#1 Local citizens and alumni should be enough support to keep the name. Snider should tell FedEx to take a hike. They can easily get another sponsor if they wanted.

#2 Cleveland Indians are probably next. With that limp Richard owner there, surprised it hadn't happened already. Chief Wahoo is already gone.

#3 You First! Tell FedEx that "If FedEx changes all of its's logos, repaints all its vehicles and changes all stationary, Then they will change the Redskin logo." We are talking about a serious investment in the logo and everybody wants the NFL team to eat the loss for free -- because The feelz!

#4 Anybody ask any natives what their opinion was on this topic?

#5 Other than plague years, Albuquerque holds a Native American event, the Gathering of Nations. You tend to see participants wearing Washington and Cleveland paraphernalia with the logos.

#6 @#4 - Exactly. If there were thousands of Native Americans protesting in the streets of DC & Cleveland, then that's one thing. But we know there aren't. Not even remotely close.

#7 Don't think Cleveland Darkies is gonna make it. Seattle Twinks might.

#8 1) They've been trying to change the name of the Redskins for a while; Snyder has yet to bend over. Will be interesting to see what he does now that they've turned the outrage amps up to eleven.

2) IIRC there was a poll (native Americans only) on this very issue; there was overwhelming opinion to keep the name.

#9 Id like to see FedEx focus on delivering packages on time.

Their quality control has gone to hell.

Shareholders take note.

#12 The goal is to erase all minorities from public spaces, as the "woke" left cannot stand seeing them.
