    Um a guy I work with is part Native American and he said he’s not offended. It’s racist to change the name!

    Imagine if it was blackskins, or whiteskins or yellowskins Or brownskins . I don’t agree with the cancel culture of wanting to cancel anything and everything but the name needed to change A long long time ago . Red tails or warriors ,

    Clinton Portis was better on the Redskins than Adrian Petersen.

    Who is offended by a nick name that doesn't apply specifically towards them?

    Seriously, we're talking bout a random nick name.

    Wish they'd call them the Washington Orangeskins, but that's more offensive.

    They should change their name to the Washington Rednecks and put some farmers on the helmet

    They need the same number of syllables and something phonetically similar. Washington Red Hens.

    It really is amazing their name lasted as long as it did... it was really really offensive. I will say I liked their helmet and uniform as a child... then I had my mama’s friend who was 100% Native American break down what it really meant.

    Snyder is terrible for that organization and fan base so I am sure he will come up with some really **** new name like the “Lasers” or “Crabs”.
