The Washington Football Team is moving closer to getting rid of its placeholder name. The team announced a deadline for name submissions to the WashingtonJourney.com website of April 5, as it moves forward with its re-branding.
The team has been known as the Washington Football Team since retiring the team’s original name and logo back in July 2020, months before the beginning of the 2020 football season.
“To re-brand something, it takes a good 18 months, at least, so here you are with just a few weeks wondering what you’re going to call the team, so why not just keep it simple?” the new senior VP of media and content, Julie Donaldson told WUSA9 at the time. “This way you don’t have to erase the history, people don’t have to say goodbye to the memories and feel like they just got totally abandoned. People can take their time in the process to say we want the fans to weigh in, we want to make sure we cross every T and dot every I to make sure that when we do finally go to that, it’s not going to be something that offends or excludes anybody.”

How about nothing? The day they changed their name was the day I stopped watching ALL professional sorts- baseball, hockey, football, even racing. I may go to a Shorebirds game, but only if they turn off that stupid blaring music all the time. Professional sports are dead to me. More free time.
Whatever.
Redskins!
NFL WHO?? Go broke if your woke
How about Washington – Sell Outs
Why don’t they call it politically correct a$$bangers.
How about either Washington Redskins (to honor Native Americans and the Native American who originally chose the name) or Washington dumbasses.
Either one works for me
Swampers
I’ll never watch the NFL again… turns out sports aren’t really important in my life don’t miss it
just call them BLM and they can blend in with the rest of the thugs
How about the Washington Hoodlums
“Swamp Dwellers” since it is “The Swamp”
The “Do Nothings” since DC politicians don’t do shit!
“Swamp Gas” since politicians are full of hot air
“LSS” since most in DC are “Lying Sacks of Shit”!
I like Washington scumbags pretty good
Washington yellow bellies or the Benedict Arnold’s!
Washington Communists!
I don’t care.
White-Skins !!!!!!
Okay, Everyone has made their own case against the Washington Redskins changing their name after 89 years. The new name should be quite simple which they should call themselves the “Washington Footballers” which is close to what they call themselves now. By changing their name to this one they will not look so generic. By the way I am a Native American and the name Redskins did not or ever offend me! Dam that Cancel Culture!
I’ll vote for “Redskins”. God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.
Who cares what they call themselves. Nobody I know watches the NFL anymore. Between the kneeling, the obnoxious behavior of juvenile acting athletes, and the whole side show that has become the NFL, I don’t know of anyone who watches. Like the comments above, I spend my time with my family and ignore The Whole pro athlete worship thing.
