The perfect name for a San Francisco team...

President Trump on Sunday publicly demanded that the Washington Commanders change the team name back to the Redskins— labeling them derisively the “Washington Whatever’s.”
He also said the Cleveland Guardians should revert to being the Indians.
Both teams had rebranded several years ago due to concerns that their Native American-inspired names were offensive, but Trump argued that the pendulum has since swung back against political correctness.
“The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this,” Trump declared, unprompted on Truth Social Sunday.
“Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past,” the president went on. “Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago.”
“We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!”
In 2020, after long resisting pressure to do so, the Washington Commanders retired the old name, the Washington Redskins. For two years, they played as the Washington Football Team before eventually deciding to call themselves the Commanders in 2022.
The Cleveland Guardians announced plans to ditch its old name, the Cleveland Indians, in late 2020 — after dropping the “Chief Wahoo” logo years earlier.

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...
A) "Wizards" is a stupid name
2) "Wizards" is culturally insensitive to the demonic entities community.
What about Uncle Ben? They converted!
IIRC it all started with Stanford in the 70s going from “Indians” to “Cardinal”.
What about Uncle Ben? They converted!
Uncle Remus, who said to Uncle Ben, “You’re a credit to your rice.”......Never got a dinner!

I like calling them Washington Commies and I’m sure I’m not the first one here to say that.
LOL. Wrong again.
Especially the Land O Lakes maiden.
Typical of Paleface, remove the Indian, keep the land!
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”.
YES to this! And bring back the fight song, “Hail to the Redskins.”
Washington’s NBA team used to be the Bullets.
And the Mammys Kitchen logo in Myrtle Beach
“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.
