The Washington Redskins name has been a hotly contested debate for decades.
The team name is widely held to be a racist slur against Native Americans.
Now, some major business partners of the team are indicating their stance on the name debate.

F*** FedEx! I won't be using their services any longer!
ReplyDeleteThere is no proud history with this team. They have been losers for most of the time. And since the team is head-quarted in VA and most of the employees live in VA, simply move there, rename the the team the Virginia ....... Then build a stadium there and Washington can stick it. Another option would be to move to Oakland. Then the NFL can give an expansion team to the black group that wants a team. They would then suck for the next 20-30 years. And I am no longer watching college or pro sports. I am tired of social warriors who took the fun out of sports.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who thinks this is a good idea. Consider this. The removing of black iconic images such as Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and the boycott of films like GWTW and the changing of language and all other removals of black culture in America IS... by definition racism.
ReplyDeleteWashington Warriors. Lil Danny has had the naming and trademark rights since 2014. Worst owner in the NFL will now get a buttload of merchandise money with unloading all the Redskins merch and everyone buying the new stuff. Win win for that effer. That horseshoe up his arse is truly lucky!
ReplyDeleteI prefer Washington Weasels
DeleteWhy has it been "A hotly contested debate"
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT hotly contested, the Redskins have been a team since 1932.
The only people saying is debatable are those trying to tear down American institutions.
Keep it Redskins and change mascot to a potato.
ReplyDelete"losers for most of the time"??? 11:59, I guess you were not around in the 1980's. They do have a proud history and a winning % over .500.
ReplyDelete12;21 is the winner.
ReplyDeleteSo is Dolphins a slur against fish? Broncos slur against horses? Eagles slur against birds? On and on and on.......it’s ridiculous!! Somebody somewhere can be offended over anything....just get over it!!!
ReplyDelete12:44 - a dolphin is a mammal, not a fish.
DeleteScrew all football. Done with it!
ReplyDeleteDon't waste my time watching. Trash anyway 😂
ReplyDeleteChange it to the "DC Redskins". Everyone wins.
ReplyDelete12:21 YES!
ReplyDeleteAfter all, only couch potatoes watch football anyway.
Dan should sell the team and the new owner can move the team and name it anything they want.

ReplyDeleteHere's a suggestion bound to please:
The PC crowd since it recognizes them;
Those who have tended to shorten the current name, so no need to change;
And no racial overtones;
Foreskins!
They should name them the Washington Americans and watch half of the country implode and hopefully take D.C. with it!
ReplyDeleteName them after what Washington is full of; The Washington Thieves, or The DC Swamp Things, or The Washington Brown eyes (referring to the brown eye everyone has)
ReplyDeleteJust as in years before, I'm for naming them the Washington Foreskins.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that Pittsburgh will have to also change their beloved name so as not to offend the looters. I hope not.
ReplyDeleteWe needs to change the name to reflect us slaves who haves to gets jobs
ReplyDeleteDone with sports
