That shit would never be changed. It is named after Paul Brown, a legend that created many of the practices still used today. Also the first coach to bring in African-American players.Quote:

You really think the people bitching about being offended know or care?Quote:

Washington's logo has been an Indian chief since 1971. It was designed by Native American Walter “Blackie” Wetzel to depict a member of the Blackfeet tribe.
Wetzel grew up on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana and was eventually elected president of the National Congress of American Indians in Washington, D.C.
He was instrumental in the Redskins franchise logo change from an “R” to the current depiction of a Native American.
According to Wetzel's son, Lance, the logo is not offensive, but rather evokes a sense of pride.
"Everyone was pretty upset (about the change)," Lance Wetzel said. "Everyone understood the name change we were all on board with that. Once they weren't going to use the logo, it was hard. It takes away from the Native Americans. When I see that logo, I take pride in it. You look at the depiction of the Redskins logo and it’s of a true Native American. I always felt it was representing my people. That's not gone"
The Redskins logo is a picture of John "Two Guns" White Calf, a Blackfeet Chief who also appears on the Buffalo Nickel.
So he's upset about the logo, not the name change. Sensational fake news title.
They're upset about being cancelled. Just like Aunt Jemima's family.Quote:

SJW solutions to these dumb issues is to just erase minorities from things altogether. Because they're so not racist.
My point is they even state they understand the need for a name change. Your title states they're upset about the name change.
For a group that screams fake news, y'all sure share plenty
Notice though how he doesn't say "Everyone was pretty upset about the name" but rather they just understood the "need" for a name change.Quote:

Almost exactly what happened with the proposed changes for GS; a bunch of white people felt things needed to change and a bunch of other white people say they "understood the need for change" even though they never originally gave any of it a second thought.
