This is why I’ve been a huge fan of Washington Redtails: 1) it lets the team keep the fight song (with some changes) and colors 2) there’s literally no pro sports franchise that honors African American history in the us 3) DC plays a special part in African American history (it was the southernmost safe haven for slaves seeking freedom, so much that DC ceded Arlington County back to Virginia in the 1840s to force runaway slaves to have to cross the Potomac as one last obstacle to safety) I know it’s a bit wonky because the Red Tails themselves had no affiliation with the DC metro area, but it’s magnitudes better than naming a team the Utah Jazz.

Kosher Ham Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Most people that are offended by it are not even Native Americans. It's the follow the leader type of mentality that bothers me more than anything else. We"ve taken this PC thing a little too far. Pathetic.

Bonez3 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well, probably a game changer for me. I’m not a DC native and Football has become more and more unattractive over the past decade. I have defended the notion that most Native Americans do not find offensive but certainly not worth the fight. The team itself, which like you’re not does include the name, held such a deep part of my life. There are times for goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I’m fine with renaming the team to the Chonky Bois if it means I can get a stadium back in the Chocolate City. In fact, I’m gonna start a petition for Chonky Bois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I just hope we keep the colors, history, color scheme, etc. A full rebrand with a new logo and colors would be hard to get behind, especially those of us not living in the DMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
