Redslurs logo/name change countdown ...
It's long overdue, but I'm gonna say by the end of July the team to the south (Way south for me now) will have a new name and logo. What do you guys think?
While it should be by the end of the day, my official bet is July 20th.

Re: Redslurs logo/name change countdown ...
Good point. I'm surprised it hasn't been discussed much in the last few weeks. So many people avoid the name, calling them "Washington" or whatever, that it's always slightly shocking or surprising when someone actually says the slur.
Maybe the media or the league could force the owner into a change. If TV companies had a policy not to use the name or blurred out the name/logo on broadcasts it would put some pressure on him.
I'm ready to be called an over sensitive snowflake with censorious tendencies but an outright racial insult as a team name is utterly indefensible, tradition or not.

Speaking of...
Statue of former Redskins owner George Preston Marshall removed from RFK Stadium :
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ed-rfk-stadium
"This symbol of a person who didn't believe all men and women were created equal and who actually worked against integration is counter to all that we as people, a city, and nation represent," the statement read. "We believe that injustice and inequality of all forms is reprehensible and we are firmly committed to confronting unequal treatment and working together toward healing our city and country."

If Mrs. Butterworth is under fire, then their name and logo are too.

I hope Snyder stands strong as he has before. Native Americans have been asked about this and they’re not offended so let’s move on.

Re: Redslurs logo/name change countdown ...
Haha... Bullshit.
Just because some person or group of people said they aren't offended, doesn't mean they speak for the nation. I live in Minnesota now and the Native American community has a voice and they are playing a big role in the current climate. Land-O Lakes, Lake Calhoun renamed to "Bde Maka Ska", its Dakota name. Things are moving quickly.Last edited by MinnesotaRaven; 06-19-2020 at 05:29 PM.
