FedEx asks Redskins to change name


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.

I have inside information on the new nickname! I ran into a diehard Redskins fan friend of mine at Best Buy, and he said he was told by a source within the organization that they will NOT be the Washington Wallaby****ers. Couldn't rule out Redwallaby****ers quite yet, though.

What if they just renamed the team after a SINGLE, badass, historic Native American?

Like, what if the descendants of Red Cloud and the Lakota were like, "Wow, that's a great honor!"

The Washington Red Clouds.

They don't even have to change the logo, really.

That would be cool. But the SJW beta cacks would still start crying and throwing a fit again.

I mean, total pipe dream and they wouldn't touch the idea, but if the family and the tribespeople were behind it, there's not much ground to stand on.

It's no different than naming a team after Joe Louis, in the case of the Browns.

Most people don't realize that, but it's the case. (at least Paul Brown himself said so. The team later backtracked this publicly as the name was based on his skin color and nickname, "The Brown Bomber")

Naming a team after a person for their bravery, legend, honor, etc. is very different than naming your team after an entire people.

I get ya, but the thing is that original Redskins name was also looked at as a symbol of pride by many native americans. Native americans were actually drawn to like that team because of that name and the fact there was 4 native americans on that team in the 1930's and they themselves wanted that name. But unfortunately although your idea is cool and would be unique, it's 2020 and the SJW's would come running again. I'm sure one day they'll have a problem with the name "Browns" too. Just give it time.

You should see Twitter.

People are calling for the Vikings to rename the team based on the fact that the real, actual, Norse Vikings burned and pillaged the whole of Europe a thousand years ago.

It's insane.

COVID needs to end so some of these folks can set their manufactured outrage aside and go back to their jobs at the Hot Yoga Studio.

I don't particularly care about what "SJWs" think, but I do care about what Native Americans think. You're probably right that perceptions have changed, but that happens.

So it seems it's definitely not unanimous, but it's also not a tiny portion who find it offensive.
