team will be"undergoing a thorough review of the team name" that Native Americans have long objected to racially offensive.
It said it was doing so"in light of recent events around our country and feedback from our community."Washington Redskins logo at center field at FedExField in Landover, Md.Previously, team owner Daniel Synder has said the team would never change its name, claiming it actually honored Native Americans.
and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field,” Snyder is quoted as saying in the statement.
I'm suggesting the 'Washingtonians' as their New Name.
I won’t watch another game or buy anything nfl until Yale changes their name. cancelnfl cancelyale
Change name to the foreskins, don’t think foreskin would be offended
BretBaier The Washington Redskins have had that name since the beginning of its creation. Even Native Americans aren't offended, but owner Daniel Snyder is showing what a lily-livered coward he is by even considering a name change! Get/but a backbone w/all your money!!!
BretBaier Another reason to not watch.
BretBaier Eventually the Ire of patriotic citizens will address the real problem, our elected officials who allow this to go on.
Alyssa_Milano When is your public apology for profiting off of this? How dare you stand on the necks of indigenous people to make a dollar you cowardly elitist.
This is absolutely ridiculous and I'm tired of people folding g to the mentally and emotionally weak people
Name the team as : MLK, Bernie Sanders, ' Black lives matter ', N. Mandela, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Fidel Castro or Pancho Villa.
Any other race this would of been a bigger issue.
NEW NAME PROPOSAL:*THE WASHINGTON( BROWNSKINS)* because all Indians have (BROWN) SKIN.Go to any Indian reservation or look at any historical Indian photo and you will NOT see one(RED)SKIN Indian. So let the truth prevail with*THE WASHINGTON BROWNSKINS.*
The Washington Indians a know brainer keep the logo
This is a lie. Most Native Americans are fine with the Redskins name
It’s only 8 letters that concern anyone how long can it take. Maybe swap it out for Redshins and we can just color in part of the K on our jerseys.
BretBaier Talk about it, review it, then leave it just like it is. Screw FedEx and Nike. They are losers. FedEx will be gone in five years, replaced by Amazon delivery. Nike is an American hate group already.
How about the Washington Cream Puffs
What about just the “Skins”? I think people already call them by that name.. “Skins” meaning all skins.. Change Logo... Problem solved! What is next on the docket?
Don’t give in. Please
BretBaier But what about the polls several years ago where a high majority of Native America a were not offended by it?
Change name ....keep uniforms and logo
He’s trying as hard as he can to make the infection come to NY, just to tell Coumo I told you so!!
Call them the Washington Americans
The squaw beaters
It would be more accurate to say *some object to the name. Every Native American i know likes the name and mascot.
They should probably consider changing the name to a warrior group of native americans. That way the NFL has two positive affirmations of native American identity. Just a thought
BretBaier Congratulations Washington Kaepernick7
The Washington Potomacs. It speaks to the region, American history and Native American ancestry. WashingtonPotomacs Potomacs
This was done last time everyone was offended. The difference being the majority of people that give a shit anymore don’t give a shit what the NFL does anyway. Change don’t change your EFFed anyway.
If you want to keep the Indian theme, ask them to pick a name they find not offensive. Can't argue with that.
BretBaier More cowards
Isn’t Washington just as big an issue? He owned 300 slaves.
Cuanto jilipollas en AMERICA x Dios 🤣🤣🤣
Breaking: ABC sucks!!!
How about naming the team....The WASHINGTON AMERICANS?
Washington Cracker jackasses should be the new name.
BretBaier The media refuses to report that fans love the name “Redskins” and changing the name will help no one. The first Black President, Trump is right when he said “where will it end?”
Everything is offensive to someone everywhere.
BretBaier Surely if you call them “white skins” nobody would be offended...... ?
So much for the Browns, Giants (disrespectful of short people), Buccaneers (they were pirates who raped and plundered) Patriots (you can’t be patriotic anymore), Cowboys (misogynistic), Packers (well, you get it), Chiefs (native American dis)
Well, it’s about time. Honors Native Americans? My ass. Just do it.
BretBaier Washington Cowards is an apt name.
Run by a bunch of beta males. Give me a break
So when will bostoncityhall review changing the name of the RoseKennedygreenway 4 the family’s long & well documented history of abusingwomen? timetogobelievethevictims
BretBaier Tell FedX go pound sand
Tell them to fuck them selves do what you want not the sponsors
BretBaier Just kick Redskins out of NFL.
Washington Foreskins. Hands down.
They need a name that truly represent their city. I propose “The Washington Do Nothings” Or “The Washington Welfare Recipients” But the real winner is “The Washington Federalists” Because DC is a Federal Territory now and forever.
Washington SOY BOYS
But how will we know they were called the Redskins in the past? Will there be statues? Some sort of electronic 'web ?!
This is way overdue.
Final nail in the NFL coffin. It really does stand for NOT FOR LONG now.
I'm 100% okay with them becoming the Washington Caucasians or Rednecks.
jkelly3rd Bad idea to change from Redskins to Blacksins or Whiteskins
How about the Washington Pussies if the cave in to this BS.
After careful consideration and deep reflection we have decided to forego the Redskins name and from here on out will be known as The Peaux rouges
☝☝☝ MamelaFialloFlo vanesavallejo3 AgustinLaje UnaAlienada davidsantosvlog Slaanesh_Adria
I’m white and I vote for calling them the white skins. I’m not offended.
As well as this shithead/has been!!! Leave it as is!! As for my arch rival (I’m a Cowboy fan), this team is steeped deep in tradition. Don’t succumb!!!
BretBaier I'm for Washington Warriors with the same handsome, strong image of that Native American.
Bears have mauled black people before. They should change their name too.
Wait do we still hate Washington? I can’t keep it all straight
Lol
FloydMagic
PUH-LEEZE....
Washington Kaepernicks or else
I speak for myself. I grewup on fried bread & teepee livin' & I'm for WashingtonRedskins Theyre a totem-You do not understand the medicine in a totem. W/out these totems my people would be completely forgotten. If youre of the people & disagree, look thru red eyes-not Left eyes.
I mean, it’s really obvious you don’t have to be thorough
Native Americans have not objected to it. Just whiny soy boy white liberals
Would it be white supremacist to be the Washington Caucasians?
BretBaier i don't care but keep the cowboys pls!!
They have NOT been offended. Only white, liberal, snowflake SJWs are 'offended' on their behalf.
This shit is out of control!
Don't bend to this BS. Because it won't stop.
Thorough review 🙄
Send out the racist brigade to start defending all that’s offensive!!!
BretBaier Doesn’t matter we’re not watching football anymore as long as they play an imaginary black national anthem whatever the hell that is
BretBaier How about the Washington Foreskins? 🦅 EAGLES!
who cares we've all decided not to watch this garbage anymore
They can fix this with only a few minor changes. Change the mascot to a millennial Native American. Then, change the name to the 'Washington Thin Skins'. Problem solved.
If the Redskins can't keep their name in Washington DC I would move to another city that would except the Redskins
New name suggestion: 51st Staters
BretBaier Are the Patriots next?
BretBaier Whatever dude
Don't call them the Senators...they can't do anything right. Besides, it's already taken
classic ABC fake news spin on the story
I hope he doesn’t cave in! Keep the name!
To better represent the indigenious population of the Federal District of Columbia, the new name is...
BretBaier Washington Conquers. That’s PC! 😜
Just move out of DC. No Native Americans are looting burning down buildings, and killing each other with Domestic Violence. Move to Alabama, South Carolina Oregon, or another State without a Pro Team. Move to London or Canada.
It's about damn time.
Go with Whiteskins!
BretBaier Yeah, that’ll fix everything.
BretBaier How about the 'Douglass Redskins?'
Bunch of participation trophy liberal lunatic's.
Native Americans have never whines about this.... Only skinny jeans wearing white soy Bois are offended.
Thorough? It takes 20 seconds to do it thoroughly.
Bi-partisan support for Washington Redscares.
BretBaier Indians have not escaped the insanity of political correctness.
BretBaier Why not put it on the ballot in that state? Let the people who pay taxes and actually buy the tickets decide.
Many different native American groups have been asking for a name change since the 70s, it needs to happen.
I won’t watching anymore, due to the two anthems
Foreskins is the only acceptable answer
BretBaier Hell what they gonna do bout owning an tradeing black men just like the good ole days Was racist years ago but ok today. WOW blacks are sell outs
BretBaier Boycott the nfl
BretBaier I wished they changed their name to the 76ers. The left would blow a fuse.
BretBaier Nike needs moral conscience check! They are the company that hires child labor in China! As far as I am concerned they should have zero to say about anything! BoycottNike I have!
BretBaier Native Americans don't want to be put in the Black box. Someone is lying
BretBaier Move to Idaho and rename the team the PotatoSkins. The mascot can be a big spud.
Again? Yawn. Every 4 years like clockwork.....
BretBaier Just lost this viewer- forever🇺🇸
WASHINGTON REDSKINS CHANGING TEAM NAME 😱 FOOTAGE INCLUDED redskins WashingtonRedskins trending TrendingNow viral YouTuber youtube
BretBaier Washington RedWokes! RedWokes
BretBaier Just change the name to the Washington Sunburns.
BretBaier Braves, Indians (Chief wahoo), Chiefs, Who’s next? Where does it end? PETA gonna demand removal of animal names, mascots?
Do Not Cave In To Punks And Idiots
BretBaier Correction, it was not native Americans, it was democrat busybodys.
Pity that Redskins seem to be bowing to tokenism and stupidity... however, if a name change is definitely happening, Washington Redshots may be a good choice (especially as no other major US sports club has a similar name). [AdamSchefter; PSchrags; ColleenWolfe; NFLNetwork].
BretBaier This 2016 Washington Post poll found that 9 out of 10 Native Americans were not offended by the Redskins team name. Woke scolds still presume to speak on their behalf, though, including Nike, a company with a long history of very un-woke labor practices.
BretBaier Simple solution.. let native Americans vote on the issue.
Whats next, the Cowboys, or how about the bucs (pirates) or how about the raiders, that name could be tied to the civil war, its not but does that matter anymore. Pittsburgh pirates, minnesota vikings, this shit is getting way out of hand
BretBaier Change to 'Chief Running Feets'.
BretBaier Faithful Fans, will never watch again!
BretBaier 😴💤💤
BretBaier I chose the replacement already. The “Nike child sl^ve laborers”.
BretBaier So freaking stupid!
BretBaier JustSayNo
BretBaier The bowing to the mob continues.
BretBaier REDSKINSAREPOTATOSTOO KEEP THE NAME AND DUMP THE PICTURE. BE FAT BE PROUD BE-A-POTATO
BretBaier Actually, most people are in favor of keeping the name. HTTR Redskins KeepTheName
This is complete HORSE SHIT! Native Americans have NOT objected to the name of this team. WHITE LIBERALS have. Please stop confusing the 2.
BretBaier you might want to let the Codetalker vets know they are being racist. they fully support the team being named the Redskins.
BretBaier Meh, whatever. Can't stand the Redskins anyway. But 'Native Americans' have not long objected. A small subset of Native Americans have. The vast majority do not find the name offensive.
BretBaier That means they’ll keep the name.
GIVE IT TO THE FANS!! GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE!! IT'S THEIR TEAM EVERYONE WINS 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Redskins I'm a Cowboys fan but was born and raised in DC the new name needs to go to the PEOPLE OF DC!! THE WASHINGTON WASHINGTONIANS OR DC WASHINGTONIANS!! Give it to the fans 💯 but GO COWBOYS HTTR Cowboys Washingtonians DMV Wizards Mystics Capitals DC DallasCowboys
The Chiefs, Indians and Browns are all on the clock.
Its too long. Don't roll off the tongue
Change the logo on their helmet and move them to Idaho. Problem solved.
It’s not the natives complaing, its the butt hurts..
Sponsorship money is a powerful bargaining tool.
Change the name and I'm done period.
Just more communists trying to rewrite America. That name is a tribute to the Indians. Hitler and the Nazi SS did the same thing Antifa and the Democrats are doing. Rewrite history so the plebs will fall for it again. BanLiberalsFromAmerica
Whats next, taking the black crayon out of the crayon box, can't wear a black shirt anymore, i think were getting carried away here.
Natives have not 'long objected', they even came out officially as not offended. BLM is taking offense on the part of people who are not offended. Basically appropriation.
So which part of the name are they changing. The Washington part or Redskins part. Both are apparently racist words in this climate.
Long over due.
I don't recall native Americans objecting ABC.
Good, change the name it’s a slur
SwampRats Go with the Swamp Rats! So much of a reminder as to what DC is! Retweet.
All the Redskins have to do is take off the Indian emblem on the uniform. Then Daniel Snyder can say the Redskins name is named after red aliens from Mars. He can use an Red Alien emblem for the logo like this.
Again, changing stuff that doesn't matter. More impactful I think would be for a company or an organization to consider how they treat people and who they support. Real changes instead of symbolic ones.
Siri- What team did the first African American QB to win a Super Bowl play on? Have fun guys!
I sell sports hats to reserves all over eastern canada and teams like the Cleveland Indians, Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Redskins are the biggest sellers and requests. “Pride” being a major reason why. Its you guys in the media and white liberals who have the beef.
This is disrespectful to Native Americans. They aren’t a mascot. It’s very hurtful.
Shorten Native Americans to be The Americans. Same logo and colors. Honoring the first Americans. The real Americans. Then DC would have Capitals/Nationals/United/Americans. It’d be difficult for the league to oppose this name and the fan base would probably dig it. Original too.
At this point, the NFL could change the names of all the teams and no one would actually notice or care.
That’s just stupid
I’m curious if people would find it palatable if the team kept the helmet logo but changed the the name to the Washington Braves; “brave,” the last word of our National Anthem?
9 in 10 native americans didn’t care in a recent poll. Once again, its white liberals who are offended.....again!
A 'review' Because the owners have been booger picking and navel gazing all this time and didn't KNOW its a derogatory slur and racist
They should do that in Kansas City too.
Washington Foreskins would be a simple yet meaningful tweak (ouch) to the original.
Let’s erase more TV shows then.
Which native Americans? Are you making this stuff up like you make up other stuff? Make Football Great Again. Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Washington Cherokees
So their final answer will be one of thoughts and prayers?
A thorough review? What are they gonna hold up each letter and vote? 'R' .... That stays.
The incessant pandering is grotesque is not gonna win them the support they THINK it is. But, oh well.
Keep the name and sue FedEx for anticipatory breach of contract. Fixed it.
Washington Orangeskins? I dunno...just spitballin' here.
lol I like that they have to launch some kind of detailed investigation of this thing everyone has already been talking about for twenty years.
LONG LONG LONG OVERDUE LET’s go WASHINGTONSENTINALS
Maybe the native Americans should stop receiving FREE rides in the country too! Just saying.
Cleveland Indians be like..
If anyone hasn't noticed, commentators refer them as Washington during a game. I can't remember the last time one has said redskins.
I'm native and don't give a chit, I think its cool!!!
The Washington Rainbow Skins? Everyone happy now?
The 'DC Native Americans' works for me...
Not racially offensive. It's symbolic of accomplishment and bravery in battle. SMDH
It’s an easy call. It’s long overdue. ChangeTheName
Can't wait for trump's tweet rant about this. He uses the name Pocahontas as a slur, he's certainly going to be angry about the NFL doing the right thing for once.
This team has a long history of racism.
Wow!
Gotta say, I really like the Red tails idea. Symbolic. Respectful. Historic.
Rename the Redskins the Washington Swamp Monsters
Here from the “boycott NFL, boycott the Redskins, why so woke, etc.” comments
Relevant:
Foreign skin what you think?
OMFG when does this shit end
Big up for fragility!
Native Americans aren't the only Americans who've seen The Washington Football Teams name and logo as the racist slur that it is, anyone of good conscience has railed against it's use for decades
It’s time to bring the Washington Sentinels to life
As a Native American, who cares?
The world is fucked

Can we just end the NFL now? I mean it used to be a game played for fun and entertainment. Now in the age of everyone being butthurt its become a political battlefield. Let's just end the game already and move on. CancelNFL
