@@leogetz3570 Washington Blackfeet ought to become the name of the team. The wetzel family are Blackfeet tribe members. Chief 2 Guns was a Blackfeet chief. They designed the Chief 2 Guns Logo other Native Americans are strongly opposed to the name. So the team ought to be named after Chief 2 Guns tribe, The Blackfeet
@@3pound Umm well if you want to be technical our name is actually Niitsitapi meaning the people. I am Southern Piikani, my grandmother was full blood, I am a little over a quarter. I never got to live on the reservation like some of my cousins did. Though I have been learning more about heritage since I have gotten older. Trying to learn the language currently. Anyway you’re right as far as Black Foot being our northern members name, but we are all one tribe, just some of us are split up in Canada. *(I know we have different factions but we are still one tribe. I am proud that our people have been able to hold on to more of our culture and are still teaching the language and culture to the young. Some tribal nations have lost a lot of their native language and culture because it was outlawed for a time but I’m glad we were able to keep ours.) It’s a shame they changed the name! They should have asked our people first if it was offensive! Just because some blonde hair cat lady with nothing to do, gets upset on our behalf, doesn’t mean we find it offensive. If they didn’t want to call it Red Skins, they could have gone with our native name or even Black Feet if it was to hard to say. *(Though some other liberal would have twisted it and said it was racist against black people even though we were called that because of the bottom of our moccasins. This is why cancel culture is so regressive! Everything is racist no matter what. It’s a shame)
When you’re not native it is, especially as a Blackfeet lol. Lotta family I know like Washington but pretty disingenuous to say that you don’t see how some non native dude wearing his imagination of regalia at a football game is kinda wack
Big business are experts at playing people of against each other. When we’re fighting over race, gender, income level and politics,big business and the government get by with murder.
I think that had to with some dude who bought up and copyrighted a bunch of domain names of possible logos. Either way, it seems to me "commanders" is moving away from the Native American heritage the team embraced from it's beginnings
That sucks. It was the only reason i was a fan or bought gear. Im native from Northern California. Growing up, there was a time when the Rez had at least 3 houses at one time with Redskins curtains in their home windows.
@@JaejoongPrincess That logo and the name Redskins was out of respect for the resilience of the American native warrior. It was a source of pride. It's hard to believe an adult wouldn't understand how it was meant. Doing away with native American symbols all together is their solution?
I keep hearing so many stories, I don't know what to think. Are going to anything about the cheifs, Braves or the Blackheads? If not, then it's not fair for this to be.
Because it was and still is a non issue. When the team comes under new ownership the first thing the new owner should do is change the name back to Redskins.
@@BFaluup redskin is not that bad 🤔 huh. You should really ask the natives how they felt all these years. The natives were never once a petty situation.
So these investors decided that slave labor in China wasn't a deal breaker regarding Nike , but sponsoring a football team was? 🤣🤣
yep.... pretty much
Yep if it makes you money then it’s A ok to them
I think the people behind the name change should get the team named after them.....The Washington Foreskins
Man stfu, I stg dawg
Sounds like they got the opinion of the elite of the American Indian community not the opinion of the people on the ground.
Yeah, I was waiting for "members" of the Blackfeet tribe to give their opinions

To me, “Redskins” means strong, tough, a person you don’t want to mess with. A Warrior!
when we played cowboys and indians as kids, we had no idea we were racist.
@@randallfloyd4476nothing is racist because everything is racist
I thought "members" implied more than one opinion was going to be given
why not the Washington Blackfeet?
@@DannyManny98 only according to white people with a complex.
@@DannyManny98 when everything is racist, nothing is racist.
Washington Black foot
@@roland0mota no, it would be blackfeet. Blackfoot is the name of our sister tribes up in Canada. Blackfeet is the name for us in the united states.

And yet the Chiefs still do the tomahawk chop and keep their “offensive” name by woke standards.
A chief isn't a racial slur
Face paint was offensive and wearing feathers, first i ever heard of people being offended by it

It's funny how the Blackfoot tribe gave the team permission to use the logo.
@@ssfc117 you are a idiot
@@ssfc117 the Blackfoot tribe gave the Redskins permission to use the logo. at least know what you’re talking about

Keep the logo and change the name to "Warriors". Problem solved.

@@DannyManny98 Yep!
"Hail to the Redskins!" Down with the Waffling Foolish Trade and it soon to be upcoming pathetic new Team name.
Vikings are angry too!! Change the Vikings team name!!
Blackfoot?? Oh NO!!
Afrikan American Foot is better!!
That sucks.
It was the only reason i was a fan or bought gear. Im native from Northern California. Growing up, there was a time when the Rez had at least 3 houses at one time with Redskins curtains in their home windows.
And the dream catcher technology. The whirlwind dreamer. J A C. I actually can grit my teeth in reserved anger and I shed tears.
THE Washington Blackfeet ought to be the name (Chief 2 Guns was Blackfeet)
We are related to 2 guns and we liked the name and logo, sad to see it go
No longer political correct, so, I guess "Red Man Chewing Tobacco" will have to change their name too.
They did lol
The reason they're offended because their skin not red, the red man name changed to African American
LoL
Not even close to true
So COMMANDERS is better somehow? Like a white owner now commands a team of 90% black guys…. 🤔
It always has been that way, at least now it's honest
Keep the native Americans out of sight and out of mind. Good idea.
Exactly.
What do you mean by that?

Rivals the lumbee logo too.
Change the name all you want, but please keep the logo.
Why aren’t they the color of the logo if they are the real Indians 🤣🤣
Dude black folks originate in Africa
that's your mother land.
So the pilgrims and so-called natives can’t see that this has absolutely nothing to do with them?!?! SMH
Omg your dumb
You’re one of those who think black people are real native Americans huh

@@GODGENE000 proof? Stfu
@@shayneyates2196lol the logo is a colored man just saying
Washington Redskins.
I don't understand how they say BLACK FEET but none of their feet are BLACK🤷🏾♂️
They painted their feet black
Because that's a apodo they had
Nickname . Just like black guys
Call their girlfriends shorty and majority of black women are tall .
How has it taken this long?
Because it was and still is a non issue. When the team comes under new ownership the first thing the new owner should do is change the name back to Redskins.
