    The Washington Redskins Officially Drop Team Name, Logo

    News broke on Sunday night that the Redskins would officially retire their team name on Monday, and it didn’t take long for them to make that announcement.

    In a statement released to the press early Monday morning, the team announced that they were officially dropping their 88-year-old name.



    “On July 3rd, we announced the commencement of a thorough review of the team’s name,” the franchise announced in a statement. “That review has begun in earnest. As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors, fans and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward.

    “Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the [current] name and logo upon completion of this review.

    “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    HOW CAN THERE BE A "NEVER MORE"....WHEN THERE "NEVER WAS?"
    Long live the DEAD SKINS....The DEAD SKINS are dead! My suggestion for a new name is...
    "The Capitol PRIDE".
    How long before their new flag looks like this.....

    I wonder what name they will choose. And will the team colors have to change?

    I don’t think ICSI is too far off. The new name will have to be PC enough to satisfy the malcontents.

    Default How about the D.C.....

    As in D.C. GELDINGS?



    For those Snowflakes who have no idea what a Gelding is: THIS WILL "WOKE" THEM.
    A gelding is a castrated horse or other equine, such as a donkey or a mule. ... The gerund and participle "gelding" and the infinitive "to geld" refer to the castration procedure itself.

    ( geld
    /ɡeld/Learn to pronounce
    verb
    castrate (a male animal).Similar:castrate neuter cut desex remove the testicles of alter doctor
    fix caponizee masculatee unuchize evirate deprive of vitality or vigor.
    "the English version of the book has been gelded"

    Here's a hint: I was stationed in DC when they changed their "gang-related" name from the Bullets to the Wizards. Wizards They had a radio contest and I remember only two of the choices, "Wizards" and "Sea Dragons". So if anyone's looking for anything cool ...

    I like "Kneelers". Whoever posted that. "Cavers", "Grovelers" ... or just "PC Pussies" will work.

    Regardless, that's about the last nail in the coffin for the NFL with me. I haven't missed wasting an entire weekend day on it. Now it's on like 4 times a week? The quality of games shows too.

    For what? All this political tripe and turning it into a game for pussies to play with styrofoam? No thanks.

    Nice going, Gunny, after reading this I couldn't not look it up. Good memory, but the actual choice were "Dragons" and "Sea Dogs", plus a couple of others.

    I have to say, I like your list of new names for the 'Skins wayyy better than Dan Snyder's list.

    I think I'll go with the "Washington Grovelers". Their ads can say "we know we suck, but PLEASE come to our games anyway - we're BEGGING you..."

    Default Ladies...please PARDON ME HERE???

    I had a good friend in the Navy during my last years who was a Die Hard Buffalo fan and he always called the 'Deadskins"......"The FORESKINS".

    He said they played like LEFTOVERS....(if you get my drift)

    How about Sammy Baugh? Sonny Jurgensen? Bill Kilmer, Pat Fischer? Even that little twit Theisman? I could go on. I hate them ALL. Especially George Allen. And every season there were 2 games. Redskins @ Cowboys and Cowboys @ Redskins. One year the Deadskins won the Superbowl and their only loss was to Dallas who was 1-13 that year. Successful Dallas season

    Might as well move to Seattle now as far as I'm concerned

    Have you noticed that any mention of the team now totally omits the word “Redskins”? It’s the new “N” word.

    With the new allegations of rampant sexism by the team’s high up employees, the new name should be the “Washington Harassers”. Or would they then be confused with Congress?
