Simple poll: Should the "Redskins" remain the "Redskins"

[Stack Money]

Yeah might as well keep it since its been around this long and we all used to it.

If they change it tho they should stay wit that theme and call it either -

Washington Indians like the Cleveland Indians and a counter of sorts to the Kansas City Chiefs (Chiefs/Indians)

Washington Natives for Native Americans

Washington Americans like the Montreal Canadiens but keepin wit the Native American theme and since Washington is the capital of the US the name "Americans" fits even more

or Washington Warriors which is a good one too along wit that fresh ass logo

I personally would go wit the Washington Americans, Montreal repped their French Canadian peeps so it'd be cool for Washington to ride for the Native Americans in the same politically correct style.

Imagine if there was a team called the Baltimore Negroes. Would you be offended?

The equivalent would actually be the "Baltimore ******s"

 

[fscballin]

I'm personally against the use of any and all native american names in sports.

How do you embrace a culture that you mentally and physically exterminated?

the majority of the "players" are slave descendants who have been mentally exterminated for centuries

 

[RAX 010]

They might as well change the whole scheme name colors etc

 

[Type Username Here]

Washington Natives would be dope IMO. You get to keep the colors and theme, change up the logo a bit and big up the Native Americans.

Are Native Americans offended by the term "Redskin" or is this the usual North East liberal angle by sanctimonious writers like Peter King finding ways to pat himself on the back? Ditto Bill Simmons.

you must have ignored the dozens of native america activists who have spoken out against the name.
in sense they all said.

Just in case you need proof heres one article about a group of native americans who protested the cism

all this typing to try to rationalize you clinging to your squad's racist name. fukk out of here.

the shyt's horrible. no if ands or buts about it. it's even worse once you consider that DC is the nation's capital.

it'd be like having a German soccer team named the Berlin Kikes.

people didn't just start calling for the name to be changed. it's been called for for years. get your head out of your ass.

yep this seems to happen in this country all the time people get use to hearing something is ok so much that they aren't capable of looking inside themselves and seeing that in fact its wrong

 

[THE MACHINE]

forreal, if it wasnt jackasses like Peter King and Mike Wise leading the charge and this felt more organic, I would be behind it.

Time to get on board breh. We can't worry about motives when we all know its the right thing to do.

 

[Momentum]

Rename them the Washington Redtails.... you can keep virtually the same branding just replace the Indian head with the R.

 

[HollywoodP]

I agree the name should be changed.

How do yall feel about the Cleveland Indians and Kansas City Chiefs?

The origin of the Chiefs name has nothing to do with Native Americans.

 

[Jayou Ayen]

It should be the Washington Diplomats.
