Change officially announced. New name not announced yet though.

Knowing Daniel Snyder though, he’ll probably just change it to the D.C. Redskins

That sounds like a soccer team.




I’m not starting a separate thread, but while the Washington Whatevers look for a new name, they’re now being swamped with sexual harassment allegations


Fifteen former female employees of Washington NFL team allege sexual harassment in workplace, per report

How about the Washington Redskin potatoes !? They could take away the Native American logo and have a picture of some Red skin potatoes !!:cool::D

Hoping Red skin potatoes don't have to stop being called that ! Alert to all produce depts. in grocery stores ! You must cease to call them Red skin potatoes and think of a new name !! :crazy::lol:

I think they should be called The Washington Braves...that was their original name when they were in Boston.

PS...most Native Americans are indifferent with teams named after their next-of-kin nor they care less about Christopher Columbus....

Humans ARE their own worst enemies....

Washington Indians for this upcoming season as unofficially temporary.
Washington Warriors for this next season as officially permanent.
