Really it’s not that hard how is this guy an owner

I'm still pushing for the Washington Irvings. Why should Baltimore have the only literary team in the NFL?

Washington was a slave holder. Maybe they need to think about changing the slaveholding part of their name? Of course, right now, we can assume they support slavery. Why hide? Why not make it obvious? The Washington White Supremacist Slaveholders.

What a bunch of pansies

That's the best name? How lazy. Oh well not my team 🙄

Have Morrisons as your logo as they could do with some stores in america

What hogwash! If I hear the word from any racist I will know civil society is over. People are in the streets for months to end this oppression and WA Racists get a pass

what season?

Washington FT

Go fishing too much drama

D.C. Americans and the logo stays the same. Problem solved.

So here's a thought, change the logo to a potato and keep the name, daring snowflakes to get pissed off at that. Illustrating the stupidity of their position.

Doesn't matter. Many won't be going. NFL and other sports are over for fans that have loved the game for many years.

WFT? WTF!

All they had to do was change their logo to a potato and they could have kept the name

They can't call themselves that. Washington owned slaves.

🤣😂🤣What a woke joke

The Washington Spineless.

It's a joke Big deal.
