Just This Game...

why did they ditch the redskins name? Was it really an effort to appease native american concerns? (If that was really the issue)

 

What drives me nuts.
- I see some of the X posts.. there's one above. But here's the thing, when you look at the diagrams, the X's and O's, schematics, they don't really change a lot.
But when you flip players around or find players that fill those spots and produce better, then it works.
I suppose that qualifies as change of schema, probably, maybe, I dunno.
But the coaches are supposed to assess those guys they have and put them in the best places in the first place.
But OK.... it is a learning curve as the season goes on. They adjust.
Around the league, you never hear Austin's name mentioned as top HC candidate. You really don't hear him as a top DC.
but what the heck, I'll go along.

 

Political Correctness.
The politicians wouldn't grant a new stadium...
The owner was a jerk
etc......

 

People were offended on behalf of some native Americans who......weren't offended by the name.

In fact, the Native American Guardian Association started a petition to change the name back to Redskins because they felt it was a sign of reverence for Native Americans:

So will every game left on schedule. Matter of fact I'm guessing the Steelers will only be favored against the Dolphins and depending how we look before we play the Browns, maybe them.

 

Yeah because You can actually tell the difference there.
