Former Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano Supports Washington Reverting Back To ‘Redskins’ Name

BIS

The debate surrounding the Washington Commanders’ name change has been swirling since the team officially dropped the Redskins moniker in 2020. But recently, it seems that voices in favor of returning to the Redskins name have only grown louder, with fans, players, and even NFL insiders weighing in.

Former Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano and ex-Washington Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat are two notable voices who have expressed their desire for the Redskins name to return. In an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Pagano candidly admitted his support for the return of the Redskins name, saying, “They should go back. That’s why I said it.” According to Fox Sports, Pagano even joked that he’d be first in line to sign a petition for the name change. MORE

  1. Growing up in a DC Suburb I was a life long Redskins/NFL fan. I haven’t watched a singel NFL Football game since the name change. Two people I know canceled their season tickets, as well.

  2. This needs to happen. The perpetually offended pushed the change because “it offends the Native Americans” without caring that the name and icon was an honor to the Native Americans. They created the logo to honor the chief it represented.

    They have been pushing for it to be returned.

    They believe that the white man is erasing them.

    Now they have to bring back the Indian women on the butter, Land ‘O Lakes and Aunt Jemima!

    What we need to get rid of are the perpetually offended!

  3. They should go back to ‘The Washington Football team’ with no logo. A reminder of the emptiness of the woke project and the essential vacuousness of the city in which they are based. Very appropriate.

  4. Let’s go all the way and call the team the Washington Filthy Savages¹.

    I mean, if we’re gonna piss ’em off, we should REALLY piss ’em off.

    1. I’m referring to all sorts of the current denizens of D.C.

    Or a logo with a red potato.

    (Someone here suggested that a while back and I really liked it!)

  6. Once you break the glass, it’ll never be the same.

    The NFL chose to willfully give its true fans the finger, more than once.

    Keep your kneeling, your alternative “national anthem”, your probing cultural experiments, your hypocrisy and proud gansgsta culture, and
    stick your entire league up your ass.

  7. I don’t give a flying fuck about the NFL anymore; baseball is my sport. Go Dodgers and sorry to see the mariners not make the playoffs again this yr. and come up one game short of a wildcard. At least they weren’t the Chicago White sux who went 41-121 this baseball season and became the worst MLB team ever.

  8. geoff – I don’t give a flying fuck about the NFL anymore;

    Apparently Haslem doesn’t either! The fool bought into that worthless bum Watson who sucked up (and still sucks up) a significant portion of the payroll, acts like an asshole, is not a team leader and produces nothing!

    I suggested the Washington Washing Machines — for the money laundering stuff they do.

    Great idea! Right on the money (SWIDT?)!
    Made me think of brand names, and thus: Washington Speed Queens.

  10. I like the name Washington Servants myself. Possibly that would remind all the senators, representatives and bureaucrats of what they really are. I know, fat chance of that!!

    The CWS last World Series win was 2005. The team has reached the WS only 5 times in its history, winning 3 times. It went 40 years from 1919 to 1959 without a WS appearance.

    The Cubs are not much better, except it has more WS appearances – the team has 11 WS appearances and has won 3 times.

    Only six WS titles for Chicago over a combined 121 years.

    The joke has its origins, sort of, in a short-lived pro hockey team in Toronto as part of the now defunct WHA. The team name was Toronto Toros, making use of alliteration as the only reason for the name.

    Harold Ballard, then owner of the established Maple Leafs, called the new rivaL team the Toronto Lawn Mowers.
