Again is this not the free market correcting things as I have heard so much about?

Does anyone believe that these teams are doing this just because a bunch of my whiney liberal buddies tjink they should? Read the writing on the wall people. Large money interests are demanding a change because the collective ideology of people in this country is changing.

Ya can’t really cry market should dictate and then cry political correctness when it demands it.

Underscores all the $$ involved with NFL and pro sports...Which is why these leagues/teams are fighting valiantly to have a season - even with all its imperfections and the risk of player, coach and staff infection. I guess its like the rest of the economy, you cant shut it down cold till (if) there is ever a vaccine:

The Sacramento Kings have reportedly closed their practice facility after a member of their traveling party tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic.Per that report, the practice facility "is not expected to reopen before the team departs for Orlando on Wednesday."
That news comes on the heels of the Milwaukee Bucks also choosing to shut down their practice facility earlier Sunday, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Denver Nuggets, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns also shut down their practice facilities earlier this week, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.

'Skins most recognizable fan. A black sharecropper somehow becomes 'Skins most ardent fan.
Kinda like Syd Davy?

Chief Zee is dead now. RIP. Coinciding with any sense of Americana?
LOL. It's all over.

But you are more "woke" now. Got that, going for ya.

I guess I am missing the point. What does a black man being a fan of the Redskins have to do with Native Americans not appreciating the term?

From my perspective, teams may have approval from certain Native American figures but it's the way fans promote and present their support. I would imagine not many Native American people like to see white people or other races dressed up in war gear or performing the Seminole/Chief/Indian chant. I know it's not necessarily meant to be interpreted as racism, but it is the time we live in and a lot of people are more sensitive to this topic. Perhaps nothing changes with other mascots, just saying I wouldnt be surprised if it did.

Just ban all mascots. They are all pretending to be someone they aren't. If we truly want to be woke, mascots should just go away entirely. And with them, professional sports.

honestly changing the name is stupid and not one Native Americans life will be made better by the name change.

saying that I do think that it is tone deaf to resist the name change any longer. The country is no longer rational and thinking and a business has to bow to the mob of lefties.

They will be coming for the Vikings name soon as well since they were European pillagers. If they change the Vikings name I am done with the NFL.

Let's try and keep the political bend out of the sports related threads please.
