Washington’s football team has been stuck in an identity crisis since it bent the knee and ‘erased’ the Washington Redskins.
Calling the logo and NFL team name offensive to Native Americans, the Washington franchise willingly stepped out of its famed image to pursue a newer, more P.C. approach, which has gone terribly since dropping the “Redskins” in 2020.
For 87 years, the franchise held an iconic image.
One Native American group, NAGA (Native American Guardians Association), is actively working to reinstate the Washington Redskins. With leadership recently transitioning from Dan Snyder to new majority owner Josh Harris, fans hoped for a return to the Washington Redskins as part of the new era. more here
Instead of the Redskins, I would suggest the Washington Heathen Savages but that name is already commonly used to refer to the DNC and several other 3-letter govt gangs.

Still call northern pike minnow squawfish.
Great Whit Father (Liberal) says “NO”!
Native Americans is what white Lefties call them when they want to fake sensitivity.
American Indians call themselves American Indians.
@formwiz
Both are inaccurate.
Siberian migrants would be what they really are.
By the standards of native, we are all native Americans.
American Indians would suppose descendants of India, but they are from Siberia. Russian Indians would be closer.
They should sue the Left for Cultural Depropriation!
Even after Washington got manhandled by the Eagles, they must be serious.
I think all sports teams should be named after the indigenous tribes of their area.
I’m a “native American” – born in Illinois – not an Indian, though.
