You will be pleasantly surprised at the name they chose. Scroll down to the statement by the Navajo President. Though I think it's silly to change the names...Cancel Culture and all...I could approve this one!

Put an NFL team in Albuquerque and Code Talkers might be OK. In Washington? If they don’t like my suggestion of “Rhinos” then just go with “Generals”. I expect they will keep the “Red”, however, for continuity - and that appears to be what the trademark squatter guessed, also. :)

How about “Washington’s Troops”, in honor of the men who fought with George Washington, whose name is the namesake of Washington D.C.. Who can’t cheer for our Troops?

I'd go with Black Elk. Nominated to become a Saint, it would drive the left nuts having a team named after a Saint, and he's as deserving as anyone to replace redskin. Alternately Pocahontas.

Washington Sellouts

Of course, that might be confusing to some. They wouldn’t know if the new name referred to the team selling out to BLM...or our Washington politicians seling out America.

When thinking about a new name for the Redskins, keep in mind that the Washington Bullets changed its name to the Washington Wizards.

The Navajos have a point, but much better to honor the code talkers with their own monument in Washington DC than to attach the name to a not so great football franchise. There also were code talkers from the Lakota people and all should be honored with an appropriate monument.

Can’t use Washington in the name either—you know they’ll be coming for that name next now that they’ve gotten the Redskin scalp.

The team emblem was modeled after a Blackfoot indian by a fellow blackfoot. They were honored at the time to be selected. Once again, its not about Floyd . . . .
