Washington Redskins will NEVER change name

[Gelston]

The Cleveland "Browns" - How the hell BLM isn't protesting that one I'll never understand.

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.

Most actual Native Americans don't give a shit about the Redskins name.

Like usual, this is just a bunch of pasty white liberals being offended on behalf of a group of people who aren't actually offended because they think it gives their meaningless lives purpose.

They're not doing it because of fans. They're changing names because sponsors were dropping them.

[Methais]

I'm just curious what people are going to bitch about next.

We're removing statues of confederate generals AND people like Abraham Lincoln.

We're renaming "offensive" streets.

We're renaming sports teams.

Seriously what do people bitch about next? Because let's face it, it never stops. There will never be a point in time when the outrage mob is satisfied because the outrage mob only exists to be outraged.

Taking all bets! What will be the next inoffensive object/name to go!

Next up, the word "white" will be changed to "unblack."

In Gemstone.

This week, yeah. Well sort of. I'm sure the FedEx people pushing this aren't Native American either.

But I was referring to the general whining over several years about the name, but this works too.

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

Native American Son of Redskins Logo Designer Upset About Name Change

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.

Change Redskins to Natives or some similar shit, keep the logo, problem solved without canceling actual Native Americans.

SJW solutions to these dumb issues is to just erase minorities from things altogether. Because they're so not racist.

[Alfster]

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

My point is they even state they understand the need for a name change.

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.

Yeah probably because a bunch of white people wouldn't stop bitching about it so it was just a distraction.

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.
