Name change
 

I saw that the Washington Post was asking a readers poll this question, so I thought I might ask the same question here...

IS IT TIME TO CHANGE THE NAME?


I am in favor of changing the name. For racist reasons above all and secondly Dan Snyder's 'Redskins' don't deserve to be named after native americans or prestigious franchises of the past...

Let's change the name or sell or move the team. Bring back the name DIPS! That is what we are... Deion, Spurrier, Haynesworth, McNabb...

Re: Name change
 

I'm against it simply because a new name doesn't promote winning ways. Besides it's likely that the new name would not be original or cool. Bullets/Wizards?

Re: Name change
 

I dont care either way about the name but its only a matter of time before the name is changed.

I saw this yesterday and I know it is not a popular idea to tamper with history. I'm not even interested in the poll results.

I hate the times between the Super Bowl and the beginning of FA and after the draft until training camp.....

Re: Name change
 

The name is never gonna change. Kind of a waste of conversation really.

Re: Name change
 

The logo on the helmet will change before the name ever does. I'm not sure either will any time soon.

Re: Name change
 

There will continue to be sympathizers but, it's not likely to happen anytime soon.

The name and logo hasn't changed yet, so why would it now?? I'm all for adjusting the logo but don't mess with the name.

Re: Name change
 

The name isn't changing and neither are the uniforms. Next topic.

Re: Name change
 

.............no................

Re: Name change
 

I'd change it back to the Braves

Re: Name change
 

absolutely not, ever.


don't care about racism, offending anyone, nothing. i mean i do generally as a human being, but this is my FOOTBALL TEAM we are talking about here. c'mon son!


on a related note, i pray leonsis brings back the bullets. at least the old color scheme. "wizards" was always corny (although sadly the best name in the contest) IMO, and most of their gear is hideous...unwearable except to a game.
