I never stopped calling them the redskins. I’m sure a lot of people didn’t. That’s probably why they are changing back. Us assholes wouldn’t let the culture change us for such stupid reasons. Congrats to the Blackfeet Nation, they will soon have their classic and timeless image restored to one of the most historic nfl franchises.

for the ten thousandth time. Warriors and the old helmet with the spear or better yet, this logo was just too damn logical.

it don't matter to me, they all stink in our Nations Capitol. Blind leading the blind and nobody has a single finger in anyones belt loop.

Call them the Washington bureaucrats. And they win every game 3 weeks after the game is over by finding more points as time goes on.

Damn, that sounds like a fantastic idea.

We’d have to keep an eye on the patriots though. They might get sick of losing to Washington and storm northwest stadium.

The original name was problematic. It invited criticism and claims of racism, whether real or imaginary. Changing the name was an admittance that the name was a problem. The current name and logo is bland. By all means change it for something better, but reverting back to the original problem name would be dumb. At this point Washington Blackfeet would be better than Washington Redskins, but that would clearly be problematic.

Exactly.
I still call Marquette the Warriors and Cleveland's baseball team as the Indians.

I still say San Diego Chargers and LA Raiders sometimes.

And usually say WWF.

Old habits die hard. Hail to the Football Team.

the name was only problematic to those that werent Native American.
It is like being non latino & claiming their language was wrong & "problematic"Their Arrogance & stupidity decided the language should be changed. Like Latinx.

The Name Redskins should have never been changed. Funny how people not of a race can claim racism for that race.

Regardless of who the name was or wasn't an issue for, it has been an issue going back at least as far as when I started watching in 1983/4. Regardless of whether it should or shouldn't have been changed, it was changed. Changing the name back now would be dumb. It would be like rescinding an apology for historical wrong-doing. Pick another identity for the franchise and move on.
