The name isn't going to change until Snyder's (or his heirs) bottom line is affected. It's clearly not even close yet...the Griffin hypetrain is going to be the cash cow for the foreseeable future. He's making a shitload of money on his football team, racist name or not.

And that's why it will never change. The Redskins are still one of the highest grossing franchises in ALL of sports. The NFL can try and get him to change it, but what if tells them to fuck off? It's his trademark, they can't make him change it. I'm too lazy to vet the numbers, but it appears the Redskins bring in about $400 million a year.

NBC Sports - Mike from Breaking Bad says the Redskins should change their name

Of all the actors in Breaking Bad, few fit their characters better than Jonathan Banks.

Banks, whom some of you may remember as the guy who got thrown into the buffet at the Harrow Club by Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop, plays Mike Ehrmantraut in one of the best shows in TV history. And Banks seems to have the same gruff no-nonsense as the man he portrays.

Without, you know, all the murdering for hire.

Banks is D.C. native and a Redskins fan. Via Sarah Kogod of the Washington Post, Banks recently shared his views on the team's name during an interview with Paul F. Thompkins. Banks brought it up unprompted in the first moments of the sit-down.

"We gotta change the name, dude," Banks says. "Even if there are two American Indians out there that don't want to be called Redskins. We gotta change [it]. Just change the name."

Banks said the movement to change the name is something that should be happening.

"Somebody's offended by it, then change it," Banks said. "It's not that big a deal."

Don't tell that to Daniel Snyder, who has vowed that he won't make the change. Still, count Banks among the many who prefer full measures when it comes to an issue on which more and more people refuse to take never for an answer.

That's a ridiculous argument. If someone's offended by it, it needs to be changed? There's some pussy motherfucker offended by literally everything.

May as well change Notre Dame's mascot. Fucking offensive, I tell you!

100 years of history? No, fuck that...it's offensive!

Oh please, it's an old timey racist slang for Native Americans. The only reason it hasn't already been changed is because most Native Americans are too drunk or lazy to give a shit. If there were a team called the Oakland Negros people would be pretty pissed.

Did you read that article? Redskin was a term used by natives to describe themselves.

And how is that more offensive than suggesting all Irish like to fight?

And why do you give a shit? Is it somehow harming you? Do you think it's harming the Native American population?

I just think that if more teams start changing their names that Miami might get the idea and at the very least rename themselves something like the Sharks. I mean it makes no fucking sense to the Dolphins over the Sharks. The Eastern coast of Florida is literally the most shark infested place in the world. There are more shark bites on the eastern coast in Florida than there are in the WORLD. Whatever, fucking racist washington scum. Should just change your name to the Senators or something fucking stupid. It's not like anyone will give a shit about your team anyways, they suck dick.

It harms white people because the name might bring up the possibility that they might remember how their ancestors treated non-whites.

Please, think of the poor white people and the small miniscule chance that they might feel 3 seconds of guilt. It's almost unbearable to fathom.

Politically, I couldn't give a shit either way. Itcouldbe a good PR move by Snyder to change it, though.

The Skins? Is that too weird? It's how I normally refer to the team, but on it's own it might sound creepy.

9 members of congress want them to change it, if I was Snyder I would change the name to the "The Washington Obstructionist"
"The Washington Filibusters"

How has no minor league baseball team jumped on this diamond yet? I would rock the fuck out of a Filibusters cap.

While the name is a stupid thing to get all worked up over it is an equally stupid thing to be so obstinate about. "Oh it's what they called each other." Yeah, I'm sure the "Baltimore Wakandans" would go over real well too.

Change it, don't fuck up the new name/look(durr Wizards), keep the color scheme, and make fuckin' BANK on the merch. You have like a 1-2 season window to really capitalize on GT3's marketability.

Dan Snyder lives his life in a permanent "and not a single fuck was given" mode so the name won't change.
