Well all of your merchandisers sorta backed you into a corner. Wish we could all just have our own opinions on things.

Should be changed to the Washington Swamp

Still waiting for a native to let me know this team name and logo is offensive.

Please change EVERYTHING with Washington attached....

Replying to Donte' Stallworth: we watched, hurt and rejoiced with you¡¡!! I hope you receive this message¡¡!!

As Cherokee Nation tribal member, I say 'TIME has come today.'

It had nothing to do with protests and everything to do with ‘woke’ sponsors.

Couldn’t agree more, but it’s a clear lesson to never say never

Actually we look at with the lens of woke name change symbolism, while not doing something that actually improves the lives of Native Americans who live with addiction and poverty.

9/10 Native Americans dont give a shit. In fact some said they were proud that there was a team that represented that demographic. Now because of lilly white left idiots, corporations have lost their collective minds.

Like everything, MONEY is the only way 2 get rich AZZHOLES like Dan Schneider 2 do the right thing!

It not a racist name. It's a name. Some people don't like it. Mostly white people. Most member of tribes could not care less.

it is football. really.

Lame af. No thanks.

Maybe it’s time to drop Dan Snyder?

About F-ing time.
