As a fan of the Skins, I am fully supportive of a name change as long as it is a package deal with an ownership change.

Lol, I’m 56 and as a young kid I pulled for the Redskins and the Cowboys. I’m not sure if anyone else has ever done that.

Maybe they could just change their logo to a potato.
Or how about an Indigenous Person from Idaho holding up a redskin potato?
(Insert sarcasm emoji here.)

This is ridiculously long overdue. Snyder has been able to beat back prior name-change efforts but he probably loses this time.

Back in the day when I used to actually watch some NFL, a friend of mine used to call them the Washington Foreskins. I thought it was pretty appropriate.
Go Tigers!!!

Let’s cancel it all. I’m part Irish and terribly offended by the ND mascot. I replied to a post a while back saying the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore would have to go. Got a “ha ha ha” reply. Whelp? But seriously, the Redskins nickname is on a different level than Braves and Seminoles.

Once again, white liberals telling Native Americans what they should be offended by. Hey, why not? They (white liberals) have already hijacked BLM.
