Your reply seems disconnected to the post to which you replied.
That post mentioned why the original name was offensive to them. Nothing about how the name evolved at all.
They couldn't have made a mistake over a point they never made.

Commanders becoming Redskins again? [View all] milestogo Jan 2025 OP

Been floating around trolls since they ditched the name JT45242 Jan 2025 #1

Maybe you're right about the origin of the Cleveland Indians' team nickname True Dough Jan 2025 #10

I agree with that -- ditch the logo and keep the name JT45242 Jan 2025 #19

Agreed on the Indians. Hate the Guardians. If they had to change... brush Jan 2025 #41

Personally I loved the Washington Football team Henry203 Jan 2025 #2

No, it wasn't. catbyte Jan 2025 #11

Thank you. milestogo Jan 2025 #17

Perhaps you should pay attention Henry203 Jan 2025 #23

THe Washington football team Henry203 Jan 2025 #22

Your Point? ProfessorGAC Jan 2025 #24

You would be wrong Henry203 Jan 2025 #28

You appear to be mistaken dpibel Jan 2025 #38

I liked it too Blue_Tires Jan 2025 #26

People have no sense of humor. Henry203 Jan 2025 #29

I was asking my friends to tell me ONE THING Blue_Tires Jan 2025 #33

All my friends refer to them as the Commies. Maybe comradebillyboy Jan 2025 #3

Commanders - the dopiest name in professional sports! n/t Peregrine Took Jan 2025 #4

I like Washington Gridlock or Washington Monuments. nt Dulcinea Jan 2025 #5

Probably goes with shitbag's pledge odins folly Jan 2025 #6

Can you link me to that post? Blue_Tires Jan 2025 #32

Took me a while to find odins folly Jan 2025 #42

Thanks for that... Blue_Tires Jan 2025 #45

The NFL is not gonna change a team's name MorbidButterflyTat Jan 2025 #47

I no longer follow the NFL, but when I hear "Commander", I think of the WH dog. n/t Harker Jan 2025 #7

I think of The Handmaid's Tale. milestogo Jan 2025 #9

Commander. My favorite bitey dog! Wish he could make an appearance to bite Roberts and T(Felon)G. FSogol Jan 2025 #27

It could happen, if he gets a ticket to the inauguration. Harker Jan 2025 #34

I've pleaded with Biden to bring him. FSogol Jan 2025 #35

Woof! Harker Jan 2025 #36

I liked the Redskins (I'm just old fashioned) aeromanKC Jan 2025 #8

If you'd ever been called a "dirty redskin," you'd feel differently. catbyte Jan 2025 #13

Been called a wop aeromanKC Jan 2025 #20

Yeah, but you don't see an NFL team named that or jerseys sporting it. catbyte Jan 2025 #21

I actually worked with a guy who came to work wearing a shirt that said "Caucasians". milestogo Jan 2025 #25

Not a chance in hell of that happening. underpants Jan 2025 #12

Not coming back Coolgoober Jan 2025 #14

Problem is that it's a bad name and terrible logo. LisaM Jan 2025 #40

Well the bad name and terrible logo team MorbidButterflyTat Jan 2025 #48

For the next four years they should adopt the name "Imbeciles". Borogove Jan 2025 #15

But now they are a really good team with a great QB milestogo Jan 2025 #18

And more importantly an organization filled with football professionals rather than the drinking buddies of a spoiled FSogol Jan 2025 #31

I'm a diehard Eagles fan. Borogove Jan 2025 #43

I don't see the new owner doing it. He seems like an empathetic person. everyonematters Jan 2025 #16

It's the usual Trumper agitprop bullshit Blue_Tires Jan 2025 #30

Could have just kept the name and change the logo to a potato MichMan Jan 2025 #37

GOP has set lofty goals for itself. louis-t Jan 2025 #39

I fully expect them to rename the team, and sometime soon, but not to the 'skins. Angleae Jan 2025 #44

Like commanders name Rebl2 Jan 2025 #46
