Malapropismic Depository Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Here's an idea...might even be for another thread. But to earn a bonus for your suggestion - for every name you suggest, show how the fight song will be different. With obviously the goal being, a name that changes the fight song the least. It'd be a shame to trash an entire fight song, that was by far the best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like an under-the-table deal, where we get to hire our own personal Refs for each and every game. And we get a personal ball deflater. And webcams with audio, for the practice fields of every single team, and their locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking he meant like red-shirts in college football. Here's an idea - it's very possible that someone has already suggested it, and I was unawares. But take a nickname from one of our team units during the championship years, that doesn't relate to the same name, just the era. That way, we take away from that successful era. Washington Posse Washington Fun Bunch Washington Smurfs Washington Hogs Washington Dirtbags Washington D.O.D. Okay, Dirtbags was not from a successful era, but I like it because noone could make fun of our name, since we're making fun of ourselves. Of all those, I like the Posse the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I would hate for opponents to yell "You Shall Not Pass!!" whenever we threw an interception lol... RedHogs, Warboars, Warpigs - might as well csll 'em the Sweathogs and have Barbarino's face as the logo Senators, Federals, Cavalry, Black Ops - Senators used to be the local baseball team, right? **** that...Federals is too close to Federalists.

Malapropismic Depository Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Ah ok...I'm not into that stuff, so I never heard of it. Another thought - the Admin headache of thousands and thousands of ES members who will have to change their name froom Redskins507, Redskins899, etc to something else. I wonder what @Jumbo plan is for that. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetThePointsSoar Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 3 hours ago, sportsnut said: Not trying to bait. I likely agree with you on the merits of the report. I was just trying to get people to acknowledge that some native Americans find it offensive to have a mascot that symbolizes their culture even if the mascot is not offensive. Given that some would still be offended, we might want a complete disassociation with the Native American culture. 3 hours ago, sportsnut said: If we are going to change, there is merit in a full change and disassociation with Native American culture so that we don’t find ourselves having to change it again down the road. 2 hours ago, redskin301 said: I say we cut ties with all native American Themes, the new name we choose might be ok now but what about 10 years down the road, the redhawks name is kinda growing on me and we can still keep the HTTR This is easy to say because it SOUNDS right, but it's missing the point that so many of us with Native American heritage are Redskins fans BECAUSE of the NA association. While we can talk all day about the mistakes Dan has made over the years, I'm really thankful he's getting good advice and every word so far out of Ashburn is that he's insistent on continuing to honor the NA theme with whatever new name comes out of this process 2 hours ago, Califan007 said: If we removed any Native American connection to the word "Warriors", we would effectively be going from associating a name to them that they claim is highly offensive, to removing a name from them that they find highly complimentary. It would be the epitome of tone-deafness. I can see it now: "You have no problem associating a racist slur with NAs, but now that you're using a term that is highly complimentary to NAs you do NOT want to associate it with them?" Precisely. I'm getting optimistic that for once, we might actually get this right this time with a Warriors mascot and tastefully honor NA traditions to keep that history of our franchise alive.
