Redskins to announce name change

[Purple Tiger]

Lol

Tons of Redskins nickname options have been trademarked by a guy in Virginia

The trademark owner has offered to give owner Daniel Snyder any of the trademarked names he owns. LOL

95+ % of attendees at men’s pro sports events are white people. Seems like a failed business model to piss down the backs of at least half their fan base.

Ironically Navajo Nation High School has the “Redskins” nickname.

It will be interesting if we do end up going without football this fall. How many diehards, never miss a game types will find another hobby or simply learn they can live without the sport.

I’ve already decided I can live without the NFL but I’d be hard pressed to live without my VOLS football

Not that interesting. The NFL has the best on-field product in sports by miles and miles, it will be fine. The collapse of the NFL is a conservative wet dream and absolutely nothing more than that

I agree the NFL will be fine but I can also see a steep decline in viewership and attendance simply because people learned to live without it.

Why would the collapse be a conservative's wet dream?

I don't understand that either.

Not showing your wokeness again. Get with it McDaddio

Remember when liberals hated football because people got hurt? "Too violent" they said.

Nash's post is confusing. Like you, I've typically seen folks such as anti military, anti American, feminists, etc go after the NFL. Those groups aren't comprised of Conservatives

 

[NashVol11]

Because conservatives are the ones constantly talking about how much little NFL they watch and complaining about kneeling/Redskins name change/players not shutting up and playing/literally everything else?

I really don't understand how this is confusing. The vast, vast majority of "boycott the NFL" people are Trump supporters (and specifically people like Justin and allvol who mention it 20x a day and try to talk up its impact). Look at any NFL thread in this forum

You obviously have "conservative" mixed up with screacher.

Well that’s not a word, but conservative, screecher, Trump supporter, whatever you want to call them

To me Football is made to be played , it’s a game not a podium . I wouldn’t pay to listen to a politicians opinions why would I pay to listen to a players opinions ? Play you game on the field , play your politics off the field . Simple , you are a consumer product , nothing more to me . Besides pro ball has no heart , no soul , no deep traditions . Meh .

I have no doubt you don't understand the differences. When you're a mindless hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Nash, it's not confusing. They are sandbagging you.

I wish I had a dollar for the number of times people said "I'll never watch another NFL game again." They were, of course, conservatives screaming about Kaepernick and kneeling during the anthem.

You are confused also. Conservatives don't give a **** about him kneeling, a Republican might but not a conservative.

In this country, republicans = conservatives. Clear now?

The NFL isn't going anywhere but if they continue to pander to radicals and commies they will do it without me. They have the right to pander to anyone they want and I have the right to turn the channel.

No, sorry but you couldn't be more wrong and you are wrong a lot.

The concern is that the people imploring the NFL to support police reform/mascot changes/re-calibration of ideals never (for the most part; exceptions, of course, exist) watched games or were a consumer of the product to begin with. I'm sure that the Redskins did a quick analysis of the cost/benefit of retaining the mascot and determined the cons outweighed the pros, but I don't think you could argue that fan support of the team is going to be increased with a switch to a new logo and nickname.

What got the Washington team to change nicknames was corporate partners bowing to the extremists.

I understand what you're saying now. And, I agree to an extent. There were vocal conservatives turned off by the "spectacle" of kneeling and protests.

I disagree conservatives want the NFL to fail. I think they, more accurately, just want it to be what it used to be.
