How are you going to stop 30 to 53 wild hogs?

I remember when the Bullets went through their name change pains, most of the names were terrible (as evidenced by their eventual choice) "Sea dogs" was a legitimate consideration put out by the team and a lot of people tried to rig the vote to stick them with that. I think WFT should consider it

They nailed it with "Washington Football Team", I don't know why they're dragging this out. It's futureproof, while still lowkey respecting the franchise's past by not trying to replace or erase the old moniker. The loss of identity IS the identity.

I'm a little confused as to how Warriors became something exclusively Native American but it's a lame name anyway and people will just accuse them of trying to emulate Golden State so I don't think they should use it in any case

It's not the name so much as the context and the history of the franchise. If this was a brand new team I doubt any Native American would give a drat (viz. Golden State). But since it's the Washington Ethnic Slurs they're not getting the benefit of the doubt.

Because then chuds will still wear the slur jerseys, use the slur name, and refer to the team as the slurs. It needs a new name, new color scheme, etc. - just completely wipe out the old bullshit and candy corn color scheme.

I don’t think it’s the team’s responsibility (or within anyone’s power for that matter) to try and mind-wipe the fanbase Men In Black-style of any memory of the days that came before.
