Washington Football Team can still be base in Native Americans but as long it's honoring them and not racist to them
Washington Trojans or Senators
Thanks 🙏
The team name had to be addressed. Here’s why! https://youtu.be/FKnabwMuAXo
I know it's not the main focus of the argument but George Floyd died of drugs not by police. Get it right or be deemed fake news.
90 percent of Indians don't care! I have researched this. Some people act like they have real feelings on this but most realize the Redskins name is a strong name for the team. If the few people stop whining and complaining about everything it's all good. Stop your stupid social justice. This is from a black man who doesn't need any help from any liberal. Democrats are embarrassing America!😱
Holy crap these damn socialist snowflakes should all move to china and STOP posting this bullshit
Wow in 50 years — We went from segregation, hangings, & the legitimate need for change because of violent racism, TO : “literally you said the word ‘color’, you dressed as Pocahontas for Halloween, you imitated an accent, EVERYTHING IS RACIST AND YOU ARE RACIST AND YOU ARE FIRED. Life OVER”
… when countries are getting bombed, kids are getting sex trafficked, and police are killing people due to systematic racism… the name of a team is the last on the list of priorities. It’s a slap to real issues. Next
Washington Snowflakes sounds pretty good for them
Vote for #Trump2020 and save this Country from the Socialists
Very Nice

Reporter Karen "you asked me not to say it, but I'm going to anyway"
I feel sorry for the fans with tattoos of this team on there body!!!🤭😂🤣🤨
All these people do is complain and cry victim.
I say change it. The team got the name to honor the brave and fierce warriors the native Americans used to be back then. Now, the whiney, bed setting, hand wringing descendents of those brave warriors have nothing in common with the people that originated their tribes. Change it, and let us forget the childish current day native Americans were ever so honored.
It’ not derogatory to be looked up in such an honor. I was honored that our legacy was used/chosen by a sport.
Stop the silly
Beautifully shot piece, need more longer format stuff instead of the 1:30 abridged versions we see every night on all the network newscasts
40 years too late.
That's Okay just say goodbye to football since people don't know how to STAND FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM there's no need to watch any sports. Time to Teach kids the REAL HISTORY. Even the Red skins are going to lose.
STOP THE MUTHUFUCKIN MUSIC I KNOW THIS BITCH AINT SAY AMERICAN INDIANS
Washington Warriors
These people are stupid there's nothing wrong with the team having the name no bulll there is nothing racist with that at allll…smfh..yall some idiotssss
Snowflakes ruining the world
Dear Black live matter this how you protest and take notes from this people. She been protesting for years in peace and they waited. Soon or later the light come through and look them now. Happy from them.
They could have just changed the picture on their helmets and kept the name.
So three people complain, and a whole team and city and fanbase needs to change it's name? How about the Washington Foreskins? One of the guys in the video has the name Redwing. So, now Detroit's hockey team needs to change its name too? See how ridiculous it is?
I wonder how much they were paid to voice their "opinion".
"The Washington R-Words!" Best name I've heard.
That awful name makes me cringe and I find it very offensive…."Washington"
Can you imagine a team called n word lol that what it is to the natives They should just rename it the Washington Braves and keep the logo
Have been a Redskins fan since I was 3 years old and have always been fascinated by and supported the Native American culture. But after Decades of being a loyal fan having them fold to the pressures of these politically charged times I believe the Washington R words is a fitting name to the team I've loved so much not to mention the entire league in general.
Going after the big issues
