BUt there are no Wolves Native to DC, there were actual hawks..... Wolves might work.. but I dont want to throw out what I was thinkin... LOL
Id rather they get rid of red altogether. Total makeover. All I know is that whatever the name will be brace yourselves fans of this team for the laughter and jokes that will be coming our way from the outsiders as well as insiders. Could get brutal. SMDH

according to this
Wolves in Virginia. Both grey and red wolves once lived in Virginia. Today, both species of wolf have been extirpated within the state. ... evidence available at present supports species status (Canis rufus) for the extant red wolf

Dan missed his Window. He could have done this years ago, come up with some idea like the Wizards did where the name offended some and as such he wanted to make the team name something ALL Americans could get behind.

Now he will look like he did it because it was going to cost him money otherwise. And the team will lose some fans just because he caved.

But some how I think that goes sideways.

Get rid of any name associated with any group of people. Stick with animals or objects please. Rather not do this again anytime soon.

I always felt that the Redskins logo actually honored native Americans. That will now be erased.

I don't think that was bad either, and they could've just changed the name to Warriors, but I think at this point they want to break clean of the whole thing. We'll find out whenever they get their trademarks set.

90% of Native Americans are not offended by the name Redskins but a vocal minority got their way.

Lobbyists or Bureaucrats would work.

Rep... H.D. Woodson is a predominantly black high school in Washington DC. Unlike the Redskins logo, the Warriors logo has always been designed by the students it was meant to represent.

But I agree some would find it offensive, although I doubt anyone would consider it a slur.

well , good to see you shark .are you going to pop in from time to time when the new name comes out ?

i think we need to have a link to our past with the new name but not force "red " something

red wolf is nothing more then a mixture of coyote and wolf . i have 2 gray wolves (or timber wolves depending on where you find them ) so the name would be OK

my thing is does dan snyder deserve my loyalty with a defacto expansion team after 29 yrs of his incompetence

the team redskins had my loyalty regardless . the redwolves or others , not so much . if i dont have a link to the past then i dont really care a lot about the team subject to it earning it

i dont much care for the NFL and its support of marxist organizations and my passion will reflect that. its easy to see what they want in their mission statement and that is incompatible with my belief's . i will never ever be a communist

and i have cut off all alumini donations to my university until such time as the product it turns out is better then indoctrinated sheep . college professors voted for left wing democrats at a 85 % clip . . their donations matched that rate so until it come more in line of 50/50 . they wont get my money to graduate trash

i do not watch college sports because i am not supporting their BS any longer . colleges make their money off of these programs and i will not support them with my money

i have gone months without any sports and i find that i can do without it . so MMA could be in the cards or other outdoor activities until such time as i can watch a game without the constant pushing of a political agenda on either side .

Red-tailed hawks, Cooper’s hawks, and Red-shouldered hawks

Today, the indigenous cultures of the Chesapeake Bay region are vibrant and thriving, testimony to their continued determination. Tens of thousands of people across the watershed identify as American Indian.

  • The Commonwealth of Virginia has formally recognized 11 tribes: the Chickahominy Tribe, Eastern Chickahominy Tribe, Mattaponi Tribe, Monacan Indian Nation, Nansemond Tribe, Pamunkey Tribe, Rappahannock Tribe, Upper Mattaponi Tribe, Cheroenhaka (Nottoway), Nottoway of Virginia and Patawomeck. The Pamunkey tribe is the first Virginia tribe to be recognized by the federal government.
  • The State of Maryland has formally recognized two tribes: the Piscataway Indian Nation and Piscataway Conoy Tribe. The Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs serves eight indigenous tribes in the state.
  • The State of Delaware has formally recognized the Nanticoke Indian Association.
I think there was a tribe located in the marshes of what is now Washington DC named the WeSucks. I vote for that one. I think they had a chief name ChiefDanNoBalls.
