How many teams share a name with a vehicle or former vehicle model in the NFL? A ton. Out of all the unused vehicle models out there, I like DC Armada the most. Ugh.

MartinC Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 General warning - it’s going to be impossible not have politics come into this discussion. And that’s fine - to a point. Anyone screaming gratuitous insults at ‘Libs’ or ‘MAGATs’ (wether aimed at a specific poster or just in general) with no actual content arguing a point about the name change is going to be on the wrong end of a ban quickly.

Jumbo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 i think we should make the new name as inclusive as possible and one that properly represents that largest majority of all people everywhere "the washington morons" that way it's also historically accurate and then we could say all the time (inc.here and now) "i bid you farewell and good luck morons" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know what it is) Im shocked anyone thinks that the PC / Offended Mob would stop with the Redskins... there has been groups protesting the Chiefs, Braves, Indians etc. for as long as there has been groups upset with the Redskins. Once the Redskins name is changed "they" will move on to the next in line. Peter King and the like will soon start referring to the Chiefs as the "team in Kansas City"... https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/3862967-native-american-groups-protest-kansas-city-chiefs-nickname Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the Washington bureaucrats. Seriously I would be fine with Braves if they want to keep the Native Indian imagery and etc. But I think they might want a bigger change - so Warriors would be my second choice.

There's nothing offensive about Chief though, it's even a position in our military, it's a title or position. I don't think there's really a comparison.

It’s not just that it’s a slur but that they don’t want a team named after them. That’s why they also dislike the Braves, Indians, Chiefs, and Warriors.

First off, it's been over half a millenium since Columbus bumped into them. We know this isn't India. And that mascot is a bad caricature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

httrMP Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The Skins are just the tip of the spear (pardon the pun). Once they are forced to change, KC will be next as the argument will be made that appropriating the culture into fandom with the feathers and chop is also too offensive. Cleveland Indians and Chicago Blackhawks will go the same route as the Chiefs. Then who knows how far this thing will go. Will the Vikings be deemed offensive by enough Scandinavian people to bring about a debate? Will Notre Dame Fighting Irish piss off the wrong person? Will the Giants be forced to change because it offends people with acromegaly? Will the PETA people rise up and demand any team with an animal mascot change? Or people could just grow up and realize that teams are named after people/things that are admired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as long as the Chiefs are using an arrowhead, and use the Native American mascot/theme they aren't associated with a position in our military. Its a matter of time. YOU might not think there is a comparison... just wait. The Redskins are just the first to fall. Indians, Braves etc. Will be forced by the offended to change next.
