There must be liberal heads blowing up all over the place!
Turns out they offended the very folks they thought they were helping. Maybe the "woke" self important dummies should have asked before sticking their nose in something that didn't concern them. The writers of the petition seem to have had enough of today's cancel culture and more power too them. Bob

Problem is woke DEMOCRATs believe THEY know what's best for minorities despite tons of evidence proving otherwise.
Football players, more so than baseball players or certainly tennis stars, are known to be badasses and warriors. To name a team Redskins is a compliment to Indians, and also a compliment to the football players. Indians were seriously badass warriors, from the Cherokee of North Carolina, to the Comanche of Texas.
Win-win situation to name the team Redskins. If you are rational.
Somehow to Libs it is offensive. Racist or something.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Notre Dame is the Fighting Irish.
This goes back to New York City, in 1850 when Irish immigrants were fighting on the docks.
It also goes back 2,000 years when Celtic warriors ruled Ireland. The Celts were similar to the Comanche, the people with the highest status in Ireland were the warriors. There were two dozen tribes that ruled Ireland, and they were constantly at war. Something like Comanche vs. Apache in 1800 in Texas.
Yet nobody has demanded that Notre Dame change their name. Why? Because Irish are white. Libs don't get upset when something is said about white people.
The "Wokies" changed our HS teams from the Redskins to the Red Hawks.
I thought it was ridiculous from the start. Glad to see the Native group take a stand.
New owners should bring it back. Nuf said.
Look what they did to the Cleveland Indians and would love to do to the Atlanta Braves....
When I was younger I loved my SF Giants and the.... Atlanta Braves 😍 I couldn't help myself.

Blacksburg, VA. changed their high school from Indians to Bruins. The adjacent town, Christiansburg, are still the Blue Demons.
Were any birds of prey consulted before the name change?

And their choice of the new logo was brilliant!! I think it was created by a 2 year old. They will always be the Redskins.
Last 3 years I’ve had this pain in my neck, just figured it was arthritis. Now I know it’s from shacking my head back and forth. It really makes one wonder just how waked out some people can be.
My favorite potato will always be a "Red Skin"!!
Now it's time for you kids to go out and play........."Cowboys & Indigenous People's" 😲😫
...these WOKE people are a pathetic group...waking up every morning being concerned what something that doesn't belong to them is named...bring the Redskins name back...besides, it always seemed natural to say "the Cowboys beat the Skins"...go Cowboys....😁
Brookwood- don't you mean "Bovine Persons"?
A local team was the 'Savages', with a logo which looked a lot like the Savage Firearms logo. But some years back the liberals noticed it and blew a gasket until the team was renamed the 'Cobras'. Just one of the many little straws which will eventually break the camel's back.
