Redskins considering name change

[redskinsfan92]

That's what what happens when you have a society of a bunch of low t p#$$1es.
It is the Washington Redskins forever. F politically correct bs!

Does that men you'll have to change your forum name too?

I know it looks like an episode from the outer limits or a parallel universe from sliders (1995).

What if the name were changed to a local tribal name like "Washington Quileutes" or some other tribal name?

 

[FairShake]

'Bout time. From now on your name may look like this: ********fan92

Once they get the nickname changed, then they will work on changing the name of the city.

I don't support giving into mob demands because it just incentives them to keep throwing more tantrums.

But in this case it might actually be kinda cool cause Native tribes have some of the coolest names: Apache, Comanche, Lakota, Mohawk, Sioux, Cheyenne, Huron, Mojave.....

I've often thought this. Washington was a slaveholder.

I don't think it's realistic or moral to judge people in the past by 2020 standards. People back then probably knew no other reality. In any case, many men who accomplished great things were deeply flawed beneath the surface. Washington isn't celebrated because he owned slaves, he's celebrated because he was instrumental in gaining our independence, plus he was our first president. He played too big a part in our history to cancel. Besides which, he helped set into motion the principles on which the US was founded, principles that led to slavery being abolished.

If Washington becomes taboo, do we have to ban the play Hamilton, since it features Washington prominently? Even though in the play Washington is played by a black actor?

From what I have read the reason why they were named the redskins was because the team had a lot of American Indian players and so they asked them for ideas as to the name for the team. The American Indian players wanted the name redskins because back in the day the tribes warriors would paint their skin with red paint before going into battle hence they were known as redskins. The name is not racist if anyone bothers to do some research they would see that it is actually an honor to be a redskin (warrior). By the way their is a high school in a Indian reservation in Arizona who's teams are also called the redskins. This is a high school run completely by a American Indian tribe, if the name was a slur I doubt that the parents and school administrators would allow their kids to be insulted like that. One of the problems that I see with these movements is that most people in them won't ask any questions that could challenge any of the movements beliefs and ideas or do any research on their own to see if the beliefs or ideas of the movement are valid. I used to think that the name redskins was racist so I did some research and that is how I found the information that I just shared.

I am sick of this politically correct bullshiit. Daniel Snyder needs to have balls like he had in 2013 and tell everyone to go fucck themselves.

Money talks. I don't think Snyder can operate the business without the merchandising sales money from Nike or the sponsorship money from FedEx. Regardless of my personal feelings, Snyder has been cornered and will be forced by FedEx, Nike, and Pepsi to change the name. He's a brilliant man if he can tell FedEx, Nike, and Pepsi to fucck off and find other revenue sources.

I like the old logo that team had, the one with the "R" on the helmet. Maybe they could bring that back, what begins with "R"?
How about Washington Racists? Wouldn't that be demeaning to racists, and therefore a good thing?

Welp this is 2020 in a nutshell. I would of never found this information on ANY major news outlet, but I find it here haha. Agenda pushing is insane.

Redskins merchandise is no longer available at Target, Walmart, and ****'s Sporting Goods.

Martha and her family were the ones who owned slaves, because they were rich. George married into money. That's why he didn't free his slaves, because they weren't really his.

And no longer at Plantation I used to work at, I mean Amazon

 

[SW15]

Redskins announce they will change name to something else.

 

[zekko]

How about Washington Social Justice Warriors?

 

[redskinsfan92]

I'm done...This is bs of the highest order. The feminine imperative has gone too far. I will be removing ANYONE who is close to me in real life that supports this from my circle entirely.

 

[redskinsfan92]

It meant more to me than just football. I was a Redskins fan because of my grandfather, who meant a lot to me when he was around. This makes me feel cold toward this whole country.
