Why should they change names? It's their name. They are known by it. A lot to be said in favor of name recognition.

 

[Canon Shooter]

Actually, it looks like FedEx has sent a request that the name be changed. The owner of the team, Dan Snyder, has always said he would never change the name...

Who fucking cares, do you not yet get it, professional sports are a significant part of the problem, that you care about them one whit indicates you are a significant part of the problem! Set your fucking minds free, and your body will follow, stop hero worshiping at the altar of Marxist/Leninism, turn off the fucking television, tune out the multi-millionaire athletes, most of whom haven't the real world ability to work at the local stop & rob, let alone run one! Stop feeding the hate your fucking time and money, achieve that and you can truly refer to self as "WOKE!!

Finally! The Landover Redskins would be a much more accurate name.

They should name it the Washington Americans without hyphenation. Pocohontis may have some good sized team members in her family....I wonder if they're recruiting lawyers and MBA's ?

FedEx investors didn't buy naming rights. Screw them.

LnadCRUISER Skins would be more green and reliable

Snyder has apparently jellied.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Are they finally getting rid of the name Washington?

FedEx investors didn't buy naming rights. Screw them.

From my link:

"In 1999, FedEx became the naming rights partner for the Redskins' home stadium on a 27-year deal worth $205 million. FedEx Chairman and CEO Fred Smith holds an ownership stake in the NFL franchise."

If FedEx decides to sever ties with the Redskins over this, that's gonna' hurt.

Nike has also removed any reference to the Redskins from their website. Every other NFL team is listed:

It's offensive to Catholics...

They are being threatened to be denied use of their new stadium if they don’t kowtow.

Dan Snyder, who is the owner of the team, has previously said that he will not be changing the name, despite an increase in criticism of the name as offensive to Native Americans.

Yea, anti-Catholic sentiment seems a bit out of place. Clerics don't seem to be the big snowflakes that racist liberals are.

I would bet not most Catholics. Just a few being paid, I mean ‘donated to’, to find it offensive.

No one's giving me a dime and I find it offensive. My desires, wants and wishes need to be catered to and I shall not be questioned.

I'm just following the precedent set by the left...
