It doesn't matter what they rename them. They'll continue to suck as long as Dan Snyder owns them. And that is coming from a former (and I emphasize former) fifty year Redskins fan.

Every NFL team should join Pittsburgh and adapt the name Kneelers.

I remember I had a Datsun and took it to Mexico. They couldn’t pronounce the word. Called it Dapson.

This is what really bothers me about the entire business.
The logo of the Washington Redskins has always been a very dignified, iconic representation of the American Indian.
A 2016 poll indicated that 90% of Native Americans had no objection to the name.

(My High School sweetheart was a proud Cherokee, whose mother was born and raised on a reservation. He was intensely proud of the Redskins.)
At a time when we don’t hear much about the aboriginal Americans, doing away with the Redskins name and logo will just relegate them further into obscurity.

I may or may not belong to an anonymous group. I’d hate to sully the name we drunks flock to.
Maybe Q-anon

Rename them to the Blackskins; since the majority of the players are.
By 2020, 70% of players in the NFL are black.[39]
Betcha even THAT would not make 'em happy!
