I hope they never change the name. Long live the Redskins!!!
Fuck off

the Redskins name has been here since 1933.... If it wasnt changed before Im sure it aint changing anytime soon.
The Washington Bullets were around for like 40 years and changed their name due to negativity.

The word Redskin is a racial slur, plain and simple, screw stupid ass sports history.

Just watched the video and it was very touching but Im still a Redskins and Indians fan since i was a kid.... not gonna change unless the teams switch it, im very sure when they came out with the team names and mascots they were paying tribute to Native Americans, just my opinion tho.... Even had 3 natives say whats up and chopped it up for a quick minute and didnt even seem one bit bothered about me wearing my gear. Like everything, some are going to find it offensive and others may not!

In 1933 Native children were still being kidnapped from reservations and placed in Christian boarding schools for forced assimilation where mottos such as "Kill the Indian, Save the Man" were plastered on signs around the buildings. Redskin was one the most used racial slurs for Native people since the 1700's.

You seriously believe rich white people in the 1930's used a known racial slur as a form of "tribute"?

lol wow

I understand what your saying and I respect that thanks for lacing me with the story..... But honestly what would some fat rich white get from investing his money and naming his team Redskins and using an Indian chief mascot?! The Redskins were the Boston Braves before changing to the other name since the Braves were taken by a baseball team, so why use it and why keep it for so long? Didnt they finally start bringin it up in court in the early 90s..... Why soooo long to sue or request the name change is what Im trying to figure out! If it changes, it changes I'd welcome the change IF and WHEN it happens.... Cant please everyone and since none of us own the team people opposed will have to keep trying

Not only that but the Redskins were the last team to integrate players. No black players until like 1963 and that only happened because of pressures from JFK. They basically forced them to intergrate or weren't going to be allowed to use the stadium. So basically this organization is rooted in racism. The owner now is a jew, most the team is black, it's time to change.
