        If Redskins is offensive would Blackskins or Whiteskins also be offensive?
        Is one an honor and the other racist?

        The world is pretty phucked up when neither would apiece anyone.

          Is it now The RED WARRIORS?



          WASHINGTON — The Washington Redskins are in the midst of hard discussion over potentially changing the team name, as franchise owner Dan Snyder faces growing pressure to make a permanent switch.

          The sportsbook BetOnline has the Redtails (3/1), Generals (4/1) and Presidents (5/1) as the three top name choices to replace Redskins, according to Sports Illustrated's reporting.


          The names "Generals" and "Presidents" are pretty self-explanatory as options for a pro sports team name in the District.

          RELATED: Washington's NFL team may finally be changing its name

          As for the "Redtails," the name would be an homage to black fighter pilots from World War II that flew dangerous missions in the Atlantic Theater, protecting bombers from German fighter planes.

          Another name choice floated that's not listed in the odds is "Warriors." Snyder filed for name rights for "Warriors" in the late 90s when he wanted to put an Arena Football League team in the District, according to The Washington Post.

                    28 consecutive seasons without going at least 11-5. Every other NFL franchise has done it at least once in that span.

                        Non of these teams actually retire the name

                        They all still hold the trademark.

                        I say call them out on it. Relinquish the trademark jerkoffs, let's see if you really believe in what you're doing!!!

                        If not, then it's a news story!

                            If/When football resumes I bet you'll see more REDSKINS jerseys in the stands than politically correct ones.

                                      Washington will not have any change to its color scheme. It will still use burgundy and gold. The Redskins logo on the helmet will be replaced by the player’s number in gold. The Washington Football Team will debut its home uniforms in week 1 against the Eagles.

                                      Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN.

                                      This is not a final renaming and rebranding for team; this is the name it wants to use until pending adoption of a new name in the future.

                                        They copied the CFLs Edmonton Eskimo’s.

                                        Exact same move.

                                                What of the Cleveland Indians?
                                                Indians are from India!
                                                Why would indigenous peoples have a problem with that? The logo for sure, but the name is fine.
                                                Have a baseball player with a turban on for the logo.
