HTTR from a 55 year fan. Will always be Redskins to me. Only change needed was ownership.

Good Lord, don't give anybody any ideas! :icon_wink:

Ridiculous changing all of these names.
maybe it's me, but i see the Redskins as a positive name, i never saw any 'race' in it. to be as powerful & strong as an indian is a good thing.

Win? Foreign concept to them

I thought they would change their name because of the negative connotation. I really thought they would change it to The "Virginia Redskins".

Redskins

Commanders! :1rotfl: How long before someone complains that term is offensive. They should have not even bother with it and left it the way it was.

They renamed my beloved Cleveland Indians the Guardians!

Tired of all the woke/PC mess
 
They shouldn’t have changed the name anyway. For decades teams have had names like this and not a person had issues with it.
Now this wokeness movement has come along & can’t do anything without trying not to “offend” anyone.
I’m of Irish decent & the Boston Celtics have been a favorite team of mine going back to the Larry Bird days & that’s still one of my favorite basketball teams of mine but I’m not crying because they use Irish themes for their team/merchandise. Goodness what’s the harm?
Don’t give into this woke/PC garage & just have fun watching a game, it offends me to have to put up with this movement, why don’t those who started it think about that?

The Washington Commanders seems rather lame to me. Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.

The " Washington Stealers " would have been appropriate, but it's too close to Pittsburg's name.

I heard a funny diatribe on the radio this morning stating that they should change their name to the Washington bureaucrats :)
