Washington Football Club name update

These guys move as fast as other things in Washington apparently. I had kind of forgotten that this was still lingering out there:


Washington Football Team President Jason Wright ruled out the 'Warriors' as an option for a new nickname and logo.
"We made it a priority to run an inclusive process to listen to all voices," Wright wrote in a briefing via the team's website. "This engagement demonstrated to us a consensus that moving forward with no ties to Native American imagery is the right path. Feedback from across communities we engaged clearly revealed deep-seated discomfort around Warriors, with the clear acknowledgment that it too closely aligns with Native American themes. To that end, we will choose an identity that unequivocally departs from any use of or approximate linkage to Native American imagery." Nonetheless, the organization is reportedly "down to a short list of final names" that will eventually be revealed once a single moniker is settled on.

Unpopular opinion: they should just keep Washington Football Team and be done with it.

Washington Insurrections

What strange times we're living in these days.

how about the Washington Cavalry **

I like Washington Football Team as their name. I would also go with Sentinels.

I don't think that opinion is as unpopular as you may think.

Golden State promised to protest is why they didn’t use that one

You have a point, from each persons point of view all people can agree with this one. None of that is helpful though.
"Liberty" would be a good name.
"Minutemen" would be better if it were in Massachussetts
"Federalist"
"Statesmen"
"Vangaurdsmen"

I wish the Army of the Potomac had a crafty nickname. That would be a great pull from history.

Some good ones here. Plenty of patriotic nicknames could apply to a DC based sports team.

Washington Soy Boy Beta Cucks has a nice ring to it?.

No....keep going, I couldn't argue against any of those.

I, personally, don't see one iota of difference between 'Redskins' and 'Warriors!'

I'm part 'Native American' and don't like the Washington Football team but have never had an issue with 'Redskins!'

Kinda of fond of the Washington/SF Pelosis

It?s interesting how there is a vocal contingent fighting to ?end repression? by white washing everything. I mean?the people fighting for representation of minorities are actively fighting to remove the name and likeness of minorities from any product. Hahahaahah!!?

"I mean, if we're talkin' slurs...there are obviously more black people per capital in DC than Native Americans, so why not the Washington N-Words?"

Agreed. It's grown on me, as well.

Also, re: City Bagel: Red-pepper parmesan bagel, toasted, with carrot-walnut-raisin-cream cheese. Perfection.

How about Savages or Engines?

Uncle TomTom ... ***

This is all due to how bad we 17'd over the Indians and for whatever reason many still live on reservations. There were some bad assed chiefs and warriors back in the day who fought valiantly and died bravely on the battle field.

If people of Irish decent were 17'd over as bad as the Indians, ND would be pressured into dropping their mascot.

No sports team adopts their name to demean. The Redskin name was to honor their courage while fighting for their land. It's really simple and quite silly that the white virtue signalers started all of this TOTAL BULLSHIT.

I agree with you mostly (surprise, lol), but names like Warriors, Braves, Chiefs, etc. are very different than Redskin. To your point, the formers do mostly denote honor and a positive legacy. Redskin, on the other hand was a slur used to literally demean and reduce their humanity based on skin color, obviously with the goal of making it easier to kill them.

good post and it has iron. Our cavalry back in the day used the term and you are correct as to the reason they used it. Back in the 50's, Dwight E formed "Operation Wet Back" to tackle the border. The last thing I would do if I met an Indian would be to call him a redskin. But The Redskins had become so ingrained into the casual football fan's mind, nobody ever gave it much thought until white virtue signalers decided to go woke and threaten bidnesses with boycots and law suits. Before that, there were no public protests or what not. Shouldn't go 'round trying to fix what ain't broke hiding under the false banner of oppression.

I used to get the breakfast red pepper parmesan (their objectively best bagel) and the asiago cheese breakfast bagel. Then I would put Cholula on top...mmmm. Also, I kind of liked that your drink was a single can of coke from the freezer. It made you savor it.

Whatever their energy bars were too. A got one and one for the road if I wanted to indulge.

Miss that place. But hey! We have Bojangles now!
