Redskins to reveal new name 2-2. How ‘bout “pale face bad”?*

[DeeDave]

I’m supportive of the name change.

I like Hawgs but Commanders would be good.

 

[rogue cock]

They could rename the team the Potomacs, which is the English spelling of the tribe that inhabited that area, if they recieve their permission to do so.

 

[uscclassof74]

Crackers.

FWIW...there are 4 stars on the new jerseys. My guess is Generals or Admirals.

 

[polo-loco]

I believe The Washington Soy Boy's would be more apropos. Furthermore, they should change the stadium name to "Millennial Beta-Male Field." This would further provide a feeling of a "safe space" to enjoy the events. I see avocado toast and strawberry flavored beers with an orange slice garnish available at the concession stands. Not to mention, several hair dying booths throughout the stadium. Should be a BLAST!

I'm a Gen X, sitting right between the feuding generations. But I do find it weird the the draft dodging, flaccid generation that needed a blue pill to procreate is so obsessed with "betas." Seems awfully Low T to an outside observer.

 

[polo-loco]

I like Washington Football Team. Sounds kinda badass in a throwback way.

 

[USC148360]

They should go Washington Football Club or Red Wolves

Interesting pivot from discussing a team name change. I see you have trouble with staying on topic, Mr. Gen X.

 

[thebittertruth]

How about the Washington Disappointment? It conveys the feelings of that organization's fans, plus the country with how that town operates.

 

[Captain Weegie]

Let's go ahead and bring back the Bullets. That was perfectly descriptive a couple decades ago.

Washington Corruptors

Probably because it is named after an actual tribe rather than a generalized name that has often been used in a pejorative manner. As already noted the Utes and the Illini tribes have also approved the use of their tribal names.

Washington Potomacs? Political correctness often comes at the expense of common sense.

Like the Charlotte Football Team, the Atlanta Football team, etc.

What isn't common sense about naming a team the Potomacs, especially since they historically inhabited that region?

IMO, it is no different than Jasper County trying to find descendants of the old Yemassee tribe in order to claim land and start a casino operation there. Jasper County is in dire need of revenue sources since much of the land in the county is under agricultural exemptions because of the timber companies and the RRs who also raise timber on the land they own.

Sorry, buddy. I got back on topic on my next post.

 

[capngamecock]

Redskins is a good name. Rolls off the tongue. Washington Redskins. Sounds like a football team already!

Southern Jasper County is getting some economic spillover from the growth in Southern Beaufort County. But you're right - they need help.

It's funny but every time I have looked at the WFT, I keep thinking WTF.

 

[TexasCox]

Washington Forked Tongues

 

[jimnasium]

Washington Term Limits.

 

[caughtlookin]

Washington Rednecks?

 

[Gamecock4evr]

Red Commies would work!

Interesting. What else have your rwm overlords told you to be scared of?

 

[Carolina Doc]

They can still be the Washington Redskins.

 

[Bud Wiser]

FWIW...there are 4 stars on the new jerseys. My guess is Generals or Admirals.

Every photo I’ve seen has 3 stars inside the collar. I’d assume that is a star for each Super Bowl win.

Still could be the name though. The helmet looks like it’s a matte finish, but might change tints from the very front to the crown, though that may just be the lighting.

 

[importcock]

How about something perfectly fitting the DC area like "Worthless Assholes"?

The helmet has a big gold W on it. They didn't think to blur the reflection in the window above Riverboat's head. 🤦‍♀️

Washington Wabbits! Because it’s all a cartoon in DC! Bugs Bunny fits in with Daniel Snyder and POTUS!

Bless your heart.

Foreskins!! 😂

 

[Bftboy]

The Insurrectionists - "We'll storm the field like we did the Capital" or "We'll sack your QB like we sacked the Capital".

 

[Garnet#19]

Washington Admirals per Boomer Esiason.

 

[tigerhater_1]

The Insurrectionists - "We'll storm the field like we did the Capital" or "We'll sack your QB like we sacked the Capital".

FACT CHECK: As of 1/6/22, no person involved with the Capitol Hill Protest has been charged with "insurrection."

Gotta call out the misinformation coming from the peanut gallery.

 

[Gamecock Jacque]

I remember years ago when pressure started mounting to change their name The Onion had a headline that went something like:
Washington Redskins to be renamed DC Redskins.

 

[Gamecock Jacque]

no person involved with the Capitol Hill Protest has been charged with "insurrection."

In fact a lot of them have been held for almost a year with NO charges at all.

 

[caughtlookin]

Just remembered about these guys, the losingest club in all of sports. So I don’t think the WFT will be this unless a deal has been made.

Weren't the Washington Generals the "team" that the Harlem Globetrotters used to play?
