Real talk, Washington Warriors has been the obvious name change for awhile. Consonance, sounds cool, and there’s tons of promotional possibilities from the movie too. “Warriors, come out and plaaaaayyy”, colors almost match, etc.
Synder sucks dick, and Washington fucked up the last name change by creating one of the worst team names in sports (fucking Wizards lol), so this will undoubtedly result in a total shit show of a team name.
Please describe the Washington Warrior mascot and logo so I can explain how it will be called racist.
This isn't because the name Redskins just is a tiny bit too insensitive, so no, Warriors or Braves isn't going to fly. Maybe Redtails, but they'll be accused of insincere pandering. Why? because all this has nothing to do with the actual name and whether it's objectively inappropriate or insensitive.
Starting to understand why so many people are just saying "this is fine" with things like the NFL. Maybe just ignorant of where cancel culture is headed. Because shucks apparently Redskins was too insensitive and the mobs will be placated by changing the name to Warriors, roooight?
