The whole entire world used to be racist and most nations at some point held slaves, yet we’re the country that gets blamed for ALL of it, even though we’ve actually done more for minorities than any other nation in history.
I’m not gonna’ participate in this phony blame game.
You are correct. It’s gone too far to give a damn what they do. The NFL is over for me. All teams should just change their mascots to “Kneelers” or “BLM Butt-Boys”.
“Will anyone have to balls to kneel when the black anthem is played?”
...doubtful. If they do it’ll be followed by a public apology and a ruined career/life.
I’m and advocate of changing the team’s name to the Washington Blackskins, since most of the players are Black, most of D.C. is Black, and most of PG County where they play is Black. It’s the perfect name for that team!
By the way, I was a Redskins fan when I watched Sammy Baugh lead the team to victory in the old Griffith Stadium. That would have been in the years 1948-1952. Old #33, Slingin’ Sam the Redskin man! THE GOOD OLD DAYS!
The name change was done to placate FedEx who writes a $200 million check to the team.

I think that’s a convenient way to pass the buck, but one thing’s for sure: Starting yesterday, UPS will be getting the entirety of my package delivery business!
All these teams can crash and burn.
What will replace them will represent the nation better.
Tired of this nonsense.
I love my nation.
Vast majority of Native Americans support the Redskins name.
Snyder’s an idiot for buckling to the PC crowd. If he loses sponsors so be it.
Agreed. I don’t give a flip what the Negro Felons League does. Well, except I would love to see them all go broke.
I don’t care what the NFL does anymore. They are dead to me.
“They gave them the inch”
Maybe a good new name would be the Washington Foreskins.
It’s been FedEx Field since 1999. Why is it an issue now? If they didn’t like it, it should have been an issue 21 years ago.
People don’t want it. Things are so ridiculous that anytime some stupid libtard tweets something, boom it’s done.
“Why is it an issue now? If they didn’t like it, it should have been an issue 21 years ago.”
It’s FedEx’s money, it’s their business, it’s their choice.
Snyder was a pussy. I would have told everyone that the name stands until the grass doesn’t grow, and the sun quits rising. If they wanted the name change, buy the team and do what you want. The going price is 50% higher than the highest pricing for any NFL team. I am thinking that is about 5 Billion, so 7.5 or shut up.
Should change to having no nickname. Call them the Washington DC NFL football team.
It the 28 or 29 percent don't like it there are other football teams they can choose to become fans of.
Snyder is a moron. Everybody knew this day was coming years before he bought the team. He should have changed the name day one. And now with the harassment scandal he’ll probably, hopefully, be driven from the league. He is a complete moron, a terrible owner, he’s destroyed a proud franchise with crappy decision after crappy decision. The NFL should have driven him out a decade ago.
Slow down what? My typing? I get shots in my eyes these days.
