We Asked Redskins Tailgaters If The Team Should Change Their Name To The ‘Washington Warrens’ [Benny Johnson/Daily Caller]

The Redskins are having one of the best seasons in recent history.
Despite their performance this season, however, there is one thing that will never change: The controversy over the Redskins’ logo and name.
The logo of the Redskins has weathered many seasons of controversy. But there have been renewed calls for the logo to get the politically correct tomahawk in recent years. Some of the biggest names in politics have come out against the symbol of a proud, stoic-looking Native American and his feathers.
In 2015, Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid proclaimed in a speech from the Senate floor, “The Redskins name is a racist name. I find it stunning that the National Football League is more concerned about how much air is in a football than with a racist franchise name that denigrates Native Americans across the country.”
The team has not budged to the social justice pressure campaign and team owner Dan Snyder refuses to change the logo.
We at the Daily Caller decided there was a simple solution that will finally please Social Justice Warriors and Democrats alike on the issue of the Redskins name and logo. Just use a “real” Native American for the mascot.

We Asked Redskins Tailgaters If The Team Should Change Their Name To The ‘Washington Warrens’ [Benny Johnson/Daily Caller]
The Daily Caller’s Benny Johnson traveled to the Redskins tailgate before Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons to ask Redskins loyalists what they would think of a real Indian being the Redskins new mascot.
Their answers did not disappoint.
WATCH:
Or the Washington 1024th’s.
The Washington Redskins should change their name.
They should move 5 miles north and call themselves
the "Savage Redskins". I've stopped watching the NFL,
but for that I'd watch once more.
Washington Wankers.
Washington Thieves would be more fitting.
No, Savage is 5 mi from ME, more like 1/2hr from Redskins. And while it’s a poor name (worse than nearby Scaggsville), it’s for a man’s name.

OK, now that is funny.....
Well, it would sort of go with the Washington Wizards.
First off the PC crowd insists we get rid of all Indian/”ethnic” references in sport.
Then when we do, they’ll be ANGRY that no one but some white guys are represented in sports.
You can’t win with these uptight self-conscious jackasses.
I like, the Washington Peoples Of Color.
I thought San Francisco was supposed to be the fairies?
PETA suggested keeping the Redskins but changing the mascot to a bad of red spuds.
I like the Washington Tapeworms, since DC is a parasite on the rest of country.
If the Liberals win and change their name we should demand they change it to “The Washington D.C. Swamp Snakes”
Aren’t warrens where bunny rabbits hang out?
Do they carry the Jew hat at LIDS. That’s badass /s/
Seriously though — they should be called the ‘Fedskins’.
Go Tribe!
But for that meme it needs to be another team.
Maybe.... the Cleveland Persons of Slavic Ancestry?
Washington foreskins
I don’t watch the nfl anymore and haven’t since the kneeling started. I won’t even if they call themselves the “Washington Wankers” but I love the name. I hope they do it. Great idea.
