LOL @ the Redskins

They should have been renamed the Washington Warriors and kept some of the native imagery, albeit different enough that it wasn't the face/head on the old Redskins logo.

I think they wanted to do something like that, but someone snagged the copyright on the names they wanted and basically tried to hold them at gunpoint for it

As for the old logo, there was nothing disrespectful about it in any way, quite the opposite given it was modeled after the face of a famous Blackfoot chief.

The name was funked though. The origin of that name is entwined with the capture of bloody human scalps as proof of genocide. Fuck that.

I don’t agree with your last paragraph. There was a long bloody history between native Americans and Americans and neither side was committing genocide at all.

And regardless, the name Redskin no longer carried that connotation except to hypersensitive political correction warriors looking to be offended. In reality, the term Redskin had transformed from one with derogatory intention to one that was solely associated with football, and no different or more offensive than the obvious stereotype of the drunken Irishman for Notre Dame, and certainly no more harmful.

That being said the squeaky wheels force the normal people in this country to accommodate them, so, Warriors or something similar would be better than the shit they forced on us.

Think how insane it is that "Warriors" would have been too offensive.

These people are mental.

It wouldn’t have been bad, I think someone snagged the copyright and tried to bend Snyder over some Papa Johns pizza boxes to sell the rights

What a ridiculous sense of entitlement this is.

Who the fuck does he think he is?

It's the delusion of grandeur, the belief that the attention and fame you have currently is never ending, he'll regret it in a few years after he's banged around even more by NFL defenses and is just another decent but unremarkable QB.

Basically he'll be a skinnier, non-midget Kyler Murray.

It’s remarkable how he is all but a carbon copy of that never-was, RG3

Skinny-assed kid that’s gonna get cracked wide open at some point every season.

He's a better passer but that's to be expected 15 years later, other than that they're extremely similar.

I'm sure he won't feel pressure to use his legs unnecessarily this year with their shit ass OL.
