Polls also show two-thirds support Confederate statues/monuments too.
You wouldn’t know that listening to the mainstream media and Twitter.
My favorite replacement idea is a redskin potato placed right over the indians head, leave the feathers LOL
Yeah, but who the heck listens to the majority?
They gave them the inch
Now they’ll demand the other 5279 feet, 11 inches
I don’t really give a sh%% what those a-holes do! The NFL will be insufferable from here on out. Everything will be a dedication to BLM. Flags, commentary, items worn by the players and coaches. They’ll kneel during the anthem and then the anthem will eventually be replaced. This BLM BS will not end.
“placate a small group of online leftist agitators.”
The name change was done to placate FedEx who writes a $200 million check to the team.
the name change was sacrificed to the sexual harassment scandal that broke afterwards. they knew the story was coming out, and hoped that dumping the name would somehow decrease the screaming that they knew would ensue.
they were wrong, of course.
Hopefully over 2/3 of usual NFL fans will Just Say No! and save yourself some time, money and aggravation.

You’d think American Indians themselves would be pissed about being “canceled”.
Years ago Dennis Praeger interviewed a Native American “activist” trying to pressure the Chiefs, Braves, Indians etc to change their names (Chief Running Crybaby?). He asked Praeger hownhe would like it if there were a team called the Texas Jewboys? Praeger laughed hysterically and said he’d be overjoyed because finally after 5000 years someone would be cheering for us.
“Poll: Less Than 30 Percent Of Americans Say Redskins Should Change Their Name”
Makes no difference-corporate America is all in for the left
Who cares? The more we discuss these silly topics, the more we are perpetuating new ones. If everyone turned their backs on this crap, the “me too” crowd would not exist.
And those who say it should be changed haven’t the slightest clue why. I’ll support the change when they rename those redskin potatoes at the super.
A handful of white liberals on Twitter like to signal their virtue over an issue that doesn’t effect them at all. That’s all it takes these days.
A shining example of why we’re not a democracy. The fact of the matter is we’ve known it’s a “problematic” name for 60 years. But didn’t care and didn’t care and didn’t care, until finally, there was care. This name change has been coming for a while. The handwriting was on the wall before Snyder bought the team, it’s only because he’s a pigheaded jerk it took this long. And really he’s only doing it because his business partners want it done. Snyder is too dense to have his own ideas.
A few years ago I went to my aunts house for Thanksgiving dinner when the news was agitating to change the Redscins name. In a house of mostly Yurok indians my cousin sayed it was bullshit. Nobody disagreed.

The Redskins are swamp dwellers. 70% not germane to their team.
