  1. Since Redskins will be done away with, what are the best options for renaming the team?
    How about the Washington Native Americans? After all, they are the original people of this country.

  2. I don’t understand why the team doesn’t see the huge cash windfall that would come. Most of the fans would end up buying new gear.

  3. ‘Redtails’ is an awesome name although loses the logo and thus the entire point of the name change.
    Washington Natives?

  4. The Washington Bunker Boys…..uh ok I’ll see myself out…..just couldn’t help it….lol😂😂

  5. PPPFFFFFFTTTTTTT!!! they did that way back when and the fans (mostly white) got sooooo salty they change it back so good luck with that drama.

  6. I remember years back some wanted the Redskins owner to change the teams name I’m not surprised this issue came back

    1. M: Snyder resisted the change back then, will he resist and refuse to change the name this time.

  7. native for life💯never never forget where I came from and who I am RIP to the natives that are not here because of the white man

    1. You are associating two truths which dont connect. They are not masquerading as conquerors nor slinging any slander. They are using a name and invoking its ppwer as a weapon against their foes. I dont see a problem with the name

  8. For the benefit of the uninformed I will translate: “Thorough Review” means “hide and hope the storm blows over while avoiding any substantive positive action.”

    1. @ArtGirl82 I sincerely hope that’s true since he’s been more or less impervious to any prior criticism of his ownership.

    2. @aj1021 Two surveys of 500 people 4 years ago? Yeah, that definitely represents the diverse and complex beliefs held by a majority of several indigenous nations.

  9. FOX News had to turn off the comments on their clip for this story. Apparently, the vast majority of FOX viewers are horribly racist. Who knew??

  10. They should it’s equal to the “N” word, profanity.
    But where we’re black people all these years saying nothing when they dominate the team?

  11. Should have never been called ‘Red Skins’ imagine a football team called ‘Black Skins’ I cringe just thinking about it.
    America really has no shame,and little if any regret.

  12. My rename suggestions list:

    1) Washington Star Spangles.
    2) Washington Powers
    3) Washington Monuments
    4) Washington Senators
    5) Washington Congressmen
