Last summer, the Washington Football Team announced it would no longer use the name "Redskins."
Team owner Dan Snyder had said in the past that he wouldn't change the name, but multiple sponsors such as FedEx and Nike (you know, the dudes who use The Kappynapper as their spokesman) threatened to end their partnerships. Even to this day, I hate seeing that symbol on so many sports teams' jerseys.
As of November, team President Jason Wright said the team was still looking into name options but could stick with just the name "Football Team."
Well, here is a suggestion, call them the Washington Wokes. Kind of has a ring to it, don't you know.
They also gave up their neat-looking feather logo on their helmets.
Now, I can sort of see how the term Redskins might be offensive to Indians, but, hey, I don't find the term Rebels or Secesh (Sesh) offensive. As a matter of fact, I like it when I'm called that.
