Washington NFL Team Says They Will Undergo 'Thorough Review' Of Name | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
Washington?…has to be ‘Swamp Monsters’
Since Redskins will be done away with, what are the best options for renaming the team?
How about the Washington Native Americans? After all, they are the original people of this country.
Wrong the red headed giants were here first.
Sarah McCoy WASHINGTON WARRIORS!
@Diego Winterborg interesting.
But anyone born here is native.
Who says it’s a done deal? https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/new-poll-finds-9-in-10-native-americans-arent-offended-by-redskins-name/2016/05/18/3ea11cfa-161a-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html
I don’t understand why the team doesn’t see the huge cash windfall that would come. Most of the fans would end up buying new gear.
@bLoWc16 the only ones offended are sjws
aj1021 only racist people who aren’t offended
@aj1021 And the only ones that aren’t a racist dickweeds. That’s you!
@CJ J Take a look in the mirror snowflake
And all the old gear would skyrocket in price
The Washington Lobbyists.
‘Redtails’ is an awesome name although loses the logo and thus the entire point of the name change.
Washington Natives?
I’m from DC. This is all about Dan Synder. The fans have been ready.
Kynetta Sugar: His resistance to change the name you are CORRECT.
A thorough review to find new sponsors so they can keep that name🤣🤣🤣
The Washington Bunker Boys…..uh ok I’ll see myself out…..just couldn’t help it….lol😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
PPPFFFFFFTTTTTTT!!! they did that way back when and the fans (mostly white) got sooooo salty they change it back so good luck with that drama.
I remember years back some wanted the Redskins owner to change the teams name I’m not surprised this issue came back
M: Snyder resisted the change back then, will he resist and refuse to change the name this time.
native for life💯never never forget where I came from and who I am RIP to the natives that are not here because of the white man
The Washington crooks
Do Germans name their teams after victims of genocide like we do?
You are associating two truths which dont connect. They are not masquerading as conquerors nor slinging any slander. They are using a name and invoking its ppwer as a weapon against their foes. I dont see a problem with the name
For the benefit of the uninformed I will translate: “Thorough Review” means “hide and hope the storm blows over while avoiding any substantive positive action.”
If the money keeps drying up, Dan Snyder isn’t gonna have a choice on how this goes.
@ArtGirl82 I sincerely hope that’s true since he’s been more or less impervious to any prior criticism of his ownership.
Most dont think the name is offensive https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/new-poll-finds-9-in-10-native-americans-arent-offended-by-redskins-name/2016/05/18/3ea11cfa-161a-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html
@aj1021 Two surveys of 500 people 4 years ago? Yeah, that definitely represents the diverse and complex beliefs held by a majority of several indigenous nations.
@ArtGirl82 I dont see a poll supporting your position…
Who’s idea was it to name Washington ‘The Red Skins’ to begin with ?
google is your friend.
Who fkn cares, is just a mascot
Soon as nike quits using sweatshops to make their gear.
FOX News had to turn off the comments on their clip for this story. Apparently, the vast majority of FOX viewers are horribly racist. Who knew??

They should it’s equal to the “N” word, profanity.
But where we’re black people all these years saying nothing when they dominate the team?
Should have never been called ‘Red Skins’ imagine a football team called ‘Black Skins’ I cringe just thinking about it.
America really has no shame,and little if any regret.
My rename suggestions list:
1) Washington Star Spangles.
2) Washington Powers
3) Washington Monuments
4) Washington Senators
5) Washington Congressmen
