Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

[quote=Monkeydad;1254922]I love the uniforms but I hated those helmets. The whole NFL had inaccurate "fauxbacks" that season. It was for the NFL's 75th anniversary.

Then again, maybe I just hate them because of Health Shuler.

Hmmm... I recalled them differently, but it was a long time ago. Yea the helmets need work.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

What about using the 80th Anniversary Unis w/o the logo on the shoulder. Maybe a spear?

I know why conservatives have such a hard-on for the american flag, it's because they need it to remind them who won the civil war.

This is the only throwback I endorse. Loved the brown leather helmet look and the NFL just announced they got rid of that "one helmet" rule that was holding teams back from using alternate helmets.

Really hope we can keep these throwbacks but I doubt it just because of the Redskins logo.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

[quote=Monkeydad;1254920]You nailed it. We're becoming the 76ers, with a Betsy Ross flag on the helmet!

I'd love a gold helmet with the Gadsden Flag snake on it.


Maybe Dan's going this route. No one has mentioned how a Jewish business owner's getting targeted by white liberals here...

if you went with the Star of David .... youd offend the right wing nationalist conservatives.




(am i playing the game right? just make wild attacks on political parties that have nothing to do with the Redskins name change?)



You all making this place a cess pool. Every thread you are sidetracking with your drive-by political crap. Can you keep your political nut job comments to one thread, since keeping them in the political thread is just to much to ask .. or would that be somehow liberal media censoring you?

Just swap for a Redskins 'R' or TV numbers.

Dude it was a joke...much like all of this "your pancake syrup is racist!" crap.

Unfortunately, our football team has been turned into a political issue. Keeping the politics out of this discussion is impossible and the fans aren't at fault here.

Exactly. The politics are fine when it’s kneeling for an anthem. It’s not ok to point out the hypocrisy, fake narratives and faux outrage. This whole movement to change the name is based on a lie. I don’t care how Snyder ran the business, it would not have mattered

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Just because the name change is political .. doesnt mean these football forum threads should become a political free-for-all.

The 3 or so name change threads all have evolved into the same crap.

If I wanted to read people pissing political bullshit I could go on reddit or fox news.

Im not trying to read "liberal media bad whaaa whaaa" in every thread in the football forum.

A handful of yall are hijacking this forum with your repetitive whining right wing bullshit.

Yall may be ruining this site for others just by the non-stop repeated same old tired tripe complaints. We heard on you on page 2 .. why repeat the same shit on page 4?

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Yeah I agree with Sunny, it may be a fair reason why the name is changing but this is a football forum. No need to get political and fight over something we all have no control over lol. It's already happening all over twitter

Agreed, especially since the name change has happened.

I don't have a problem people reminiscing about the old name, sharing memories, and talking about what the name meant to them.

But continuing to b*tch about it, whining about it, and spewing hateful shit is getting old.

WTH does Kaep have to do with the name change?

WTH does Michelle Obama have to do with the name change?


Act like an adult who is capable of having an adult discussion, which includes self restraint to closely stick to the discussion at hand, knowing that political discussions can quickly unravel in rabble rousing if we begin to engage in "whataboutism" and the many many other political detours that often plague political threads on the internet.

We all should be more consciously aware and self-limiting when wading these waters.

Unfortunately he's right. As much as I don't want politics in my football, it's in this right here. If George Floyd wasn't murdered, the Redskins are still the Redskins today and the foreseeable future.
