"Honor native Americans and the military" makes me think the name will be stupid.

Native Americans ask for the name to be changed snyder finds/pays some Natives to say they aren't offended and don't want the name to change.

FedEx (sponsor) asks to change the name because they all of a sudden don't want to be associated with it and now it's finally happening.

It's all about money at the end of the day like it always is.

If they want to do that name the team the Washington Code Talkers. Multiple Nations served during WWI and II using their native languages as a means of secret communication. During WWII the Japanese were never able to crack their language code.

I don't think we have THOSE kind of racist on here.

Could be wrong though.

Why not?

I have no issue if they try to honor the military.

Just don't use them as a scapegoat for racist.

The military check isn't even that big, their programming at the beginning of games was just successful.
