@ElJavi76 brought this up in zoom while hanging out with @SigmundChurchill. He brought up a lot of good points of things that are "considered" racist in today's overly PC world. Although I agree with

It's a sad day! I live in KC and if they try to change Chiefs name the shit will hit the fan

I don't think they will make us change our name but I do think the Tomahawk Chop will go away and maybe even Warpaint ?

I'd be more upset about losing Warpaint than the chop.

WOW!!! Where did that come from? Did Dan Snyder do anything to you to warrant that?

The Redskins have sucked for the last several decades and are no longer relevant as a competitive team. Even many fans have turned their backs on the team and it's disaster of an owner(s). So does it really matter what they are called?

I dont think they can stop Tomahawk Chop in 3rd quarter when 40,000 fans are 3 sheets in the wind!

I'm not sure I want to see that logo on a helmet. 

And I shudder to think of what their mascot would be.

I saw this coming as my High School mascot was also the Redskins. I grew up in New England. I first heard the talk about changing it around 1993. It was well understood that the outcry wasn't coming from the Native Americans but the young white Gen Xers. We laughed at that time. In 2001, as soon as the Gen Xers started gaining institutional and political power, the name was changed.

World gone mad. Ordered some merchandise last night before they murder the logo.

of all the days I am doing a review with ken :rolleyes:

I'd doublecheck the news with Arsenal Football Club, just to make sure. This Redskins news would be bad enough!

If a mate gives you a nickname that you don’t like and you ask them not to call you that, you don’t call them that again. Unless  you’re a dick. A mate could say that they did not mean to offend or just stop using the nickname. This is a football team (or baseball or whatever) and fans or owners can come up with another name. How about the D.C. Comics?

I had this happen to me at age 15 when I moved to a new town. I needed to get in three fights before everyone called me "Dan" again.

This thread will get locked

It certainly should be, since it’s just a platform for political venting.
