The National Football League's Washington franchise will change the Redskins name and logo, the team announced Monday in a statement.
The new name of the team was not revealed.The announcement comes just days after the team said that a"thorough review" of the name would be conducted. The name has long been denounced by Native American groups as an ethnic slur. "That review has begun in earnest," Monday's statement said."As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors, fans and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward.
For this season, Washington NFL Club; gives the.organization a full season to decide on a new name and logo. They should just put a W on the helmet.
Just think of amount of merchandise cash flow is coming their way! Its all about dollars!
Well damn. Why aren't you in the race? There's no way that if you got started, of course immediately after the 2020 mess, that you wouldn't win in 2024. Real talk.
The Vikings should also change its name. Vikings came to America and killed many native american . Bad peoples, the Sooners, stole their land 😳 The USA should stop calling it self America, America goes from Argentina up to Alaska. Thieves defundgangsandcriminals
The name never bothered me but in changing times we all try to do what is best, but it won't stop people from saying those damn redskins anymore. I miss football!!!
Should they change the name?
FAR LEFT MEDIA carefully avoid to make the direct connection between the B.L.M. PROTESTS that they HAVE INSTIGATED and FUELED with the NEW SURGE OF THE COVID INFECTIONS. The incubation timing MATCH PERFECTLY. But they seems really happy of the results
Change the name of the country. It is named after white colonial explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Scrap the constitution. It was made by white racists. Change the name of the capital city. It was named after one of those white racists. Change the name of the White House. It is racist.
Blah, blah, blah cancel culture STFU! 🙄
Makes sense...back in 1937 'Redskins' was considered a strong, brave and enduring avatar for a sports team. Today...not so much.
NEVER bow to the mob. Like CNN and MSNBC want you to do.
Just keep the logo. Call them the Washington Native Americans. Problem solved. Somebody send me the money!
It’s fine that we are trying to change by changing names of teams and tearing down status or figurings or flags but remember it will not change what people thing or racists it’s a short term fix A leader who show the way throw the dark night with a lanternto breakup the night
Washington PC Elites or Washington Swamp Rats
Or Indians Lives Matter!!!!🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 Fuck Indians and there casinos!!!
How about we call them the Zionist Washington Israeli terrorists
How about changing names of bayous, streams, rivers, lakes which have native Americans names
The jets are also offensive. They are humiliating jets or helicopters
How much is that going to cost .....
🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
on the flip side at least they didn't name their team Washington Blckskins 🤔
I’m officially done with the NFL and NASCAR. Y’all gotta stop catering to butt hurt America. Let’s piss off the people who actually support those sports...sure let’s do that. Let me know how that works out for you.
Fucken cowards bowing to the left!
Ahhh nothing like pandering to the MOB!!
Dismantle all sports
Maybe they’ll change it too BLM!!!!🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
new name could be Washington Sewer Rats to represent the intolerance of SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer HouseDemocrats SenateDems
Imagine if the team was called the Washington Gringos. All these white people would be freaking out.
If they wanted to keep the first nations aboriginal theme just reach out to the local nations and open up a discussion. The Blackhawks named after Chief Blackhawk has reference. Im sure there's at least one person of intrest..if intrested. If not i guess its boring and bland
Washington panderers ! On our knees from shower to field!
Bout time.
Indians life matter
I hear there's some talk that the MiamiDolphins may have to change their name because the dolphins are complaining.
I don’t understand why sports team can’t just have cool names like “The Washington ass blasters or shit kickers” why always shit names? Come on let’s make sports interesting and have cool names!
Truly support Indigenous Americans & fund their communities, provide new opportunities not new jerseys! NativeAmericans should get a kickback$ of any new merchandising budget/income!
What am I gonna do with all the Indian bikes I've bought!?
Why?
Like this you are destroying the native Americans history. That is one of the most iconic and beautiful logo in the world. Trying to erase the native Americans history what could be more racist than that?
Wow a bunch of uneducated idiots put a country on its knees. Never imagined that Americans can be sooo stupid. For the uneducated people everything is racist, they see problem everywhere.
The NFL is dead🇺🇸😡
W. Thin skins W. Commies W. Weaklings W. Foreskins
I hope the bird lovers don’t get all up in arms !!
This matter has gone way to far , there are a minority of people who will never be pleased , these are just sport teams , not racist movements !
Its proof of the unfair treatment of all peoples of Indigenous ancestry. We are ignored and overlooked as if we’re extinct. The government, as always, overlooking the most oppressed & first enslaved in America. The hypocrisy of it all. Not about Justice, only about selfish greed.
Gotta love the fact that 95% of the people that are complaining about the name change are white people. Who get offended by the idea of making something not racist.
This is a good entry here:
I recommend we call the “new” team. They shall forever forth be known as the Washington EUNUCHS.
Redskins Thx for your name change choice. We’re all finally realizing, some of these choices are long overdue as we fully recognize the meaning of names and monikers that reflect deep with racism.
The Washington Thinskins.
Can we still say Orangeskins? Asking for a president.
I wish they would name them Washington Veterans 🇺🇸 donlemon NYGovCuomo would have a nervous break down. 😂
The Washington Natives maybe?
Finally. Good decision.
Crap. Man is due to an Aboriginal story. Besides, it is not the titles that make a society less racist. It is the action of each day.
'Washington Kneelers' is ok.
Call it Rec necks
In a relate CNN story: Carol Baskin and Joe Exotic both agree that Detroit should rename their baseball club.
The Vikings will remain because looting, raping and killing are now all ok.
Whatever it may be the changes attitude matters.
I think this is more offensive to native Americans than a Redskins logo. RedskinsNameChange RedskinsNewName Redskins
🙌🏼🙏🏼👏🏼 Thank you!
Washington Pardoners
Well it’s oficial. I have had enough of this bullshit. While all of the bitches cower I will be the one at the front holding the line.
The Washington Wolfpack or The Washington Warriors
Let’s all quit talking , thinking , having opinions , not having opinions , disagreeing , agreeing , being unforgiving , forgiving ..... . Are we all going to sit here nodding too scared to say anything about anything . That’s where we are heading .
Now will be the Washington Potomacs.
Watching CNN and I love the show but when Poppy did her reporting on the Washington team logo she stated the “Washington “R.....” so on. The point of changing the NAME and logo is it’s OFFENSIVE to Native Americans. Love watching Poppy but please don’t use that “R or I” name!
About damn time!
Why are people so bothered that they decided to change their name? Change is not a bad thing.
Aqui é o Junior eu quero à música da DORA POSTIGO hoy
GucciGamingBurr 👀😆
New mascot, same name.
Still think they got it backward. Keep the name but change the mascot to a potato.
So stupid. Pretty soon we won’t be able to call a football pigskin , because the animal rights activists will poise themselves on words instead of standing at slaughterhouses praying and watering trucks of animals
The Washington Concern
❤😍
Life is good if you have the wherewithal to give a shit.
Finally wore 'em down, huh? Only took about 30 years.
Well so much for football - I loved it so much - but nothing lasts forever - shame it ' bit the dust'.........
Love the cancel culture 'conservative' replies in this thread. Can't even remember they argument they were making two days ago.
Yo there’s a football player getting exposed for his anti semetic comments, can y’all do a report on that? Nobody cares about this
Washington Red Skins and Onions Home Fries! 👏👏👏👏👍 🏈
Did anyone ask the actual Indian’s if this name was offensive?
This is long overdue!!! (Who’s next Indians Chiefs EdmontonEsks et al)
The fact that it too so long it’s very disturbing
OMG! It only took how long. Everyone knows this should have been done a long, long time ago.
leftists will be happy with this. until wednesday.
Ridiculous.... Political correctness at its best.
I'd be embarrassed to be compared to an awful football team too
Long denounced by white liberals ? Let’s see what many Natives say... Facts first : this survey found 9 out of 10 native Americans don’t find the name offensive.
CancelCancelCulture
The name IS an ethnic slur - and has not only been denounced by Native Americans....
The logo and name will no longer be revered. Now they will just be forgotten. The indigenous people will no longer be in hearts and minds.
Rename the team The 'Washington Kaepernicks'!! OR The 'Washington BLMers'!! OR The Washington 'ANTIFA'!! They should sell Kaepernick 'Pig Socks' to all of the Big Fans Too!!
How about the Chiefs?
The'Washington Mamba's'!!!!!
Time's Up!
To ensure they have connection with their Native American heritage, the name has been changed to “The Washington Elizabeth Warrens”.
very stupid
Hey Dan S... give in to this nonsense.. change the name and then sit back and take in all the $$$ from the merchandise sales. You can be PC..please the socialists agenda and make a ton of new $$ ..
Good move, as someone who grew up in DC, the name change was overdue. Plus the Washington team will make bank on a new name, new merchandise, etc.
Go after a ✡️'s shekels, get results. DanSnyder Redskins
