Redskins are Changing Name Tomorrow... What Should The New One Be?

[ShotgunDawg]

Let's here your best new name for the Redskins.

[Commercecomet24]

The Snyder's.

[ShotgunDawg]

Smoot wants them to be the Redwolves

They could just go with "Skins"

Pigskins

Hogs

[ShotgunDawg]

How about "The Investigators"

or "The Washington Deleted Emails"

[dantheman4248]

Policemen. Will let other teams know they come from a position of strength and will beat on others with no consequence.

Sentinels. In honor of the best Washington football team of all time.

Natives. Keep the same logo and honor Native Americans with a name not associated as a slur.

Tribe. Same as above but less likely because I believe Indians take this one.

Warriors. Same as two above. Odds on favorite. May have a W logo a la Washington University.

Hogs. Pay homage to the best era of Washington football.

So tell me what bug is up your butt that you feel compelled to turn most threads you respond in with a liberal anti-establishment post. Please tell me so I don't think you're just another DNC, anti-Trump, BLM, ANTIFA, young punk who can't get out of their parents basement ass.

My bad, he did answer. Good by him to discuss it

For this specific thread I made a joke.

In general, Change doesn't happen until the majority in this country favors it. You have to make the moderate unhappy. The moderate who is content is the biggest threat to the battle for equality. All he wants is to be left alone. He's not inherently evil and that's why a lot have disconnect with the message of white privilege. Honestly I believe white privilege is an inaccurate descriptor towards the ultimate goal. It's really more of a black (or other minority) disadvantage. The goal should be to level the playing field by bringing them up and not taking away. That message gets lost and misconstrued. The moderate must be motivated to help drive this change. If they can ignore it, the country can ignore it.

As for that last colorful descriptor of who I am, I have my own place. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and worked an average of 30+ hours a week while in school to pay for my college. All on my own dime. My parents couldn't afford a cent towards it. My dad worked two jobs until he got sick. The healthcare system ****ed us and we were bankrupt. My mother became medically disabled by the time I graduated high school from mental stress of providing, dealing with bankruptcy, and keeping all of the medical history of my father in order (the biggest feat of them all tbh.) My father passed halfway through my college. I've seen the horrors of what this country does when you aren't "useful" to society. And by that i mean unable to physically do anything. I fundamentally disagree with that. On top of the low income area (read: minority-majority) that I grew up in, I see the looks that you get. It's a crime to exist while black. Plain and simple.

I see what the system does. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I know there are east next steps we can take to be better to one another. I don't believe every person being selfish is a healthy way for a society to function. If that makes me DNC, anti-Trump's actions (wasn't totally against his ideas initially but he implemented nothing I agreed with and is just a snake oil salesman at this point), believe that black lives matter, anti-fascist, then so be it.

You rarely offer actual steps that should be taken though. That is the issue that I have with BLM etc. Nobody is actually stating what laws should be changed or what healthcare changes should be made. And universal healthcare for all isn't an answer without explaining in detail what that entails.

I would fall into your middle class moderate claims of just wanting to be left alone. I would be one of those willing to listen if actual options were explained in detail. Right now it just feels as though we are being attacked for something we played zero part in.

I don't have an issue admitting my privilege and I do quite a bit in my local community with underprivileged minority kids. So here I am spending a decent bit of my free time working with the very group that you state is in the most need and then on top of that your group is calling me selfish/racist/bigoted/ because I am a white straight male despite the fact that a lot of people on the left aren't getting out in their communities and doing anything to help those fatherless youth.

You may think rioting is doing something but it isn't helping the 9 year old that lives in the slums without a father or sustainable income become a successful human. It may or may not pay off 30 years from now but it is doing nothing for the current generation of kids. I have a hard time respecting someone's opinion that isn't involved in their own local impoverished communities telling me I'm racist and just don't know it when I am giving away plenty of time that I could be spending with my wife and kids to work with and teach other kids that aren't as fortunate or "privileged" as my kids are.

The people trying to offer real concrete ideas get glossed over. We live in a bite size society and push short quips to the front. "Defund the police" is what is said when it really means we shouldn't be having these guys geared up for all out war.

I've had discussions on several threads that point to it here. And am always happy to discuss when it comes up. There are disagreements in philosophy of some of it (The +1 talk with shotgun and separately with dawgology is just fundamentally different. I get their perspective, we just differ in opinion.)

I mean it's taxing to offer the actual steps written out everytime. I'll put together a signature going forward of "actual steps" I believe in. I just have concern that that may open the door to every thread becoming political and if a moderator would ask me to not, then I'll remove it.

Yes you're moderate and I really hate the term "privilege". It makes it too easy demonizing white people and fostering enemies instead of allies. I think the standard for all people should be the "white privilege default." I want a better society to pick people up, not tear down people for "privilege" of living a normal standard life.

The windows since they feel the need to be PC

[Political Hack]

I definitely think they should choose something less racist. You can change the first or last word only.

I like the RainbowSkins.
