I like their new name

The Washington Football Team
Est 1932

Oh but wasn’t Washington a slave owner?

Oh my.

Native American group has suggested "Code Talkers" in lieu of the "Redskins". But ok to keep logo, since it was drawn by a Native American and depicts a Native American accurately.

Having said that, the best suggestion I've seen yet (from Twitter) is the Washington Foreskins.

Being an ex-logterm Cowboy fan, that is what I called them, especially when John Riggins was in the backfield.

I read that since this has been in the works for a long time, some enterprising person went and trademarked all the best new names for the team.

If he got lucky, they may have to pay him to use a new name. Or be like Lady Antebellum and sue him.

Isn’t Chief, a representative of a patriarchal dominance? The 49ers, were a group of men who set out to strip the California wilderness in search of gold. The Steelers were the men who took the fruits of resource destruction to make machines that further destroy the environment. Don’t even get me started on the Cowboys, how much more gender non-inclusive can that be?

This is fun.. I haven’t even looked into the colleges, Trojans, Lumberjacks, Midshipmen, etc,etc,etc

Kansas City loves their Chiefs. The Native American in full feather regalia riding on a pinto horse "Warpaint" has been replace by a pretty blonde woman riding "Warpaint". The fans make a hatchet motion with their arms in the stands. Their symbol is a stone arrowhead.

And their name is Chiefs.

And there is discussions that they will be next to change their name.

Depending how far you want to go down the rabbit hole

This is a blog about working with Indigenous people.

Chief is a French derived word from meaning "leader". But in today's ban it culture, it won't matter.

My favorite is still the problem faced by fighter pilots with now female pilots. Is it still a cockpit?

I am told it is now a box office.

But the new gender neutral name is flight deck.
