Name Change

[Rowdy]

Warriors will not work. Warpath will not work. Anything Native American related will not work including the spear n feathers helmet. The name change crew has too much power and momentum now.

Minority shareholders are trying sell off their shares of team stock.

Nike has said it will not sell Skins merchandise until a name change occurs.

Its over. The Washington Redskins are dead. The Washington Warriors, Warpath or anything that can even be remotely NA related will never be.


The Washington Warriors

Another name that has been floated is the Washington Warriors, as it would allow the team to keep some similar elements such as the arrow used in some of the team's designs.

However, the name is drawing some backlash on social media.

"Folks tweeting about Washington Warriors with feathers and arrows on the logo missed the whole damn point," Rebecca Nagle posted on Twitter. "Native American cultures and our tribes are real, contemporary, diverse and ALIVE. We are not cartoons. And we are not mascots."

somebody needs to tell these goofy mfr’s a warrior isn’t always associated with an Indian. They can go pound sand. All these fools are doing is really creating hate.

Nobody’s trying to tell you anything, Karen. Settle down.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, though.

If you are so put off by the inevitable than you go right ahead any bury your head in the sand.

Have at it!

Karen, now you know that isn't my name. You are trying to be a dick like you always do with the name calling. Why you have not been banned yet is beyond me. You have certainly been warned enough time about the name calling.

You are the one fucking person I would like to have 5 minutes with. I'd bust your fucking face your pussy.

It is fine if you ban me for this tirade dad. I am tired of this dickhead calling people names.

What is wrong with Warriors? Warriors is not a racist name. Anybody can be a warrior. As far as the helmet goes The Spare logo are on many college and High school football teams. There is no way Nike, Fedex, or Pepsi are going to protest the spear Football helmet or Warrior nickname. We are not disrespecting a skin color here.

See I struggle with this too . I can get behind warriors / braves or a name that links to our history but a total rebrand with Snyder as the owner I am certain I cannot . And even warriors / braves gives me a bit of disappointment although I would give it a go . Does Gary Clark or Joe Jacoby make the HOF now with lessened support ? What about Sean Taylor ? Is he remembered in 5-10 yrs like Sammy Baugh was by a new generation with a team called red tails ? The wizards aren’t the bullets . Ask a young wizards fan about Bobby Dandridge ? Would he know anything about him ? The big E? Gus Williams ? People know riggo, sonny , billy but Willa renegade know them ? That is where I come from

There will certainly be multiple layers. You can add to that the changes to the band, the fight song. It is an organization that has struggled for a long time. A cool new uniform and a team that can win some would certainly help. Whoever mentioned the Caps uniform change to black, blue and gold was right on. It never felt like the same team. Then too Ovechkin and having a chance year in and year out might have helped more than the uniform. If Kerrigan makes the team and gets two sacks he becomes the franchise sack leader and not the Redskins all time sack leader. In twenty years it won't matter anymore.

You are right , I guess all good things must come to an end

Chiefs with Arrow =Good. Warrior with Arrow =Bad.

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

I bet fedex and Nike will only except The Washington Air Mail

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

So how does this work if Snyder says we want to be called the warriors does Nike and Fedex have to approve and is the name going to be controlled by fedex a nike now

It's gonna be Warriors. What other name follows his comment?

 

[Ruzious]

A suggestion I heard and liked yesterday was the Freedom, but that's got no chance.

I agree far as naming the Skins the Warriors as every culture, ethnic group etc has a word meaning warrior. The thing is that with the present atmosphere being what it is. It gives the name change crew that much more power. Couple that with DC politicians/businesses saying no to relocating back to DC w/o a name change and NIKE saying they will not sell any Skins gear till a change takes place. The name change crew has a lot going their way right now.

 

[Ruzious]

im just hearing team nickname nothing about the logo. but why is a picture of a Indian offensive? i dont get it.

I agree. But the money people seem to want to get rid of that, as well.

Chiefs with Arrow =Good. Warrior with Arrow =Bad.

As the word Redskins has been used as a slur and Snyder can be a a dickhead of massive proportions. I think the Skins were #1 on the name change hitlist. But I've seen articles that have mentioned other teams with NA related names.

Philadelphia Freedom was the WFL or USFL team.

Jesus, you’re an angry, triggered, old man.

I cant think of a single poster I have EVER let get to me so much, that I felt the need to threaten them.

It’s also hilarious.

Also, tiring.
Enough out of you. I’m putting you on ignore.
