Flack is a very good reporter
Nobody seems to have a problem with FSU's logo, the Blackhawk's logo, or even the Chiefs..which all reference native imagery. No reason they can't bring back the logo without the name. That "W" logo is predictable, cheap, corporate crap.
Because a Seminole…a Blackhawk…a Chief…..ISN’T A SLUR, clown.
100%, we want our Logo back asap!
I’ve been a fan of the Washington Redskins since 1971 and I’ll be a fan of the Washington Redskins until the day I die, regardless of what the owners choose to call the team.
I live in central Virginia, so I guess I’m blessed to be living this close to my favorite team. I gotta tell ya, though, that, as long as they stay in the VA/DC/MD area, I really do not care where their new stadium will be located. Of course it will be great for them to get a new home field, but I honestly don’t care whether or not it’s located in DC. Frankly, because of the crime problem in the metro DC area, I kind of hope that the new field won’t be located in the RFK Stadium location. Tradition isn’t worth the sacrifice of safety.
Now, if DC would get the crime in the city under control, THEN I’d be 100% on-board with an RFK 2.0.
I absolutely DO care about the team name and logo, though! I was 7 years old when I chose this team as my favorite. At that age, I didn’t know anything about football, but my older brother was getting a child’s football helmet for Christmas that year, and because my mother wanted to be fair, she asked me to pick one out of the Sears Christmas catalog for my Christmas present. At the time, I think there were only 24 NFL teams, but in the pictures that were printed in the catalog, all 24 teams were represented, so I studied those pictures meticulously for weeks before I made my choice, and I picked the Redskins because, in my opinion, the design of the helmet was the absolute best of all of them.
To this day, I still believe that the Redskins logo is the best logo ever chosen to represent any sports team and I hope the current owners of this team will listen to the overwhelming majority of the fans and return the “chief” to his rightful place of representation on the helmets of the Washington football team.
If they don’t feel comfortable with the “Redskins” name, I can live without that. There are plenty of other names that could respectfully represent the pride and heritage of Native Americans (Warriors, The Tribe, Braves, etc.), but in my opinion, sticking with the “Commanders” name and logo is disrespectful to not only the Blackfoot tribe, but to Native Americans, overall. I’m not speaking as a complete outsider; I have a high percentage of Native American blood myself, and I’m proud of that.
When Snyder (🙄) gave in to pressure and changed the name of this team, I considered the possibility of switching my favorite team to the Kansas City Chiefs. Not only do they happen to be my second favorite team, but their helmet was my second choice in the 1971 Sears Christmas catalog.
As I said, I will be a fan of the Washington Redskins until I die, but if this team continues to refuse to switch back to the Redskins logo and a Native American theme, I will always be tempted to switch my team preference. If they refuse to listen to their fans, myself included, maybe I should support another team that is more supportive of its fan-base.
I’m not trying to instigate change by making a threat. Obviously, no one will care what I decide to do as a football fan, but I have to ask… why not give the fans what they want?
Redskins will always to the name of the team
Nope
@@ColinBaird-y7vThe fans and owners want it back. I talk to people everyday that want the old logo and name. All you say is nope. Seems like you are a dope
@@patwilliams7362I’m a life long fan. I have lots of friends that are life long fans. We don’t care as long as they win. The owners know the word Redskins is a slur and they’re not changing it back for a bunch of racist assholes.
All of us want it back, but Hoffman can't get on board. How do you guys not want to honor and fix this injustice! We all want it back, players, Fans HTTR! Let's go, don't give up till we get that Logo back on the Jersey permanently!
The football gods have smiled on us.... memories will be created sooner than later... If it is '32.. relax!! Winning cures all ills...
