I agree. Just thought the article was interesting. I don't remember seeing any Native American organization so adamant about keeping or bringing back the Redskins name.

The whole thing seems off. Where was this coalition a few years ago? Why are they only surfacing now?

Just win games. Can we do that for a change?

That organization - NAGA - seems suspect to me. Where were they when everyone was raising hell about the name?

I agree with whoever said Harris needs to quash this. Maybe they're open to a change but Redskins is gone and it's not coming back.

They are such a facade. Just some weird right wing lot formed in 2017 posing as native Americans.

Lol. I knew you were Eunice Davidson!

Seriously am I to believe that a bunch of Native Americans got together in 2017 to rail against racist white woke cancel culture? That is so absolutely convoluted that there has to be people behind it just looking to make it seem like up is down and black is white.

It is now racist to not say Redskin? Ok. We changed the name to hurt Native Americans? Lol. Slaughter them, steal their land, minimize them - BUT DONT YOU DARE STOP CALLING THEM REDSKINS!

The irony of being sued for not using the Redskins name is pretty funny. This lawsuit isn't going fucking anywhere. I hope that they don't settle or anything. Go to court and get this shit tossed out. Try to get the legal fees paid for too.

There is no requirement that a team has to be named a specific thing. The name could have been changed just because they wanted to change it for fun.

Exactly. There is nothing but political motivation behind this whole thing. And Meks woke is not a joke. It is being misrepresented by the far right. There is no joke about an "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".

Nah they actually are Native Americans or at least some are. 4 NAs Redskins fans approached me (was wearing Skins gear) that work at the Casino Del Sol and one of them said she joined that group. They were all pissed about the multiple name and logo changes that occurred in 2020 saying it was a bunch of white assholes saying what is good for them. That said NAGA do have/had a MAGA NA running their twitter who undermined their efforts.

Im aware. She is a nut bag. Also of all the things NA’s have to be pissed about it is the name of a football team? Something off about that.

Edit: did not mean to say there are no NA’s. I worded that poorly. What I meant is that it is being controlled by the far right. They are using NA’s to make it seem like the moral injustice is coming from the “woke” crowd. Again up is down and black is white.

Anyway probably straying into politics although I think that it is completely tied into all this. But, anyway, change the name. Commanders isn’t growing on me. I still cannot say it to friends or family. I just say Washington.

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!
