Funny how money will make people change their minds
LOL Yep!! :-) Just last week, they were saying NO NAME CHANGE! But hit a rich man in his wallet, and he will sing whatever song you want.

Facts.
@dave young Huh? Try again, dave. You make no sense. Concentrate now....
I'm native American. It does not bother me. American just want to get rid of the native foot print.
Not true plus no one cares
@@nalban7501 Great rebuttal
Bro is not Native American 💀
So basically what I'm hearing is only reason why they're changing the name is because it would hurt their pockets
You also get what you want when you whine loud enough and long enough
It's a slur plain and simple. It was past time for that to go
Yeps. The owner didn't care about insulting people. But when it starting taking money out of his pocket, suddenly he gets a conscience.
i guess we will truly navahoe!
Heir of the Nazareen I’m sure it will still be fucked up. I just have a feeling
Why not change it to the Washington Pigskins named after the football itself🏈
@Glenn Abiff you're right Pigs Lives Matter because I need healthy fresh pigs to put in humane slaughterhouses so I can eat and enjoy my Bacon🥓
Without worrying about whether or not the pigs were treated poorly in inhumane slaughterhouses of course 😉
@dave young What's so racist about eating pigs?🤷♂️
Humans have been eating pigs for centuries like cows and chickens 🐖
I like pigskins good name
@@herbertgomez4112 IKR 😃
It's racist towards the police,Jews and Muslims
Oh and vegans
How about the Washington Foreskins? 🙂 Go Cowboys! 😎
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎
Fitting indeed😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😣😜
Washington *DEADskins* (cells)
I think they should call them the pale faces or the white skins. That'd be awesome. 👍🏻
The Fork Tongues
The Karens
Boo R Karen 😂😂😂😂
@notyuu That's the idea. To have a name that won't offed people.
This is so stupid people are making a big deal about everything. Washington REDSKINS have had this name for years but now a bunch of sensitive people are making a big deal of it. And it’s not just this. A bunch of famous statues are being torn down because of this. Like people who are offended by this can and should just mind their own business 🙄
I honestly wish there was a way to rid the world of all the snowflakes.
@@docnightmares8291 totally agree
@@docnightmares8291 To be honest, I find a lot of the "snowflakes" and over sensitivity obnoxious, not to mention the increasing focus on identity politics over the last 10 years, which polling shows the vast majority of people are against - including me - but I've seen a decent amount of Native Americans say the name is somewhat offensive, while they don't care or even like the name "Braves", even if there's some in comments claiming they are and don't.
They're not even "red", and it'd be like having a team with a slanty eyed stereotypical asian guy as a logo with the name "yellowskins". In this case, I think it makes sense to change it.
This goes to show they don't know what racism is
NAGA is pushing to have REDSKINS re-instated. 👍
CZcams it.
Nope it’s racist
Ignorance , the whole point was to give street credit to history and existence of native Americans. Natives even called themselves redskins to differ themselves from the white man
yes, and the negro baseball league was mean to allow black people to play baseball. but i promise that wouldn't be a welcomed idea today. what was considered "okay" back in the 1930s may not be "okay" today. it's called changing with the times
If we’re lucky they won’t have a season.
why is that are u racist
The wise stay financial stable by spending less and investing more and the unwise remains poor by spending more and yet not investing like the wise ones......

How about Washington redskins I’ve seen so many Native Americans who loved the name and liked the representation and they still decided to change not because all agreed but a few agreed
Redskins, Comanche, Commanders...Same thing
When the money started threatening they shook a bit and acted. Sad. But goes to show how corporations can influence
Redskins, Comanche, Commanders...Same thing
The current logo, proposed by Walter Wetzel, a Blackfeet tribal chairman and past president of the National Congress of American Indians, and was introduced in 1972 " Funny That "
Js JavaScript true !!!!!
Redskins, Comanche, Commanders...Same thing
And? That doesn’t mean it’s not racist lol

Mvskoke opunakv opunayetske omv?
@@ThePhantomNetwork but I am right? A Native American is capable of making and designing a racist logo which is what happened. The logo and name is changed they will never be the “Indians” again die mad about it
The Washington Red Rockets. 😂😂😂
How about the Washington Grand Wizards lol
Why are y’all mad that they changed it?!?
Cause these racist dumbasses don’t like change. Well people in general but I’m glad it’s changed
Because political correctness is fascism disguised as tolerance.
Because I like to be reminded of Native Americans history before it’s all gone and you can do that through imagery
The name is demeaning, that’s like a team named whiteskins or black skins. Does that sound uplifting to you?
Because people don’t want to admit that their racist on the inside
Tribute to native Americans gone further erasing their history.
You mean the history of the American genocide. Where hitler got his plan. It happened here first
And it was more than 6 million. Not saying anything negative towards the Jewish community but most people are clueless
How weak and insecure do you have to be to allow a name to hurt your feelings 🤔
THIS IS TOTAL BULL!!! KEEP THE NAME!!!!
Washington Chaz,,, then the fans can do the “ Chop Chop “ when they score.
I’m glad Cleveland hasn’t changed the Browns nickname
It was named after one of there coach so not the same lol
Browns isn't racist
Give it time this world don't make sense
They are, to the "shits"
It's an orange helmet as a logo, put some racist shi as a logo & the word Browns is going to look way different
The Washington Redskins was supposed to be honorable. It is. Who was Mr Riggins playing for. So, please don't dance!
Overpaid athletes can entertain someone other than me. I quit.
Good for you, no one cares
RedSkin Lowkey had the coolest logo
In Massachusetts the Boston suburb the town of Walpole voted to remove the name Rebels as the school used the Confederate flag until recently so no surprise that the Redskins name is being changed.
Silo High school in Oklahoma is also the rebels.
Thats so bullshit. No one in 2020 was protesting about the team's name. People just need to grow up.
SMH this is just dumb! Who cares? Let's change it to black face!
Or paleface, that would be great huh?
@@nodruj8681 This was 2 years ago, seems like you're the one triggered, get a life dude geeze LOL
Remember this team went out of they're way to lure in wanted criminals in a sting with the Marshalls service by deceiving people into thinking they won a sports package that includes tickets and vip treatment! That's wild! Running stings on your own fan base. If you aren't aware of this story Its on here actually NFL film's might have it on they're channel enjoy.. and.... Fly eagles Fly! E a g l e s EAGLES!
Why didnt they change their name to the natives?
I didn't think this would happened but obviously I was wrong.
Don't forget the Atlanta Braves and the Kansas city chiefs and the Cleveland Indians
I think the chiefs one is a weak argument because it is only a title of Leaders of my tribe. But the other ones, yeah they can be changed too! I am of indigenous Ani Yun Wiya ( “ European Colonists renamed my tribe “ Cherokee “) tribe of Moors 🇲🇦of this land. Peace from the Magi in the East. ❤️🇲🇦🇺🇸✡️📿🙏🏾
Indigenous and Proud!
Magi Hypnotist Hannibal Bey You’re not a Moor and you’re not a Native American. Be proud of your Blackness.
@@Boomer5150 are you saying he is a freedman?
Magi Hypnotist Hannibal Bey not really. The us government outlawed chiefs and would persecute any that existed. Yet it’s okay for white culture to adopt the title 🤮
The problem with all these teams. Even the not so offensive ones like the Blackhawks, you’re still gonna have douche bag fans doing fucked up racist douche bag things
People are too soft ever since George Floyd.
Wow. Smh
IT ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO $$$$...........SPONSORS THREATEN TO PULL OUT
Money, or the loss of it can move mountains!
What about "the pale faces"
A high school in wa state had the nickname kamiakin braves with statues and paintings of Native Americans torn down because it was cited as a racism. After contacting local natives the statues could stay but they name and paintings had to go
Native Americans are black people btw it’s not the people with them straight hair
that took way too long...
Your name is racist. It offends me cause its offensive. Please change it.
Why is always white women who fall for this crap all the time? American Indians don’t give a crap about the name change
@Adam here you go again Idiotboy

Dan Snyder guess what........THEY CHANGED THE NAME!!! 🤣🤣🤣💀
It’s all a marketing stunt
It's like they say, money talks bullshit walks.
How about the "Washington Washers"? There slogan can be like "We gonna mop the floor with you!" or "You gonna be hangdry when I'm done with you!"
That whole story is just pathetic! 🤦♂️
Kind of like your ignorance 😂
Why not the Washington Union for new name
Did nike pepsi and fedex ask the fans what they think????
The pressure was too much.
People are just too butt hurt these days. God help us!!
Bru why did they do that? Redskin was because they painted there faces not cause there skin.
Dolphins are next so insulting to animals to name a team after them.
Your next Kansas City and Cleveland Tippes !
Atlanta Braves... Isn't there a "Blackhawks" hockey team? I'm from Oklahoma... I dont know hockey.
Washington Redhawks
DISRESPECT? A native american designed the logo for gods sake!!!

Washington - first in war, first in peace, last in the NFC East.
that's probably because the Vikings weren't slaughtered into almost non-existence onto their on their own land of mind you and they weren't thought of as inferior or Savage and they weren't genocided
Next they need to fine 6nine for using the n word in his rap songs. He's not African American! In fact they should fine everyone for using the n word! Including African Americans. If we're going to get technical, then it's that simple. Anyone caught using the n word should be fined

How about Washington reds
The picture is an actual person named Chief White Calf painted his Grandson
if anyone is watching this from 2021, i can tell you that they changed their name to Washington Commanders.
worth placing a bet on that name actually.
It's really not racist people are just really sensitive
@ARJUN BROOKLYN I can't be racist about this when I'm native American
The Washington Seminoles ?
I will never buy anything but the original. You can support what you want.
I want to see all these so called native Americans myself. I can’t remember the last time I saw one.
Eyyy. "Washing top dog."
Name change doesn’t change the fact that they still suck
Meanwhile in Dallas..
(Original title: Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to the US National Security Assistant’s fallacy: he should read Marxist-Leninist works)
At a regular press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 15th, a reporter asked: The American President’s National Security Assistant O'Brien published a signed article in the "Washington Post" on July 13th that the Communist Party of China believes that Marxism-Leninism believes that individuals do not have Intrinsic value is just a tool for realizing national interests. He also said that the details of the Chinese Communist Party's suppression of Uighurs are heartbreaking, reflecting Marxism-Leninism's contempt for individual natural persons. As long as China continues to commit human rights violations, the US government will respond. What is China's comment?
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said that I think Mr. O'Brien should read Marxist-Leninist works. The people's position is precisely the fundamental political position of the Marxist party. One of the most fundamental points of historical materialism is that the masses of people are the creators of history and the real driving force for historical progress. The Communist Party of China always represents the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people, always serves the interests of the vast majority of the working people, serves the people wholeheartedly, insists on relying on the people for everything, for the people, for the people, and for the people as the supremacy. Starting point and ending point. Because of this, the Communist Party of China has enjoyed more than 90% of the people’s satisfaction and support for many years, and has become the only country that has developed into the world’s second largest economy without war, colonization, and slavery in recent decades.
Hua Chunying pointed out that the Communist Party of China insists on the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life. This is in stark contrast to the "political private interests first" and "capital first" of American political parties. It is for this reason that under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people are united, It has made major strategic achievements in combating the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, and protected the lives and health of the Chinese people to the greatest extent. And we see that the numbers on the "Death Bell" in the United States are still growing day by day. Behind every cold number is a fresh life. We are heartbroken for the American people.
Regarding Xinjiang-related issues, we have pointed out many times that some people in the US have made the biggest lie of this century on Xinjiang-related issues. The so-called "millions of Uighurs were detained" was created by Zheng Guoen, the backbone of the "Research Group of Xinjiang Education and Training Center" set up by an anti-China organization funded by the US National Democracy Foundation and the US intelligence agency. In this regard, the American Independent News website has already disclosed.
Hua Chunying emphasized that facts speak louder than words. In the past 40 years, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang Autonomous Region has increased from 5.55 million to 11.68 million, more than twice the number 40 years ago. Every 530 Muslims in Xinjiang have a mosque, and the total number of mosques is dozens of times that of the United States. People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang live happily and breathe freely. Have Americans seen such racial repression and oppression?
As for the U.S. false accusation that Xinjiang Muslims are living under close surveillance, and millions of members of the Communist Party of China live in Uyghur homes, the fact is that Xinjiang has carried out “national unity and family relations” activities in recent years, and the vast number of cadres who have been married have gone to the grassroots to share the pains with the people , To solve the actual needs of production, life, employment, schooling and medical treatment for them. Over the past three years, the donations to the people of all ethnic groups have reached 987 million yuan, and the donations have reached more than 51.12 million, and the practical and good things have reached more than 18.87 million. They have been warmly welcomed by the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. This is also a concrete manifestation of the Chinese Communist Party and the people of all ethnic groups who have a deep relationship with the fish and water. The Chinese government takes the masses of people in mind and does practical work for the people. American politicians do not care about the sufferings of the people, only their own political interests, and they certainly cannot understand all this.
Looking at the United States again, the ethnic minorities in the United States have suffered from bullying for a long time and faced long-term, widespread and systematic discrimination in various fields such as politics, economy, culture, and social life. As far as the American Indians are concerned, the US government has long imposed a policy of forced genocide, segregation, and assimilation on them. In the century after the founding of the United States, the United States expelled and killed Indians through the Westward Movement. By the beginning of the 20th century, Indians in the United States had plummeted from 5 million to 250,000. Today, Indians in the United States account for only 2% of the total population of the United States. After the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the prevalence of African Americans is more than five times that of whites, and the mortality rate is several times that of whites, which highlights the racial inequality in the United States. The recent large-scale protests caused by the death of the American African-American man Freud also once again exposed the long-term systemic and serious racial discrimination problems that have existed in the United States, which has made the ethnic minorities in the United States "incapable of breathing". To the point. This problem is also very heartbreaking in our opinion.
Hua Chunying said that regarding the various fallacies raised by the US on China-related human rights issues, we have published "All kinds of Fallacies and Facts About China-related Human Rights Issues," which are available in both Chinese and English versions, all of which are facts.

The Washington getwokegobrokers
They are now the Washington Commanders
It should be changed to Washington Injens
I'm Indian... I'm Creek( muskogee)... The kind currently in the news... And I totally support this name change.
Although, I think the correct spelling is "injuns".
Rename the team, Washington Redwolves!!!
How about buckskins new name?
Long Live Washington Redskins! So disappointing seeing that legendary name “leaving” I think the natives should be proud having a football team named after you, but no they don’t appreciate nothing
It's not the natives it's the cancel culture being offended on behalf of them.
Oh Long Johnson, true but either way the name isn’t hurting anyone
JackTTM that “Native American “ who’s in his fancy office does not represent the natives at all. He represents cancel culture and is doing everything to look good in front of the easily offended. Total sellout
Take white out of the US flag too so offensive to a white person.
From here on out. The Washington Ball-less Foreskins.
The Scalpers
Washington lobbyists would be appropriate.
"Long Disputed"
Indians are next 🙄🙄🙄
The Washington Commanders’ president, Jason Wright, would like to have a new stadium. And some of Corporate America companies will help the team make that happen unless the team’s nickname be changed from “Redskins” to “Commanders”. They don’t want the Native Americans’ History be connected or stamped to the team. In order for the Washington Commanders to receive a new stadium, the nickname “Redskins” would have to go. So, those Corporate America companies devise a plan to change the name. They probably said together, “Let’s say that the Native Americans want the name ‘Redskins’ changed. That it is an offense to our heritage and history.” Therefore, they cooked up that story and proclaimed it to the media. And that’s how I believe they change the name. The bottom-line is that it wasn’t an offense to the Native Americans, but an offense to those Corporate America companies. Let us fans stand with the Native Americans and fight for the name to be change back to “REDSKINS”!
Wait...why aren't Washington Redskins fans burning their memorabilia? They did it when Colin Kaepernick took a knee.
that makes no sense as they like the name they wouldn’t buy the new gear or jerseys just support the team and not attend games.
@@covfefe1787 That is what happened with the fans of the NFL with Colin Kaepernick and the name Redskins actually refers to a time when Native Americans were scalped for money.
I feel sorry for the natives, they've already gone through so much in the last 200-300 years. Now this...
If you only knew. Just as an example. Have you ever been to a pow wow or seen one on tv or something. It was illegal for us to do anything like that. Anything traditional, until 1978.
It was a Native American who founded the name and team logo.
@@kevinpro6483 exactly an they took it from us
This was so lame shows how soft this generation is
Ehh as a non-sports guy myself I couldn't care less. I always preferred the Yankees.
The Washington Wimps
The Member berries.

The new team name should be the Washington Caucazoids
so basically a native american designed the logo for the team and now the logo and team name are racist against native americans? Honest question people. Wtf was racist about this?
Don’t care more important things to worry about football canceled this year
God damn! let the Football Team go back to being called the Redskins, Football Team, really? see this is why political correctness is stupid!
Cry about it loser
0:07 Simply not true.
I am part of the inupat tribe of native Alaskan and if you like the changing of the name is a good idea because the one people don't call Natives racial names I am native like I said and I'm a football fan and knowing my traditions come first and I trust the organization the Washington organization to change the name to inspire the fans so yeah and my mom is an advocate for Navajo Nation to help them with trying to get more funding from the government the way. Trump doesn't like the name change while native do and Heritage and traditions come first in family comes first as well I stand with my tribe in Native out there
I was very scattered brain with what I was saying I'm very sorry for what I've done please forgive me the natives out there I am very very sorry feels like I've let you down and my ancestors
