Big John Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Still controversial. The NBA has Golden State Warriors. But Marquette University changed their team name from the Warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Marquette University changed their team name from the Warriors. Depending on the logo, it really doesn't signify 1 group or another. While other sport franchises may have a problem with the name, hard for any one group to say they are the warriors depicted by the name and as such offended by it.

The newest did not seem to be. Glad my daughter chose Loyola over Marquette.....got to see a Final Four run!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Maybe to compleatly avoid all issues we should give each team a human name, the Washington Willy's, Tennessee Tim's and Seattle Steve's, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Sounds like they'll end up there, but too bad they couldn't pick a name that wasn't already used in the NBA. Why not pick the Yankees or Crimson Tide for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Putting anything offensive or not aside, I don’t get it. Changing the name is a big deal, choose something unique. Why would you want to retread something like warriors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League_Champion Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'll be disappointed if it's not the Red Tails. I think that would be a great choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Tails seems good, I don't know the history on that much. I did like The Swamp. D.C. Comics, Washington Warrens after brave Native American leader Elizabeth Warren (not a political statement by me fyi). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Redskins to be retired tomorrow. There is a trademark squatter registering all the popular choices; so that has to be resolved before they can announce their new name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hail to the Redskins will never carry the same steam . this wasn’t as much the power of protest as it was an absolute sabotage by the sponsors. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the sponsors used their leverage because the protests pushed them to do so. It's all related I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skins fell victim to cancel culture. The same people that defaced an actual Frederick Douglass statue were part of the skins getting cancelled .

SNOWBOUND33 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I heard Fanduel was taking odds on Washington's new name but I can't find anything on their site. Anyone have some info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtails is the best but Sentinels ain't bad either. RedHawks is reasonable but does that have anything to do with the DC area or is it just an East Coast foil for the Seahawks?
