Now that the trademark has been cancelled, they'll essentially be forced to change the name. Otherwise, all sorts of non-NFL approved merchandise will be for sale at local shops and of course, the internet, which will put a dent in Washington's (and the NFL's) revenue stream.

I'd just change it "Reds".

Ha!

What? Holy shit this dumb as ****. Do you even understand context? Let alone the historical significance of the term redskin?

Didn't they just do a poll here in the last year and 90 something % of Native Americans didn't care that the name Redskins is used?

I've heard more whites bitching about it than Native Americans.

Totally something a whiteskin would say.

It's always curious when white people and Christians get offended, yet those same people think that African Americans, Mexicans and anyone different from them should "Just get over it".

Why do some people on here get upset over the idea that the Redskins will be changed? They're not your team. They can become the Washington Man****ers for all I care.

Also, where's Rain Man?

The Ermines dream is NOT dead

Because people on Chiefsplanet get upset by ANY change to the world in which they live.

It's never right to be on the wrong side of history and this is definitely one of those times.
