Pathetic. Seems obvious that the group whining does not represent the majority opinion. Either way, this is Merica' and Snyder can do what he wants with the team name.
Changing it is obsurd. That group should spend their money on a neighborhood improvement project or open a business and get some people back to work. The things people bitch about sometimes is unbelievable! |

In fact it should be copy written and distributed to all in other such instances.

Besides that, the Redskins brand name is worth quite a bit. Quote:

Yeah, that'll work.
I'm sure long time Redskins fans will be fine with saying goodbye to RG3 at QB, and hello to Blaine Gabbert/Chad Henne/? for the next 10 years. |

It's his team, he can name it whatever the **** he wants. If it starts affecting his profits, he can still name the team whatever he wants. I don't understand how anyone thinks they have the right to try and make him change it.
So you're offended, don't support them. End of story. |

Coming from someone with nothing but the utmost respect for Native Americans and who lives with them I can assure you they don't really give a flying **** about the name of an NFL team. When they start caring I'll start listening. Can anyone here who is Native American tell me they give a ****? Because I'm 99.9% sure this is self-loathing libby bullshit. Won't hold my breath.

This whole argument for changing the name has next to zero credibility.
1. If it is offensive now, it was offensive X number of years ago when the team was founded. 2. The name "Washington Redskins" is a brand. If Snyder thought he would gain a larger fanbase by changing the name, or lose a large number of fans for NOT changing the name, he'd do it in a heart beat. 3. This idea of pacifiying people who are offended by something rarely achieves anything. I doubt there has been anyone in the history of the US that has been impacted in their life because the football team in Washington DC name their club "Redskins". This needs to be put in the trash heap of meaningless debates yesterday.

No, the Bullets didn't have a tenth of the name brand that the Redskins do, but one little libby victory gives them hope that more, much bigger victories will follow. It's nothing more than a group of people looking to pat themselves on the back and say "hey, look at what we accomplished." But they are picking a fight they have no chance of winning. Good luck with that . . . . |

I say change the names of ALL of the other teams to Indian names. I'd start with the Atlanta Apaches and the San Francisco Scalpers.
