BlueInCanada Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 So it looks like after FedEx and Nike decided to pull their sponsorship of the Redskins in the tune of 170+ billion dollars, Snyder is looking at changing the team name. The Washington Hornswogglers has my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 It's kinda funny in some of the articles I have read, seeing them reference the 'skins as "the team from Washington" or "Washington's team". It's like the performer formerly known as Prince. And yet, no decision has been made, but the press is just gonna run with not acknowledging the Washington nickname. Shame it took a man being killed in front of our eyes and an entire country in total uproar, when they could have been ignoring the nickname all along to put pressure on Washington.

Mr. P Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 They name teams out of STRENGTH, not weakness, but now the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians, two fabled sports franchises, look like they are going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct. Indians, like Elizabeth Warren, must be very angry right now! https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1280203174008303616?s=21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-Giantsfan Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Redtails or Americans ( but both would be lame IMO ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I like Redtails. My preferred solution would be to keep the name, and change the logo to a potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 President should not be telling the Washington Redskins to change their name-our country has far bigger problems! FOCUS on them,not nonsense https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/387565483303923712?s=21 Trump in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The Red Tails were the Tuskegee Airmen. The black pilot corps who kicked ass in WWII. It would keep everyone happy, but the name's already taken. I suppose they could go with The Red Epidermis's, but then of course, sunburnt people would be offended.
