Do you think Snyder should change the name of the Redskins? (5 Viewers)

[SaintsInDome2006]

I'd like to just smash a glass at the wall. Hey Snider: "DC FC" is staring you in the face.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Really laughing thinking about Auburn - hey we're the Plainsmen, the Tigers, the War Eagles, who gives a ####, beat 'Bama!!!

[OrtonToOlsen]

would be cool if they rolled out white uniforms with a blue stripe a la repo man

Suppose you're thinking' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in looking for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness. 

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Generals is ridiculous. Why name your team after a laughingstock?

Seems kind of appropriate to me.

 

[zftcg]

Honestly, they should have gone with the Washington Team of Football, since that would be the most appropriate initials to describe the organization

DC️FC

 

[The General]

Just going with “Washington Football Team” this year.  They’ll probably get roasted for it, but seems to make sense versus rushing a new name/logo/etc.

Another set of jerseys to sell!

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

The final choices came down to Washington Football Team or Fresno Badminton Team.

I would have gone the other way, but whatever.

 

[djmich]

Warriors would be a huge own-goal, squandering any good will they generated by announcing the name change.

Can’t go with Presidents as there have been racist and slave owning presidents

Isn't this the name that some in the media have been using since the start of this thread?  (Or at least asserted they would use.)

Peter King has been using this for quite a while when discussing this team.  At least 2-3 seasons.  

 

[Joe Summer]

Washington Team of Football would have made for a better abbreviation.

Not sure if this was posted before in here.

I've seen the Cleveland version before, and I think both are hilarious - pretty sad some of the reactions he got, but I'm sure there were plenty of reactions like mine too. 

 

[Max Power]

Okay, let's ignore the Saints logo in here.

5 years from today, I am willing to bet that the name of the NFL team that plays in Kansas City will still be "The Chiefs".  Considering the fact that I have 5 kids to put through college, I'm hoping you'll agree to a low stakes wager of $50ish, but could be talked into more or less.  Obviously, we've learned the hard way that gambling with internet strangers can be a really bad idea thanks to @cstu but I have been around these boards for almost 20 years, have never failed to pay out a wager and have paid out all fantasy sports winners on time, every time for a long long time covering numeros leagues in various sports.

You seem like an honorable fellow to me, I'm willing to shake on this.

One step closer

 

[Amused to Death]

The South Park episode "Go Fund Yourself" was on again last night. Never get tired of that one.

 

[General Malaise]

One year down, four to go!

Yep, the Chiefs just showed their hand. They arent quite ready to admit it yet.

  What happened? Google News has nothing, and they're usually reliable on stuff like this.

The Patrick Mahomes thing (walking out of camp because of the team name) didn't happen.

Lol did he actually say he was going to this?

No, it was a Twitter hoax. I thought Max Power might have seen the tweet.

No more horse and maybe some other cosmetic changes.  I don't think they are changing the name, but Max has 4 more years (well 3 years and 50 weeks) to collect on his bet if I'm wrong.

Ah, gotcha 

thx

Yeah, the horse thing and debate over prohibiting the tomahawk chop. 

It's only a matter of time...

 

[Max Power]

Does removing the horse eliminate a stereotype? I'm sure Indians will be ok with this and only this...

I actually grew to like Washington Football Team. Seemed like a classic, soccer type name.

Everybody I know liked "The Football Team"   The team baby

 

[PinkydaPimp]

me too.  Maybe change it to football club?  Logo similar to a soccer logo?  I really wanted redwolves but alas. 

I also didnt mind anacostians.  I still feel some sort of tribute to native americans would be nice. 

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Honestly, unless they're changing it to the Washington Dan Snyder Is Finally Selling the Team, I don't really care

Seems like an obvious set up for the Washington Groundhogs.  Reasonable, given the team's Bill Murray-esque wait-til-next-year repetition.

I just wished they'd gone with Washington Team Football because its acronym is one reaction that commonly occurs in my household while watching them fail up and down the field.

Or go full Football Club and sell the team helmet sponsorship.    Chevy logo.   US Steel would be awesome.    GoDaddy.

 

[squistion]

Done.

I hope the word commander has be thoroughly scrubbed for not being used by individuals in the past that harmed black or brown people.

 

[Prinefan]

Definitely yes.

[tymarsas]

Commanders is a pretty good choice. I like it.

 

[Insein]

Still calling them the Skins.

Some on the Twitters are already having fun with it.

HAIL TO THE COMMIES!

HAIL VICTORY!

COMMIES ON THE WARPATH!

FIGHT FOR ALL D.C.!!!!

 

[Manster]

There have been countless "commanders" in wars past who've undoubtedly done bad things...I bet some of em were even racist...It seems a lil to war-ry, and patriarchal.....how long before the woke mob has a problem with this name?     I'm half joking, but half seriousness.

 

[Ruffrodys05]

I think the new name is the suxor but, it's better than the Washington Presidents.
