I say that we should let the native Americans decide if they want to the team to change their name. The polls I've seen show that most of them either don't care or actually like it.
Again, it's the big money sponsors making the decision beause of what they think rather than the people they supposedly care about.

Considering this is a team based in DC, I think an appropriate name would be, "Washington Lieing Bastards."
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I found an article suggesting that the 'Washington Redtails' is a top contender for the new name.

It seems that you've read one poll, conducted four years ago by one newspaper. A university study indicates that about 60% of Natives find the name 'Redskins' either somewhat or highly offensive.

Maybe the team could be renamed into "White Trash" and have whole Trump family as mascots?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I never enjoyed watching football - but occasionally watching the jock sniffers that go to the game can be amusing.....
Some of those fuckers are downright damaged individuals....

I wasn’t aware we had multiple national anthems for one country. What is the thoughts on that?
Do we have multiple national birds, flags or currency I don’t know about?

We need a real looser team to flip to ABBA.
