Yeah they should just change it to the black skins right?

Shh…be careful pulling the curtain off that manufactured enemy. The truth might be too frightening and an entire media ecosystem might lose their profits. Let them have their self-righteous anger.

A few years ago…. An intramural team named themselves this:

If You Think 'Redskins' is Bad, Wait Until You Hear About Those 'Fightin' Whites'

I’m 100% on board….. I want the Commanders to change their team name to the fightin Whities!!!

Replace Fightin' with Ignorant and I think you got something.

 

[Ashevolle]

Ain't happening. Should go with the Hogs.

Washington Pigskins

Should have been DC Destroyers but that's too cool.

Think we're in a holding pattern until some info on Wingo and Jefferson shakes loose.

The OT Warren commits Monday.

Washington Pigskins

Don't hate it

Falls into the same school as Commanders…or Guardians in Cleveland. WTF are we talking about? Like naming your own team on a video game…impaired.

If there was any….. we would definitely be talking about it… this page is like a family… we discuss everything from Mayo to fightin whities…. Can’t wait till next week where we overreact to every single nugget from training camp…. My favorite time of the year.

I’ll take it.

Ok, but who said we have to fill the time with moral grandstanding and Newsmax adjacent virtue signaling?

Anyway, I’m stoked about the current state of recruiting and the future of Vol football. I have high hopes for the season and think we will continue to build on last year. I think we have a group of good leaders and good kids across all our sports.
It’s a good time to be a Vol.

How about this name? The Washington Motor Boaters!


Minor league baseball names are the best.

Could definitely happen

 

[butchna]

Wut

You’re right. Should’ve skipped over it.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

The DC Bandits

Or

The Washington Shysters



*Those are my preferences for the The Washington Commanders, formerly the Washington Football Team, formerly the Washington Redskins new team name.

**I also liked the suggestions of Hogs or Pigskins. Definitely keep it a pork theme for Washington DC. Maybe, The DC Baconators

 

[bignewt]

What’s wrong with Redskins? Even the native Americans didn’t find it offensive.

Such BS

 

[peaygolf]

Why in gods name would ANYONE care about that name?

FYI, may go see a Doughboys game tonite. Makes me sick to see that team on the rise. At yeast when they were the Cardinals, that didnt knead as much attention. Fyi, they play - yes - that's right, the Burlington Sock Puppets tonite, at the flour of 7PM.

Went to the all-star game the other night and the names were cracking me up. Sock Puppets was one of my favorites.

It is a contemputous phrase, historically.

"The researchers found that 49% of self-identified Native Americans found the Washington Redskins name offensive or very offensive, 38% found it not offensive, and 13% were indifferent."

If half of people find something offensive, I'd say that's way more than enough.

If utilitarianism teaches us anything, it's that pain is more important than pleasure and, especially, disinterest.

I don’t trust polls. The vast majority of native Americans I have ask thinks there is nothing wrong with the name at all. I don’t believe it’s close to 50-50.

 

[Orange.]

I’ve been a Washington fan for over 50 years. I personally like The Redtails nickname the best.

That is supposed to refer to hawks?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I care and I don’t think I’m nobody…

Yeah...that was overboard...sorry. You are definitely not a nobody.

The constant trashing of our country, and the incessant bitching about how much more money the men's sports make than them, when female sports are not profitable, or are barely profitable in most cases, by a lot of these female athletes has poisoned me to a degree, and that is truly not fair to the good ones.

This world we live in now just...it really gets to me, that is not an excuse..just the truth. I feel like the world we live in hates me, and I hate it back.

I apologize to you and the other common sense ladies of VN for having offended you...I love you guys, but the other ones (the w*** guys and gals, or whatever they identify as today) can kiss my crusty old A double S.
