Introducing your Washington Football Team!

[islandman]

That's the kind of interim name that'll stick:

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

So much for truth in advertising.

So they just dress some guy in their uniform and say he's the mascot? What's on the helmet?

"This space for rent."

 

[Curmudgeonly]

"This space for rent."

Seems appropriate for Washington.

 

[Dribble]

And now you know why all the minor shareholders have said...wanna be a part-owner of a football team? The only downside? It is owned by an incompetent ass. What? No takers?

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

I kinda wonder if Snyder isn't just being an asshole with the name.

"Make me change it? Ok, here ya go motherfuckers."

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

Or possibly he's trying to draw it out as long as possible in hopes that the winds change back, which they might but unlikely since it took so long to get the change in the first place.

The player’s number will be on his helmet.

 

[Conager]

The player’s number will be on his helmet.

Since each has a different number that doesn't sound very "uniform."

 

[surdeep]

Skins works

The DeeCees ( they could have a girl group open for them)

 

[Lazaran]

He could have really shocked the world and called them the Washington Rainbows, with a rainbow featuring all the colors of the human race. That way they could keep the primary team colors in the old logo of deep red, yellow, black, white, and brown.

A little something for everyone.

Of course that would have been too gay for the manly men who wanted to keep the Redskins name and logo.

Washington period it is.

Are you just noticing that? Uniforms for military, law enforcement officers and even prisoners are all personalized with a name or number.

Yeah, then they could have worn pink all year around.

Don't they wear tights?

What is Dan Snyder's net worth?

And now you know why all the minor shareholders have said...wanna be a part-owner of a football team? The only downside? It is owned by an

Incompetent ass, indeed!

The 55-year-old billionaire built his fortune as the founder of marketing firm Snyder Communications. Snyder took the firm public in 1996 and became the youngest-ever CEO of a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Snyder purchased the Redskins for a then-record price of $800 million in 1999. He sold Snyder Communications to communications giant Havas in 2000 for $2.1 billion in stock.

Snyder has a personal net worth of $2.6 billion as of June 2020, according to Forbes. The Redskins are now worth an estimated $3.4 billion and rank among the NFL’s most valuable franchises.

Shhhh....

You're not supposed to notice that.

Kinda like wrestling.

Also interesting to note that people would have a problem with a name as innocent as "Rainbows" but not one as offensive as "Redskins".

Hmmm.....

Competent in one field doesn't mean you are in another. Even your dumb ass knows that.

We are losing our joy and sense of humor. we have that in common with the taliban.
No one behaved in a racist way toward Natives because they were fans of the Redskins.

I can tell that you honestly don't know how tone deaf your post was.

I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing.

I'm leaning towards it being a bad thing.

People have become so comfortable in their white privilege that they don't want to be bothered with changing things that are obviously racially offensive.

Just ask yourself this question, and answer it honestly.
Does the mild discomfort that is associated with the decommissioning of a racist sports team name and logo, outweigh the pain,, and unrest caused by its continued usage???

Of course this applies to statues and military base names honoring racist traitors as well.

Are antiquated racist icons from Americas less enlightened past worth fighting for???

Aren't there better, more important things to be fighting for???

Unless they're busting heads in Baton R .... err ... Portland.

Genuine truth in advertising would be if you could abbreviate it as WTF.

Those that don't get it...will die not getting it. They aren't the future. Once dead...no one will care. Sucks being them.
