A) The native tribes have been petitioning them for awhile B) Trump is threatening to block the new stadium unless they change it back to Redskins which the team had for 87 years before this woke BS began. I remember "they" demanded the Packers change their name and they were told to "pound salt" LOL. There was zero reason to change(why I call them the Wuss because they caved). I guess the ALT Braves is ok? the FL St Seminoles is ok? He wants the Guardians to change back to the Indians and the fans are all for that in Cleveland

Individual tribes have given permission to individual teams to continue using the specific name. "Redskins” is a slur word. "Braves” is an honorable word.

Trump aims at stadium over Commanders' name

President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name and is calling for Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its forme...

So whatever,not getting into a social fight on here, but it was stupid to change the name to start with, just say NO(like the Packers did). Article from 2020. I'm done

Packers wasn’t an indigenous name. Meat packers.

The Green Bay Packers have not changed their name since they were founded in 1919. While briefly associated with Acme Packing Company, they quickly reverted to the "Packers" name and have retained it ever since. The team's history is deeply intertwined with the Indian Packing Company, which initially sponsored them and led to the "Packers" moniker. 

Here's a more detailed look:

  • Early Years:

    The team was initially known as the Green Bay Packers due to their connection with the Indian Packing Company. 

  • Brief Name Change:

    After the Indian Packing Company was bought by Acme Packing, the team was briefly called the Acme Packers. 

  • Return to Packers:

    However, they soon reverted to being known as the Green Bay Packers and have remained so. 

In 2000, the animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), requested that the Packers change their name, arguing it promotes violence and bloodshed by referring to meat packers. PETA suggested alternative names such as "Pickers" or "Six-Packers".

BTW if you had a less than good O line, Hurts tush pushes wouldn't be as productive as they are. Of course he has the powerful legs, but a crap O line would put alot on him alone. But Ham thinks he carries the team anyhow lol

He doesn’t carry the team…he leads the team!

Once again you still fail to see WHY that was. Ever watch boxing? There are usually 1-3 "feel out" rounds before the big action starts. What's wrong with taking 1/4 1 and analyzing your opponents game plan?

Poor game plan and script

Ham hasn't been able to understand that the players benefit from everything Howie has done contract wise ....BECAUSE THRY GET PAID!

It's never where players take less when they sign the long term deals...they get their money up front, the rest of the Cap stuff that helps keep the hits low isn't anything that the players sacrifice.

He refuses to acknowledge this concept....but again..."im the only one realizing how Jalen Carter is goiing to get paid" he just lives in his own world.

Lurie is actually the one making the cash available to work deals like that.

Yeah... it's a collective bargaining issue. You can be sure the players union will have their say. This is one of the things that offsets " guaranteed contracts " which the owners will avoid at all costs.

They will get their say…but the point I made is: I believe Goodell might have a way he can do it first…then the NFLPA will fight it to undo it. If Goodell can extend out the battle for two years? That’s all he’s looking to do to us.

Agree that's why I don't give a spit about the name in Washington...could be for 187 years prior...not my team, not worth my thoughts. Eagles are my team.

The stick up your arse about Goodell prevents you from thinking logically. You had the same issue thinking we tampered with Barkley. You don't understand the issue, and that Goodell doesn't control everything.

The logo was a highly honored and respected Indian and it was FINE for 87 YEARS. No one cared for that long. I'm sick of pandering to a tiny group of morons. If you are offended DON'T watch the games. Buncha wussies

No version Redskin isn’t offensive

Be fun for the fans. Gotta think about every aspect. A good name that sticks will sell T shirts by the trainload

I agree…Fangio and several of these guys appear setup to be running together for a few years.

So poor it led to 14 wins and a SB

All time levels of talent…worst scoring first quarter team in the entire league. That’s hard to do.

They overcame being the worst first scoring team to accomplish a that…you’re acting like it was a benefit…or reason towards all the success.

I was glad Snyder couldn’t just buy and use a Native American tribe to do his bidding.

I absolutely admit I don’t pretend to know every trick Goodell can pull from his sleeves. But I did hear some rumors of that he had a way he could get rid of the void years by league executive powers….then the NFLPA would have to battle to reverse the move. I don’t think a single one of the 32 owners even understands every single option Goodell and his team of lawyers can pull.

Obviously Goodell is so motivated to stop us….simple scenario is he could just negotiate and concede something to the NFLPA in return.

Any Eagles fan that doesn’t understand how bad Goodell is for us…needs to wake the F Up!!

Goodell made a very clear point to mention "integrity of the cap system.” Feels like he might just have a move to make…if the integrity of the cap system is at stake.

That is a true statement. Why/how is it relevant?

TC begins tomorrow with players reporting

Let’s just give proper credit where it’s due.

The key word you used is "might”. What gives you reason to believe he "might” have a way … might have the power?

He is acting like that because it was. The purpose of the script is to illuminate what the opposing Defense is doing with their scheme after a week of film study of the Eagles. The Eagles Offense required special preparation by the Defensive Coordinator. It is important to know what has been inserted, so that as the game wears on it is easy to proactively identify what the Defense is doing.

You don’t have that kind of nuance in Madden.

You pay attention to rumors more than any person I know. There is a reason they call them rumors.
