Here's a portion of the article on the naming:
Snyder also states that the name was chosen in 1933 to honor Native Americans in general and the coach and four players at that time who were Native American; and that in 1971 coach George Allen consulted with the Red Cloud Indian Fund on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when designing the logo.
Guess the facts mean nothing these days!
I completely understand it. Wait until the kneeling starts and the NFL's tv ratings get passed by cornhole.As I said, I am not for forced renaming, but I think despite the history, it is fairly common to view that name as pejorative right? There are a lot of words that have an altered meaning now vs history.
Hell, the Flinstones theme song, which is a cartoon based loosely off the Honeymooners had a word or two that would have been never passed today's standards.
Are there any possible names thrown out yet?I'm fascinated by the marketing potential in the name change. It will be interesting to see.

Oh hell yea! My favorite Chief! He has way too much with everything he does. There must be some financial wizards in that front office.Big signing for the Chiefs as they lock up Chirs Jones on a 4 year deal with over 80 million with 60 guaranteed.
The Indians don't want them using "Warriors" either, they've put up a stink over that name too.In the unofficial media, I have heard Redtails and Warriors mentioned most frequently.

I’m pretty sure he’s not human. Hopefully he can put that one game behind him and earn this extension.Myles Garrett is about to become a very rich man.
Weird.
I didn't know the history behind that name, learn something new every day. Given the current environment, I'd say that one is just about a lock.- Redtails refers to the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African-American pilots who flew 1,578 combat missions for the US Army Air Forces during World War II seems to be 3/1 odds

I digress. Back to Dak and how the Cowboys will still be mediocre whether they pay him or not.

Kenny Stills arrested.
This one is going to get very ugly.
Had no clue he was even still playing but the important question is, was he wearing a mask?Kenny Stills arrested.

I saw that this morning. How the NFL handles this one will say a lot. Stills was charged with intimidating a participant in the legal process, a felony, as well as misdemeanor disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
you charge onto the private home of the Kentucky AG you have to understand being arrested is a given.
The Chiefs mascot is a wolf.Everything is offense to people these days. How are the Chiefs, and there mascot, any different than the Redskins?
