Washington Silly Nannies

The NFL team formerly known as the Redskins will go by the Washington Football Team for at least the 2020 season, giving the organisation time to choose a new, full-time name.
Gone is the Indian head logo and the name Native American advocates have called a dictionary-defined racial slur.
Here to stay are the burgundy and gold colours that are synonymous with the franchise's storied history.
Executive vice-president and chief marketing officer Terry Bateman, who was hired on Monday to oversee the name change and rebranding process, called the temporary design "a nice link between the history and the future".
"This is an organic kind of move," Bateman said in a phone interview on Thursday (local time).
"We wanted to think it through and really try to figure out what is the best approach for us, for the community, for the fans, for everybody, and came to the conclusion that what we wanted to do was to go slow with the renaming process and really be very thoughtful, very inclusive, respectful and all those things.

Hahaha. Alrighty then.
Wait until they receive the letter demanding compensation from the owner of the trademark!!!!!!
“Native American Advocates” means white leftists.
Football was founded by white racists and played by white racists in the early days. It needs to be banned!:

That’s mislabeling.
It’s remarkable that this team was so thoroughly unprepared to deal with this. It’s not like this pressure to change their name just came out of nowhere.
Sort of rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it?
I guess announcers will just say “Washington” instead of “the Redskins.”
Quick - move a team to Washington state and watch the fun!
By the time they settle on a new name, the NFL will be extinct. (hopefully)

WFT.
WTF?
But ... wait ... wasn’t Washington a slave owner?
The Borg, I’d prefer.
What a dumbass name!
Although "KissSJWButtes" would have been more appropriate.
Yup. I will never watch another NFL game.
Dumbasses works for me. Butt i wont see it anyway.
Yup
“This is an organic kind of move?”
That is a great rename for the Foreskins.
The Washington Organs.
Bateman is hired to do a spin move and fumbles the ball!
The NFL is dead for me, ruined by PC and black thug “culture.” This will free up a lot of time for many ex-fans, save money for the gamblers too.
The NBA is gone and MLB is looking for trouble too. All because the owners and the commissioners could not deal with disrespectful players.
They chose to join them and have shit in their own mess kits!
It’s the Washington football team for sale, name it what you want. Who wants to buy a NFL football team right now?
Fire sale
