Bring Redskins team name back to Washington?

I hope they bring back the old name, should have never changed.

he Washington Redskins changed their name in 2020, ending a nearly century-long run with a brand that, for many, represented Native American stereotypes. The move followed a surge in pressure from activists and sponsors who considered the name offensive and outdated. Amid the heightened social justice awareness surrounding George Floyd's death, former team owner Dan Snyder, who had long resisted a change, was ultimately compelled to rebrand after major sponsors, including FedEx, threatened to pull support.

In response, the franchise first adopted the temporary name Washington Football Team before rebranding as the Washington Commanders in 2022. For some fans, however, the change marked the loss of a cherished identity.

With such hard feelings towards one another in recent days I thought it would be nice to focus on something everyone can agree on: bring back the Indians and Redskins!

I will not acknowledge any team name change for dumb reasons.

I still use the following names of teams when discussing them:

Washington Redskins
Washington Bullets
Cleveland Indians
Anaheim Angels
Sacramento A's

Sorry dude, they are the CALIFORNIA Angels.

No, California Angels is BS. Never accepted that name. They had no right to claim the entire state of California, given that there are/were 4 other MLB teams in the state.

Anaheim Angels was the correct name for them. Los Angeles Angles is BS. Nobody from LA is an Angels fan, and they're not even in LA County.

I liked the name California Angels. Just like the Golden State Warriors. When I was a kid I’d spend two weeks every summer in Orange County. Not once did we ever ask to go to an Angels game. We’re a Dodger family!

Golden State Warriors is kinda stupid, too. I never understood why that name was chosen. Didn't want to be associated with Oakland?

For some reason, it still feels more natural than the California Angels. Maybe because California has fewer NBA teams than MLB teams.

Redskins logo was the best of all raiders close behind, i wasn't even aware they moved

[Jayjami]

So the federal government should have the right to tell a businessman what the name of his business should be? And you call yourselves conservatives? That’s pretty funny.

BTW, I thought they should have kept the logo and changed the name to Warriors. The logo is pretty bad ass, and I can’t imagine it being offensive to Indians. Unlike Chief Wahoo, with that ridiculous feather, bright red skin, and those massive Chicklets.
