We Asked Redskins Tailgaters If The Team Should Change Their Name To The ‘Washington Warrens’
Daily Caller ^ | 11/5/18 | Benny Johnson

The Redskins are having one of the best seasons in recent history.

Despite their performance this season, however, there is one thing that will never change: The controversy over the Redskins’ logo and name.

The logo of the Redskins has weathered many seasons of controversy. But there have been renewed calls for the logo to get the politically correct tomahawk in recent years. Some of the biggest names in politics have come out against the symbol of a proud, stoic-looking Native American and his feathers.

In 2015, Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid proclaimed in a speech from the Senate floor, “The Redskins name is a racist name. I find it stunning that the National Football League is more concerned about how much air is in a football than with a racist franchise name that denigrates Native Americans across the country.”

The team has not budged to the social justice pressure campaign and team owner Dan Snyder refuses to change the logo.

We at the Daily Caller decided there was a simple solution that will finally please Social Justice Warriors and Democrats alike on the issue of the Redskins name and logo. Just use a “real” Native American for the mascot.

We Asked Redskins Tailgaters If The Team Should Change Their Name To The ‘Washington Warrens’ [Benny Johnson/Daily Caller]

Harry Reid’s former Senate colleague, Elizabeth Warren, recently released DNA test results definitively showing that she potentially has 1/1024th native blood in her veins. We swapped out the “racist” image of an Indian for Warren and changed the team name to the “Washington Warrens.”

The Daily Caller’s Benny Johnson traveled to the Redskins tailgate before Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons to ask Redskins loyalists what they would think of a real Indian being the Redskins new mascot.

Their answers did not disappoint.

I’ve been trying to sell this name for years: Washington Bureaucrats

“Then when we do, they’ll be ANGRY that no one but some white guys are represented in sports.

You can’t win with these uptight self-conscious jackasses.”


A very significant part of their game plan is to constantly move the goalposts. There cannot be any standards, otherwise people will adjust to those standards and they will not rule over anybody. However if you are constantly changing the standards and everybody is just reacting to you, you run everybody’s life. Not only can’t you win, you’re not supposed to in their game.

This is why Augusto Pinochet was very wise to throw Communists out of helicopters. It’s the only way to end the game.

That San Francisco hat needs to be updated. I’m thinking something along the lines of Defecating Druggies.

If we are going for accuracy, it will be the Washington Tone-deaf Dictators. Or, for sure, the Dics.

I always thought Trump should appoint Snyder as the Chief of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

For SHORT, the Dics.

Every week they could replace the Indian head on their helmet with a picture of a current congressman or senator.

That's inclusion.

I remember when Dennis Prager had his radio show. One night he interviewed someone claiming to be a Native American “activist” demanding that the Indians, Redskins, Chiefs, Seminoles, etc change their names. Mr Prager insisted that he saw no harm in the names to which this activist replies, “how would you like it if there were a team called the Texas Jewboys?” Prager laughed out loud and said he would be overjoyed because FINALLY after 5000 years someone would be cheering for us :)

How about the “Washington Cheekbones” — I recall the Fauxcahontas was very proud of her cheekbones, alleging they are a “Native American” trait.
