Makes me glad I'm a Dolphins fan.
shareDolphins rape! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/wildlife/9172937/Dolphins-resort-to-rape.html
I'm outraged, change their name NOW! 😂
Should be the Cowards.
Wonder how the local Native American tribes that have supported keeping the name are going to take this?
Good. LOL.
This was a long time coming.

CNN says the new name won't be announced today.
The Washington Caucasians.
shareUniversity of Northern Colorado renamed their team the "Fighting Whites" in 2002 to show how offensive it is.
white people werent offended and bought the shirts by the truckload.
then the university was offended that white people werent offended and added a disclaimer to the shirt "Fighting the use of Native American stereotypes" to make sure people know they should be offended!
Hilarious. "You're meant to be outraged!"
shareI think the "Fighting Whiteys" would sound even better! But let's go all out and be historically accurate. Just call them the "Former Slaveholders" or "Rocky Mountain Rednecks".
actually Fighting Whities was an alternative shirt.

those names are pretty good too! you could make a bundle! put Whippin' some ass on the back
too... big bucks. Rocky mountain rednecks.... sounds like beer and monster trucks! Good stuff!
I ordered a few Redskins shirts on Saturday knowing they will be collectors items.
Looks like I ordered right in the nick of time.
I don't understand why white people find this name offensive. Actual Native Americans don't find it offensive.
The logo is awesome, a shame its gonna be lost. Just like the team!
shareI agree! It was one of the best logos in the NFL.
shareYep, I never thought of that iconic logo disrespectful, but the exact opposite!
I'm gonna look up a Redskins t-shirt on Amazon, and I'm not even a fan!
I do like the logo, and I sometimes wonder that we might just quit thinking about Native Americans entirely.
Was always bummed when people thought Chief Wahoo for the Cleveland Indians looked like a drunken fool. I liked that big ol' beaming smile. So no, I'm not 100% about change, but as they say, it's not my ox that's being gored.
I've come across this claim a few times. There have been tribes supporting the Redskins name? Could you link to something showing that? I can believe it about a of of the nicknames. IIRC the Seminole tribe actually voted to approve of Florida State keeping their nickname.
Much harder to believe that about the "Redskins" though.
I live near a reservation and I dare say that if you referred to them using that word, in the presence of actual Native Americans, you might just end up getting your ass kicked. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be happy about it.
My face flushes red very easily, and one very hot day I was getting gas while on a reservation, and the guy who worked there essentially said something like, "You're more of a Red Man than me." Still makes me laugh.
