zackster Redskins fans have been doing that for decades.

Redskins name and logo are retired. Shame it took the money to change Snyder’s mind, but it’s good to move on from this debacle.

I’m willing to concede that much of this racism stuff has nuance and can be complicated.

“Redskins” was never nuanced nor complicated. Utterly daft name. Snyder should have been lined and quartered ages ago.

I’m a Lions fan. I’m waiting for Stafford to win a playoff game. Like every season.

My man. Brutal. Had two of the best 10 players ever (IMO - Barry and Megatron) and haven’t managed to pull anything together. Rough.

How come? I know a Lions fan here in the UK - he can’t answer that question. As bad as the Washington team have been, at least they’ve won a few Super Bowls and two of them I’ve seen live on tele.

Both retired early as well, just couldn’t do it anymore. LOL.

When I was learning the game here in Australia I was playing running back and I loved Barry Sanders. I had this VHS tape called NFL Rocks and it was highlights to hair metal tunes and I wore out the tape watching this section over and over:

Rumours flying around of a scandal in Washington which could see Snyder lose the team.

Along_the_Wire think there’s a local newspaper which will cover it tbf.

yeah washington fans have to be happy if snyder is out.

zackster

This is terrible news. I hope Mr. Snyder fights to the end.

303abuser

zackster haha agreed. it’s nice to not have the raiders being the worst run team in the league.

Although the Bezos take over would be hilarious

Seems to involve sexual harassment and assault, racial discrimination and all of the front office for the last 20 years or so. Bruce Allen has gone rogue. If true, a cynic would think the sudden name change was an effort to gather some good PR ahead of this shit.

Will need more popcorn.

TankTop Nothing yet, I’m a subscriber. Tender hooks.

Seems to implicate Gruden and Colt McCoy, which would be nice - double-bubble, if you will.

Innocent until proven guilty! I have full faith that the men in ass blood maroon can soldier on thru the season without this effecting their performance. Get those warriors back on the war path!
