“Redskins President Bruce Allen says the team will not change their name even if it prevents them from getting a new stadium,” CBS Sports reported.
“If changing the name ‘Redskins’ would get them a new stadium, should the team change their name?” one radio host asked another.
The flustered commentator responded, “Wait … again?”
The host then rephrased the question: “Their team president says they will not change their name … should they do it?”
“No … they’re not changing their name,” the commentator said with certainty.
This came as no surprise as the team has been asked several times if they will change their name and logo, which depicts a Native American man with dark red skin and a feather in his hair.
The team, not willing to bow to the politically correct agenda, has refused time and time again and this threat of not getting a new stadium does not seem to affect President Bruce Allen’s stance on the issue.
It is always refreshing to see someone standing for what they believe in and getting the support they need. As the host and commentator discuss, they don’t need the public money for the stadium and at the moment, there is not a need for a change of venue.
If that ever becomes the case, the will see about it then — but based on who Bruce Allen is, I don’t see him ever backing down on this issue.
Bump
The San Diego Redskins.
You mean the Nationals
Good point.
Albuquerque Redskins.
The Rams are dying to leave St Louis, so I’d totally welcome the Redskins to Missouri!
The Redskins will be my 2nd favorite NFL team as long as they cling to this position.
Move the team to a city with an Indian name.
would the redskins home stadium then be in....St Louis??
San Antonio.
Give the Dallas Cowboys an opponent that is not only in the same division but the same state for that rivalry.
I like that idea!
Seems like everyone is growing a backbone these days.
ditto
I stand corrected.
The Capitols are playing mumbletypeg on the Metro.
Redskins are Washington in name only since Snyder moved the team to Maryland. Used to love the old RFK stadium when the “Skins” knew how to win.
While I’m glad the Redskins are not bowing to political correctness, why do they need a new stadium? The one they have is less than 20 years old.
Cheyenne Redskins:-) ........?.
