Pussies R Us.

Atlanta Braves
INDIANapolis Colts.

That means they’re going to change it.
Fine. Let some other sports team use that Redskins name.

That means it’s a Done Deal.
A name change won’t matter now. The NFL is finished. It has become so politicized and anti-American, it’s a dead duck. No true sport enthusiast will carry any love now for the “game of thugs.”
That or Washington Parasites.
Philadelphia 76ers hearkens back to the revolution as well. So that team has to change their name based on these criteria.
Many of these Teams, places etc that were given names related to Indians to preserve their heritage and they were named in good faith. TheIndians were pleased at the time. Then they got stuck on stupid.
Yep, at this point it doesn’t matter what they do. That ship has sailed.
Washington Thin Skins
The only people who are upset with these names are White Liberals.
Washington Criminals
The Indians started complaining several years back and made all kinds of demands.
