Not when the name has ALWAYS been derogatory and a slur. You can always find a group that will, for the right price, defend the indefensible

Snyder was a HORRIBLE owner and a worse human being, but the "redskins" had to go

I hope you know for a fact that the group is getting paid to promote pride in the Redskins name. Otherwise? Yikes. That’s a racist assumption. Do you have proof of payment? Or are you just trying to justify past virtue signaling?

My boy Ken is from Bellingham. That’s almost 97% Caucasian. Probably a lovely place to live with a very low crime rate. You’ll have to forgive him for not being all that knowledgeable when it comes to other cultures.

Personally, I'm offended by the Notre Dame mascot.

It depicts the Irish as short perpetually angry people. How in this day when a man can put on a dress and make you call him a woman, can this inflammatory depiction of my (half) race by allowed???

I bet they even bring the mascot onto the field in a paddywagon.

I agree. Almost as bad as the Celtics.

Your pal Ken grew up in North Dorchester, lived in the Franklin Field projects. Taught school in that same neighborhood for 10 years and I am WELL aware and knowledgeable when it come to other cultures. Do NOT pretend to know someone based on where they live 70 years later.

Bellingham was a logical choice at the time. All my doctors are in MA, so it was the closest I could get to Foxwoods and still be in the state (for the record)

Fair enough. So if it’s not ignorance of other cultures, then why assume that NAGA (and the +/- 100,000 people) who signed the petition only did so because they were being paid? You don’t believe they’re telling the truth when they say it’s an honor to Two Guns White Calf? That the logo, which is not a mascot, was gifted to the Redskins football team? Are you not believing that because you’re a racist? Or do you just want to avoid admitting that you’re wrong?

Cool.

A 2020 study found that about half of respondents found the name offensive, and even larger numbers found tomahawk chops and imitation dances offensive, too.

A New Study Contradicts a Washington Post Poll About How Native Americans View the Redskins’ Name - Washingtonian

In 2016, the Washington Post published a poll about whether Native Americans found the Washington Redskins' name offensive. Ninety percent of respondents said they were not offended by the team's name. The poll has since been used by Dan Snyder and other team owners as evidence that their Native...

Interesting how it went from a 96 percent rate of approval in 2016 by the Native American population to "about half" approving of the name. I wonder what the cause was that changed the perspective of a population that would (should) have taken similar polls within a four year span.

When this was being discussed I thought Red Wolves was the best option. It’s not offensive, allows them to use their burgundy and yellow (not gold) colors, and gives them the opportunity to have some nice looking fun imagery (such as the one the Bears have).

As he always did, Snyder screwed it up. He was hot garbage from start to finish as an owner. I can see why “Cokie” Irsay, Haslem, the Bidwells and Spanos’, and Steven Ross were happy to have Snyder around so that their ineptitude seems more normal compared to “Pee Wee” Snyder. With him gone it’s a new chance to cause aggravation for “ThanksGrandpa” Mara, which is never a bad thing.

Report: Russell Gage likely suffered season-ending knee injury

Gage went down after a non-contact injury during Wednesday's joint practice with the Jets.

Looks like the Gage experiment in Tampa will end with a thud.

would love to see the name back, the Commanders is such an awful name.. sounds like an arena football team or something

Could've been better - I would've chosen Americans to match MLB's Nationals, or even Senators (3.0) - but it could've been worse too...

I just call them the Commandos anyway.

Dan Snyder.

That's one way to look at it.

The Littles Billy & Nicky Caesario actually trade UP for this predicted bust, 2 years after Cyrus the Virus and 3 years after Glitch Richards were taken in similar spots... Just what the **** was going on up there?

And as a fellow short and every once in a while angry Irishman, in the words of Curley Howard, I resemble that remark.

Red Wolves isn't bad at all, though Elmer Fudd & myself might have a harder time saying it multiple times fast...
