FedEx asks Redskins to change name

[comochiefsfan]

JUST IN: @FedEx has asked the Washington @Redskins to change its name. Here is the statement:

“We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name.“

— ABC 7 News - WJLA (@ABC7News) July 2, 2020

Here we go. I think part of the reason we’ve been safe from this kind of stuff is because the Redskins have always been a bigger target. Now that there’s pressure from sponsors Snyder is going to feel the heat like never before.

If they go down, make no mistake, the mob will come for us next.

the people have spoken. They are buying up all the fan merch. I cant find the caps I l ways wanted. I hat dad caps that are left

People overreacting to a team that should have done like St. John's and Arkansas State did long ago are hilarious. If you are the Washington team that plays in the NFC east that hasn't been relevant in 30 years here is your chance to really go for it. Name change, logo chance and colors change.

Corporate intimidation tactics. Corporations weaponized for the SJWs agendas. This has to be stopped somehow someway.

Man.. Eff fedex. They should just keep their mouth shut and keep delivering packages. All companies and organizations should just do what they do stop bowing down to the stupid idiot dickheads who think think being alive is offensive.

1. Reach out ,build a bridge between the Native American, the media and the sports community. Bring people in to the franchise who understand their culture. Change what is offensive and celebrate what is not.
2. Change all the Current imagery. Separate the chiefs as a nickname for bartle from native Americans. No more arrowhead no more drum no more horse any and all of it gone.
3. Change the name.

4. Give everyone the double finger and yell SUCK IT HATErZ!

I prefer Washington Parasites

The nice version is Washington Bureaucrats

Or, if we're getting to the true powerbrokers in this country, Washington Lobbyists

OF course, this is pointless because after changing the name the SJWs will insist that the city of Washington change its name because George Washington owned slaves

But, this also means the most elite universities need to be razed because many universities owned or had buildings constructed by slaves. Not just southern schools. This means pretty much the entire Ivy League needs to go.

However, truth in advertising principles suggest we need honesty in team names...

What about Washington Liars, Washington Deceivers, and Washington Distorters?

Of course, we could get rid of all team names and instead compel every sports team to call themselves the X (City name) SJWs. So Washington SJWs. Another name I like is the Washington Ministers of Truth

Redskins name is going bye bye. T
Dan will sell or change it
He won't have a choice.

I don't think #1 is possible, because I don't think that real Native Americans are the problem. The problem is people of other races (white, black, etc.) who think they know more about Native American desires than Native Americans do. Even if you build great bridges with Native Americans, you'll have people of other races who think it's not acceptable.

If it makes me uncomfortable or I disagree then it should be illegal. That is todays thought process by the younger generation.

[vailpass]

The Chiefs should issue a blanket statement that they are keeping the name and anyone who’s reservations cause them to cry about it can take their tears on down the trail.

Why is Indians "borderline" and Chiefs is "respectful"? **** you.
