This might cover multiple sports but the main one is NFL soooo ... that Washington football team may finally change their name. If anyone is Native American I don’t mean to offend you and if I do I apologize in advance.
My whole family for some reason are Cowboy fans and are not big fans of this team to begin with. Growing up my dad says he was big into the whole Cowboys vs Indians and it carried over. In most cases I feel like some of the names like Indians and Chiefs are okay (but I’m also not Native American) but Redskins just seems like a very odd name. There’s no Wilmington Whiteskins, skins in the name just kind of cringeworthy to me. If they do change the name I hope they don’t go Pigskins to try and stay close to the name.
If I was Daniel Snyder though looking at the teams recent history, I would kind of want to go with a rebranding of the team to stir up sales and change the attitude of the team. I say change the name, pick a new color scheme, reboot the whole franchise. “We’ve made a lot of mistakes In the past but we are gonna reboot this entire thing so we can change our mindsets and turn this thing around.” I also think this could be a good spot to realign some of the divisions. I know some of us love Cowboys/Redskins, Dolphins/Bills but they don’t seem to be near each other. I always liked the idea of divisions being four teams near each other so that way when they play each other fans can get to either location. But that might be another topic lol.
Anyway, personally I always thought it was a strange name and think the team needs a reboot anyway. I just hope they don’t go anything typical like Warriors, Federals, Senators, etc. I see a lot of support for Washington or DC Redtails.
