Craven, cowardly corporations demanding they submit — it’s not enough that they bend the knee. They mean to make us all bow.
Another power grab by the Left. Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder does not have a choice. Sponsors of the Redskins such as FedEx and Pepsi Co are asking him (which is really a demand) to change the name of his team. Nike has also removed all Redskins merchandise from their website. In addition, Snyder is being relentlessly smeared on the sports networks such as ESPN. What few on the Left mention is that according to recent studies Native Americans are not offended by the Redskins name. Look for the Left to now attack other sports teams with Native Indian themed names. The owners of the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Atlanta Braves, and the Cleveland Indians, and the Chicago Blackhawks better be ready for a fight.

Report: Redskins ‘Likely’ to Change Team Name After ‘Thorough Review’
By Breitbart, July 3, 2020
The Washington Redskins have been asked by their corporate sponsors to change their team name, and, it appears they are willing to consider doing so.
According to a statement released by the team and obtained by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Redskins are to conduct a “thorough review” of the team’s name.
Potentially big news: The #Redskins have been having internal discussions about their team name and now will conduct a formal, thorough review. Full statement, including quotes from owner Dan Snyder, on a possible name change: pic.twitter.com/49mpesZGs9

Rapoport followed-up the above tweet by saying, based on sources, that a Redskins name change was likely.
My understanding of the #Redskins situation, based on conversations with several sources: A name change is likely.
It would truly be a monumental decision. It is time. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s statement was supportive, as well.

On Thursday, team sponsor Fedex formally asked the Redskins to change their name. Later that day, it was learned that Nike had pulled all Redskins merchandise from their website.

New name, under discussion, The Little Washington Sambos.
Ouch!
IF INDIANS OWNED THAT TEAM
They would keep the name. Indians do have slightly reddish skin, there is nothing wrong with that. And they were a warrior culture, with very high esteem for sports, and for winning. Indians like to be included in American culture. The Chicago Black Hawks were named after a genocidal Indian, and no one minds. The Pontiac car was named after another genocidal Indian. 90% of Indians have no problem with the name ‘Redskins’. Shania Twain’s real name is Eileen, and that’s OK.
Don’t forget Buckwheat.
Washington RINO’s
No. Must have good name. Heapum wompum for good name.
Washington Paleskins.
*** Happy 4th of July, Achmed!

Thank you, Achmed, and …
God bless you and yours …

Happy Fourth of July Achmed and Dan.
You’re kidding, right?
This is beyond ridiculous.
To HELL with the NFL
They should rename the team The Washington Foreskins, to reflect those who can’t keep out of other people’s business, and to reflect what has become of congress.
How about the ‘black skins’?
If they are smart they will grab Snowflakes before it is taken. They could have a cool logo with a snowflake sort of snarling or something.
Very good.
Grow a pair. No half az names. Call them the Black Lives Matter,
The fore skins.
“Washington Schmucks”
Gutless f**king COWARDS!
I hope their fan-base walks away and they go broke!
I’m sure the owners will be very happy as they’re dragged off to the poorhouse (Bankruptcy Court).
I was a fervent Dallas Cowboys fan since ’60, their year of inception, until ’17, when Kapernick’s antics became pervasive. “Was”, as in history, I don’t do that sh*t anymore.
I’m a veteran. I didn’t quit on them until they quit on me.
Here is my choice of the Redskins’ new name: “The Washington Swamp.”
Bite the bullet and just call them the Black Lives Matter skins.
Bite the bullet and just call them the Black Lives Matter skins.
Spineless
Next Bolshevik campaign: force Oklahoma to rename itself, as it means ‘land of the red man” in Choctaw. .
Instead of fed Ex, the team should be sponsored by Planters Peanuts. Then, the helmets could be fitted with a photo of that company’s redskin peanuts, There – it’s FIXED!
Perhaps, the “Washington Tar Babies.” Lots of NFL teams soon to be on sale cheap. Rush, you may be able to buy one after all.
My Redskins gear, especially the stuff from the Joe Gibbs days, will be worth a fortune now.
During the Obama years Dan Snyder said he would never change the name. So much for that. Ticket prices will plummet. Fans will disappear and no one will care what they call themselves.
Maybe Snyder will have to move the franchise out of Washington.
They shall be known as the Foreskins
Will the Fake Indian Senator from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren, have to change her name as well ??
Good luck with that. She still claims from time to time that she still is one.
