Bring back the Redskins! God, I would love to see this!
A Native American group is attempting to rebrand Washington‘s NFL franchise back to the original “Redskins” name, and it’s gaining some serious steam as Americans left and right are opposing cancel culture.
You’ve heard of “MAGA,” now meet NAGA — the Native American Guardian’s Association — which is a North Dakota-based nonprofit organization. They’ve started a Change.org petition meant to gloriously bring back the iconic “Washington Redskins” moniker, and it fantastically surpassed 100,000 signatures Tuesday.
Created on June 21, the petition wants a return to the original name to benefit “the team, its loyal fanbase, and the legacy it represents.”
“The name ‘Redskins’ carries deep cultural, historical, and emotional significance, honoring the bravery, resilience, and warrior spirit associated with Native American culture,” the NAGA petition reads. “It was never intended as a derogatory or offensive term but as a symbol of respect and admiration.
“Changing the name abruptly disregards the positive legacy that the Redskins name has built over the years and disorients the passionate fans who have invested their emotions, time, and unwavering support in the team.”
Sign this! Sign this! Sign this! I cannot stress that enough.
For years now, I’ve been pushing for the “Washington Redskins” moniker to return, so it would be absolutely incredible to see NAGA pull this off. I signed the petition, and you should too. Because not only would it be cool to see the Redskins make a comeback and then load up on merchandise, but it would be such a massive middle finger to cancel culture and political correctness … as well as the entire establishment that supports that nonsense.

Sign it! Sign it! Sign it! America, unite!
White liberals are trying erase the history of anything that conflicts with their ideology.
And ditch that cooki-cutter abomination, FedEx Field.
I loved RFK Stadium. I got to go to a few games there, but never one vs the Cowboys, which would have been amazing.
I went to FedEx Field in December of 2002 with my dad, sister and brother-in-law when I was up visiting for Christmas and my brand new team, the Texans were playing there. My sister had gotten us club level seats from her work.
It felt like a road trip from my sister and brother in law’s place in Woodbridge and the stadium had no “heart and soul,” unlike RFK Stadium. I hope they can eventually relocate to something more central.
Rumor has it that the new owners want to build a stadium in DC limits.................
‘Commanders’................yuck!....................
Let’s try this. Restore the name Redskins for the native Americans and all other ‘Skins fans and use a potato as a logo to satisfy the braindead and unemployable Student Loan Deadbeats.
Like TPTB give a crap about a petition.
GET RID OF "WASHINGTON"!!!!
