever they want with the shit stadium holly he’ll.

[quote=punch it in;1253716]How do you agree and than point out the fact that he is wrong? We all grew up REDSKINS fans. It sucks that we need to come to this conclusion but it is the right conclusion. 10-20 percent agree because the other 80 fall into the black man using the n word category. If you walked onto any reservation USA tomorrow you would never say yo redskin where is the bathroom? It has racist roots. Plain n simple. Do we as fans mean it in a racist way? No. Not a single one. But again if i started a team tomorrow called the yellow skins with an asian guy as the emblem you would be like dude are u crazy? I think we all just chalk “indians” up to some ancient past that is harmless but it is bigger than that.[/quote]

If I walked onto a reservation and 8 out of 10 Native Americans said they didn't give a shit or supported the name and 2 didn't like it, I would keep on keepin' on. There's always going to be people offended by something. Should we stop killing and eating animals because PETA is offended? When [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/new-poll-finds-9-in-10-native-americans-arent-offended-by-redskins-name/2016/05/18/3ea11cfa-161a-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html"]8 out of 10 people who identify as Native American aren't offended[/URL], that was good enough for me. That's no longer the case. Now it's 20% of Native Americans, the entire Democratic party, District and federal officials who own RFK, and Fedex, Nike, and $620 billion worth of corporate money backing them. It's now overwhelmingly negative, and as such an announcement will be coming soon. I'm not gonna tweak about it when it's gone, and I'm not denying up until March, there was a small group of Native Americans offended by the name. But you're not gonna get an apology out of me either for supporting the name up until now.

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue
 

Stupidity continues. Weak shit.

When shit is going so damn good...you start tear apart from the inside. Sports teams names...that’s where we are at. Actually hear people try to rationalize Columbus statues been attacked...it’s laughable the piece of shit people we are producing. Soft

Redskins isn’t derogatory...if it was, been generations ago.

From what I’m told, words and symbols change...redskins means only the professional football team in Washington DC...nothing derogatory at all.

[quote=punch it in;1253708]Really chief? Lol. Again just because you have never heard redskin used as a derogatory name doesn’t mean it wasn’t. And how in the hell is chief used in a derogatory way? I mean come on man. Redskin is cool chief is racist? U could be 166 and i would call bullshit on that.
Only you could make this political. Lol. If Trump tweeted change the name tomorrow morning you would be farting epiphanies.[/quote]

Yes, chief is used as a derogatory slur. In fact, that is the only term I have ever heard used in a derogatory manner towards a Native American in real life. Hard to figure where you have been all your life if you haven't heard the term "chief" used in a sarcastic and belittling manner. In old movies you would hear "savages", but I've never heard that in real life. In more recent movies, it's "chief." I am not a Trump supporter. Where on earth did you get that? Good grief, I'm not being political at all. I am sharing what I have witnessed. So, are you claiming that you have actually heard someone derogatorily refer to a Native American as a redskin? Really? I would definitely call bs on that. Go ahead and pretend that I'm being political again. That seems to be your schtick.

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue
 

Punch came here today to celebrate the name change..FFS

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue
 

The main thing that has changed for Dan Snyder is that they are hitting him in his pocket book. I just don’t think this is going to go away.

Make the change and publicize it about the “new team”. New narrative, forget about the last 20 years. I seriously doubt they will stay in the Native American genre.

I think in the end there are three big possibilities:

1. Red Tails - cool story, keep fight song, honors a military unit and military

2. Warrior - I think this is sort of boring but Snyder owns the name

3. Red Hawk - can’t go wrong with another bird in the NFL. Fight song the same
