Well, the GSW haven't used any Native American imagery since the late 60s, so that should suffice for "most recent intent." Sin seems to think that their original intent is what matters most, I happen to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should that matter, considering 1) The logo being there in the first place, and 2) the name referring to them still remained? Seems ham handed (at best).

kwitt Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Not sure this is a real possibility but it was discussed just now on Czabe show. Just be known as Washington Football Club and become the new Browns. Same jerseys stripped of name and logo. Makes a lot of sense. All of us fans who hate name change can still see what looks like our football team (for the most part) play on Sundays. We can still call them REDSKINS (oh the humanity) while everyone who is triggered can no longer come at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, certain people don't understand that when encapsulating centuries of slaughter, rape, displacement, and appropriation, or straight jacking everything that belonged to them, oh no, someones sister smiling spread wide open, more than likely pales in comparison of the hurt one might feel, seeing that depiction, targeting people who look like them... People they care about. I hope that was rational enough for you. Except "Redskins" name and logo neither contributed to nor celebrated "centuries of slaughter, rape, displacement, and appropriation" or certainly neither you nor I would be a fan....right?

Changing the name does not equate to admitting “guilt,” but it does admit to losing the argument. If some are waiting for a crawling on the hands and knees approach and begging for forgiveness for 87 years of wrongs they may be waiting a long ass time. Many still don’t believe there was anything wrong with the name or the logo. Changing the name doesn’t change that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werewolves is TIGHT. 😄 Lol what's your top choice I dunno, I go back and forth between the Warriors and Red Wolves. I just have a feeling that it's going to not be either of those and something really dumb. They have stated that there will be no NA link to the name and logo, if they go with the Warriors, they can pull that off like Golden State does, or something similar. If they go with the Red Wolves, that could make it more fun. Anything other than those two names, well, we'll see what they come up with. If it's something like the Generals, Senators, etc., I just don't think I can get behind that not being from the DMV and not having any connections to the area anymore.
