Don't change your name tell them to get over it

The Washington Americans!

I believe it should be up to there fans have a vote you can win prizes if the majority vote is to keep the name redskins keep it if the majority vote change the name change it and let the fans choose the name and win big voting from the fans is the best way to go

How long before Atheists & Muslims are offended by “Saints”? When will everyone remember the fleur-de-lis was once branded onto runaway slaves? ⚜️ 🤷🏼‍♂️ WhoDat CancelCulture Saints

Fuck yeah FedEx

They should talk to the senator that they purchased… Mitch McConnell. They gave him lots of money.

meanwhile the white sox

Yet again, WOKE WHITE LOSERS taking offence for everyone else. Native Americans were asked if they were offended and 9/10 said they werent.

SPEAKING OF BEING RACIST:if you go to it gives you a list of CNN's anchors and hosts... only 3 out of 71 are black. 119 correspondents and reporters and less than 10 are black. how do they get away with this racist policy?

Call them the WhiteSkins football team to make the white fans feel better.

FedEx hates America.

Snowflakes

Keep the name, lose the indian.

Fedex is in violation of their naming rights contract. I am not sure on Nike but I stopped buying anything Nike since they use forced - aka slave - labor to make their products. justdontdoit

Redskin is an offensive slur to Native Americans. We have a team called the Vikings, why not name it something similar for Natives? Same mascot, but not offensive. It’s not that hard folks.

F U FedEx!!!!!!

lmao

THAT’S ABOUT DARN TIME!

South park episode

5 Million new jobs created in June—but CNN ignores. How corrupt.

Why no mention of one of the biggest stories of the decade? Jeffrey Epsteins gf: Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested

You missed these

This is not racist. How dumb.

United we stand

Sooooo cnn just used the same racial slur to throw shade when politically convenient after mealymouthing an indigenous campaign for over 20 years?

The Washington Jim Thorpe’s

About time.

The name 'Washington Redskins' does not have any Racist Connotations.

FedEx has not rewarded its employees for working through the pandemic, without PPE during the height of the pandemic. Spare me.

I don’t know man, the Washington Indigenous peoples group of North America doesn’t have the same ring to it. Perhaps the Washington Scumbags in Suits is more exemplary of the city it’s self.
