People in Cleveland love the Guardians name, but I agree the Redskins should be renamed because Commanders hasn’t really stuck.

I can see why they made the change. Every two-bit punk Congressional aide considers himself or herself a “commander”. Why not just name them the Washington Ruling Class?

They could bring back the name and show respect by having an Indian cultural museum at their facilities...teach horseback riding...archery,,,outdoor camping,running...emphasize the positive (not the inter-Indian tribal wars)
Since gambling is big in NFL....open a Washington Redskin casino on Indian land as well as a first class university..nearby...win...win....win...win
Half teasing...but...

Also, bring back the Washington Bullets.

A) "Wizards" is a stupid name

2) "Wizards" is culturally insensitive to the demonic entities community.

IIRC it all started with Stanford in the 70s going from “Indians” to “Cardinal”.

I like calling them Washington Commies and I’m sure I’m not the first one here to say that.

San Fran has it's Unicorns. Redskins belong in DC.

The perfect name for a San Francisco team...

There were even some liberals who don’t like saying “Washington”, because he owned slaves or something, so they would refer to it as “The Nation’s Capital Football Team”.

I had season tickets from 1962 to 2004
However, even my grandsons quit going when Joe G. left for the last time and Dan S_head continued his crap ownership...

We are the Redskins

Washington’s NBA team used to be the Bullets.

“Not something we really care about, Mr President”

I care A LOT. I don’t care about sports AT ALL, but I do care that liberal whack jobs changed the names to erase more of America’s history. We have to claw back wherever possible.

“People in Cleveland love the Guardians name,”

Not the people I know in the Cleveland area. The Guardians are named after a bridge or something...? Lame.
