The Washington Redskins plan to announce Monday morning that they will change their team name, three people with knowledge of the situation confirmed Sunday night. The team is not expected to reveal a new name until a later date.

Two people with knowledge of the team’s plans said Sunday that the preferred replacement name is tied up in a trademark fight, which is why the team can’t announce the new name Monday.

Could it be Natives? It’s a very popular rubber sneaker.

Didn’t they get the memo?
Washington own slaves and was a traitor to the Crown.

Gotta change both parts of the name.

Screw the NFL. Remember when they refused to let Rush Limbaugh buy into a team because he was too divisive?

“I’ve felt for some time that the NFL and NBA have many pre-arranged results. After the Patriots went 18–0 before losing the Super Bowl to a very mediocre Giants team,”

As I recall they were playing the Colts that season and the Colts scored a go ahead TD with just a couple minutes left in the game. The TD was called back on some obscure rule that nobody had seen called before. Moving them back away from the goal line, and there-by taking away their chance for a TD before the game finished. Other wise Bellicheat an the crew would have been 17-1. That was when I decided the whole NFL season was fixed. Haven’t paid attention to the NFL since. BTW I was not a Colts fan but they were definitely cheated out of the win.

How about the Washington Social Distancers?

They will always be at least six feet from the opposition.

This really is amazing, in one sense: Just rub out any reference to Native Americans in the large scale public eye.

I assume the Kansas City Chiefs will be next? Gotta get rid of “Kansas” and “Chiefs”.
