Washington Redskins former name, native americans polled | wusa9.com (https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/washington-redskins-former-name-native-americans-polled/65-34f758ac-75c9-4d8e-8e2d-e780b5ab4f3b)


A University of California Berkeley study, released in February 2020, questioned more than 1,000 people who self-identified as Native American.

The results showed that 49% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the name was offensive. That number jumped to 67% for those "frequently engaged in tribal cultural practices."

[JGVillages]

If we’re being sucked in by this madness then “Washington” must go too.

[Klatu]

New name: abundance of options...

Woke Wussies
Budget Busters
Beltway Bandits
Pork Pirates
Capitol Donothings
Washington Wastrels
DC Dingbats
or just
Washington Reds (that would cover budget records, anger management issues, political philosophy of some pols, random affiliations with China and even save the red paint left over from former name)

[charliets]

All they had to do was change the mascot to a potato, no name change required!

[rjn5656]

How about The Washington Swamp.

[davem4616]

hmmm, wondering if The Patriots will end up changing their name

some 'looney tune' with nothing else to do will eventually come forward stating that there is evidence that there were patriots that owned slaves and were harsh on their indentured servants...and the poor cupcake finds the word Patriots offensive.
Kraft won't fold like a deck of cards, but once he sees the increased apparel sales that "the team formerly known as the Redskins" are ringing up for gear with their new logo on it, he'll see the wisdom of appeasing the 'woke fans'

then the 49'er's will have to change their team name....hello they rode into land specifically designated as belonging to the Native Americans, killed many of them and stole all the gold that they could find

Cleveland Browns....now that's a team name that's certainly living on the edge

Tampa Bay Buccaneers ...well we all know that pirates enslaved people....that one's gonna end up in the trash heap

then there's the Kansas City Chiefs ...they can't hide much longer, might just as well start rebranding now

The owners will be pleased...look at all the new apparel they'll sell with the new team logo on them

[Taltarzac725]

[alwann]

I suggest they change to The Washington Generals. This was the name of the house team that played against the Harlem Globetrotters. The Generals never won a game. It fits.

[Mickedamouse24]

:blahblahblah:The name Washington will have to be removed as well as soon as they realize G. Washington was a slave owner! Gonna be a goner! I suggest all names should be changed to numbers,,,!!! Identify with the date they came into being or built.!! Buildings/house be numbers..... Streets letters!!! :ohdear:

[Marvic 1]

I suggest they change to The Washington Generals.

That will never work , "Generals" will remind them of Robert E. Lee and Michael Flynn....... :1rotfl:

Any name makes no difference. That team will still suck.

How about The Washington Panderers

Steve

The label "Panderers" can be pasted-on just about everyone in Washington not just the football team.....

[fdpaq0580]

That will never work , "Generals" will remind them of Robert E. Lee and Michael Flynn....... :1rotfl:

"Generals" reminds me of 4star General Colin Luther Powell, a man who rose to the highest rank as a result of hard work and a desire to be of service to his country. A man that could and ,perhaps, should be a role model for young people.
In my most humble opinion, the term "General" should not be a problem. Who you, or someone else choose to associate with that term is up to each individual.

Stay safe. Stay well. Pick good role models, kids. Peace!

But my favorite higher up military personal was Admiral Zumwalt.... :clap2:

One of my favorites also. But the term"General" was the name/title in question, although it is possible that any service title could be targeted.

Stay safe. Stay well. Respect for all who serve(ed) abroad or at home. Peace!

I love changing the Washington Red Skin's mascot to a potato and leaving the name alone!!!

The Hodgetwins - Redskins Owner Caves To Leftist Mob Decides To Change Team Name! | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/thehodgetwins/videos/280448089906461)

[Bikeracer2009]

Change all sports team names to the sport being played.

Washington Football Team
California Football Team, etc.

If you have more than one team in a state then that team's name defaults to the their city. Miami Football Team etc.

Changing some of the rules. No more kickoffs to start the games. The team that makes less money gets the ball until they make the same amount of money.

Each team can makeup their own rules that only apply to the other team.

Get rid of the referees because they cause the penalties. Send in a councilor if someone feels a rule was broken.

The score is always even in the end and everyone gets a trophy.

This one is funny .... never thought about the "Chiefs" before and didn't consider the profits in rebranding. Complicated subject

Turns out that the abolitionist, Alexander Hamilton, had a sister in Georgia who died with a manservant. The manservant packed all her stuff and came up to Boston whereby Hamilton "freed" him and funded him to open a cobbler shop where the man prospered and lived. However, technically, Hamilton owned a "slave" for the ten days it took the man to travel up to Boston (as he had inherited his sister's property). I heard a called on local radio call for Hamilton to come off the ten? Hmmmm.

Eli Yale of Yale University (slave trader)? Washington, Jefferson, the list is long.

The Washington Terrorists is apt.

I do not understand why these people cannot deal with our forefathers based on the times they lived in. Talking about their lives based on where we are as a society now makes no sense.

[OhioBuckeye]

Now this might work. Flip it around. The George Washingtons rather than the Washington....

But just make sure George wasn’t a slave owner or the non slave BLM will be Boo Hooing!

[Rodneysblue]

Maybe the Washington Crybabies. Then if they don’t win they can lie down on the field and kick and scream just like the protesters.

I would vote for Snowflakes, but it doesn't matter because I am done watching professional football.

[bobm3]

Having grown up in Detroit, I would call them the Lion Beaters

We could call them the 10 percenters.

I would suggest "The Potatoes". That way they would be known as "The Redskin Potatoes".

I guess if you are going to get rid of Confederate statues because they were losers, then the same might be said about the "redskins."
Why not just give the land back to Maryland and Virginia where it came from and quit worrying about appearances? That would solve the problem with making D.C. a state and we can get rid of an embarrassing football team. If a name bothers you, then life must be miserable for you. I wonder how many will have their names changed from Robert or Lee.

SO HAPPY with the Cancel Culture!!!

It's bringing us a new Washington Football team name! Hooray!
And it's so innovative and inventive - has a ring to it.

It appears Washington's NFL team won't have a new name or logo anytime soon.

The franchise announced Thursday that it has decided call itself the "Washington Football Team" throughout the upcoming season as it continues to finalize a replacement name and logo for "Redskins," which will be formally retired once the games begin.

The team will keep its burgundy and gold color scheme but play with new jerseys when the season kicks off Sept. 13. The Indian head logo on the helmets will be replaced with players' jersey numbers.

Washington dropped its old name and logo earlier this month amid continued pressure from key sponsors and activists, who had long criticized the name as racist. The team has not publicly revealed a timeline for its formal rebranding process or when a new name might be revealed.



OK, all sanitized.... Happy Now?????

[manaboutown]

We always called them "The 'skins". Would that work since no color is mentioned?

[Buffalo Jim]

The " DC Hogs " would seem to be appropriate .

[Bikeracer2009]

Looks like I won! Page 3. I suggested the name "Washington Football Team".

I'm kind of a big deal around D.C. so they took my advice lol.

[davem4616]

Lets have some fun and suggest new name for Washington's football team:

Was Redskins. 90% of Indians are supposedly not opposed to the name but change is coming. Can we keep Red...

how about some of the following:
- Tidal Basin Warriors
- Gridlock Gridiron Warriors
- The Red Helmets
- or better yet, "the team formerly known as the Redskins"

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

The Washington Native Americans.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

We always called them "The 'skins". Would that work since no color is mentioned?

Only if another teams changes their names to The Shirts.

[giorgio1948]

Really want to go there? lol

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

Really want to go there? lol

Not sure which comment that you're referring to.

The one about the shirts was because when we played basketball when we were kids and didn't have uniforms, one side would take off their shirts. So it was shirts against skins.

If you don't like the Washington Native Americans, (which is probably offensive because it contains the word Americans) how about The Washington Indigenous people?

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

How about keeping the Native American theme and honoring the people that once occupied the area by naming the team, The Piscataways? They could also make the Piscataway tribe their primary charity.

Maybe they could talk to the tribe and ask if this would they would like this.

[bilcon]

Actually the name "Washington" should be removed because of the bad connotation it conveys.

They are going to be in the future who they were in the past. The Redskins.

I take it that's a tribe with ties to the area.

PISCATAWAY is a town in N.J. Rutgers University is a part of that town. It's named that way because they Don't Like Cats! :doggie: :boxing2::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Yes, I should have mentioned that. This way, they could keep their logo.
