[ahat]

Washington Glizzys

Hope they change the colors too. I always hated the color scheme and name.

 

[tr1ll]

Why can’t they just use the name of a tribe that was actually indigenous to the area?

 

[Comparison Ford]

^Probably best to avoid that theme altogether.

It's crazy to me how with all of the pushback over the years, why it didn't come sooner than this. I'm glad it's finally happening, but screw Dan Synder and his ignorance, & it being a "tradition"

Glad that the Native Americans finally achieved their goal.

There's still so much in this current worked that doesn't make sense.

 

[heelsandeers]

This makes me sick. ANTIFA and BLM are behind this nonsense.

Those libs gonna name the team Karens

or worse

the Washington Libs

Are native Americans really offended by this? Seems like something upper middle class bourgeois white women wanted

I don't think any group would be happy that a team is named after their skin color.

Native Americans have been voicing their concerns on this for decades.

The 2nd best NFL team from Maryland FINALLY decided to change its name... Too bad they’re still stuck with Snyder.

Polls can be manipulated depending on who they poll. Plus 504 people don't speak for everyone.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

Some of Dwights here are legit pissed like foaming at the mouth

it’s legit become a “much heritage” argument just in a different way

if they change the name and somehow become good I might finally be a fan. These mf been trash almost my entire life.

 

[aepps20]

All that needs to be said. Native Americans WANT THE NAME TO STAY THE SAME. THIS PERSON IS SO SHOOK HE IS CRYING.

 

[kicks2024]

Many folks are upset over here. They'll get over it.

This looks dope.

It took em long enough but we know why its happening now ....

I think they just need to get a whole new theme/name. Forget trying to honor whoever just come up with something different.

Go from a derogatory team name to now using specific group of black men from the war. Feels like something done just to be a part of the current movememt like Jerry taking a knee staring in the camera. We know how they feel deep down, dont gaf just dont want to lose out on the money

Plus if Im sure thats gonna bring Snyder and the franchise even more criticism than the "i wont support nike or the nfl anymore" crowd

 

[TURBO UNO]

Finally!
Now let’s see if the others follow

I think thatis a simplification of what the term even suggests.

You know how polls work right?
