The only way we will get the name Redskins back, is if we have a huge event get all of the Indian Chiefs nationally to sign there name for approval, and then actually tell the story of how we got the nickname and the honor that it brings. Then we can celebrate! That the way to do it!

[@_The_Rake]

That will never happen. They are too divided on the name. Even Blackie Wetzel's family doesn't agree. His grandson fought to have the name changed. If they wanted keep the name, they should have fought for it before it was changed. The old name is not coming back. Best that we find a new name that doesn't suck like the current one and move forward.

Red Wolves is the perfect replacement. The problem is your going to have to pay ASU if you want to use it. ASU told the South Carolina team they could remain using the name if they paid royalties so I'm pretty sure they'd let us use it if we send some cash their way. The big question is does Josh Harris see that as a smart business move or not. Personally I think he'd make ten times the money from Red Wolves merch than he will from Commanders merch. I refuse to buy anything Commanders.

If anything, we should be called the Washington Warriors. That way we can keep the Indian Logo, still use the W at times and even the arrow, and it would pay respect to Native Americans!! No one can say that being called a Warrior is disrespectful.

[@mjoriginals]

Commanders was a cop out choice. Dan and crew thought that by choosing something like that they could say they were honoring the military to reverse the bad press they were getting. I bet not even they loved the name but they knew it was the safest thing they could do from a PR perspective.

[@_The_Rake]

Odds are Dan saw a chance to make some money off the the military association. Get some of that U.S. Government money by having numerous celebration days for all branches of the military.

I get that Snyder sucks and I’m glad he’s gone. But the name getting changed wasn’t his fault. He was basically under threat of blacklisting and had a financial gun to his head.

[@_The_Rake]

I'd argue that this whole thing is Snyder's fault. When the groups wanting the name changed started pursuing legal options, Snyder did every disingenuous thing he could rather than working with and listening to them. He tried to use the Wetzel family's relationship as a weapon against the groups and in turn caused the Wetzel's to hate him. His Original People's fund was a complete farce and quit providing any money after a couple years. Had he actually worked with them we could have possibly only changed the name and kept the logos but his actions made them want any Native representation removed from the team.
