          Once upon a time they were known as "The Red Men"
          Had nothing to do with the American Indian, any race, or creed either.
          They were called "The Red Men" because the jerseys and shorts they wore on the court were the color red.
          Hard to imagine how people might conflate "The Red Men" with natives when their logo was originally this.

              FedEx pays for the sponsorship of the stadium. FedEx says change the name or else.

                  Yes, he's gone. And is never coming back

                    Its not like the Redskins couldn't find a Indian casino to sponsor the stadium. I bet Synder may be talking to Chief Tumbling Dice, or Chief Double Down, or Chief Spinning Picture Wheel, or Chief Red Black right now about the sponsorship. I think that maybe even the Indian tribes may assert their sovereign country angle just like the "CHOP" did and have Chief Black Lung sponsor the stadium with the indian smokes they sell.

                          This is so stupid.
                          Wtf is happening to our country? For the first time in my life, I am beginning to be embarrassed by my own country. This isn’t what our forefathers wanted. This is a joke.

                                They should change their name to the Washington White Power. I’d support them.

                                Name your team after winners. And white people defeated the Indians. Why name your team after losers?

                                          The RedTails would be an awesome name. The Tuskegee Airmen had the highest percentage of protection for B-17s flying dangerous missions into Germany. In 1945 they flew a daylight raid into Berlin and brought every bomber back safe. 1600 miles round trip.

                                            This ^^^^, it would be epic for Snyder to do.

                                                    Alyssa Milano is now calling for the end of the “Washington Redskins” name. She’s even sharing a petition on her Twitter timeline.

                                                    Alyssa Milano used to model Washington Redskins gear and she made a pretty penny to boot.

                                                    We must end racism in its entirety. Allowing the @nfl to continue to use the @redskins name is destructive to Native communities and cannot be tolerated any longer.

                                                    This is all very interesting commentary, coming from a woman who just a few short years ago allowed her name and face to be used in a sportswear collection that shows Alyssa in all sorts of “Washington Redskins” apparel.

                                                    In fact, in February, the Pacific Standard published an article pleading for Milano to stop selling “racist clothes.”

                                                        A statement from Nike regarding the Redskins likely name change: “We have been talking to the NFL and sharing our concerns regarding the name of the Washington team. We are pleased to see the team taking a first step towards change.”

                                                          Next team to change name will be the Giants. People shorter than 5'-5" are signing petitions to change the offensive name. Shorties are offended.
