  1. No they didn’t. Those tribes are not real tribes. They were created for political reasons. 90% of Native Americans were Redskins and Chiefs fans. And in fact…the number one nickname of High School teams on reservations,, are the Redskims

  2. So the Redskins logo was designed by who again?
    And if it truly was derogatory, then what were some of the names American Indians had for Europeans? I guess pale face or whiteskin should be considered offensive, or maybe they're just that simple in meaning – like redskin.

  3. PINKY POWER ARE THE REAL ENEMY of the world. Colonialism is dead.

    Unless you're Native American, you came from someplace else. – B.Obama.

    Deb Haaland is 35th generation while Traitor Trump is only 2nd generation.

  4. Not sure who this woman is but all the native Americans I've talked to and it's considerable are insulted that they changed their name from the redskins. So one woman of question don't speak for all native Americans. Put it back, Redskins! Quit insulting us!

  5. Fake news. Native Americans are NOT pleased with the team name. It's a complete INSULT and wants the Redskins name back on the table and screw racism BS. 😡😤

  6. To all libs… Go love yourself and let’s go Brandon, I agree!!!!!

  7. 40 members of Washington Football organization involved in sex scandal with cheerleaders.So they changed their name and got Jon
    Gruden fired,who never even coached or GM d there.Nothing to see
    Here,just another corrupt organization but they changed their name

  8. the name originated with the Boston Redskins they should have kept the name and change the logo from some loser Indian and just used the red potato Washington Redskins

  9. Native Americans chose the name and logo in the dmv. Native Americans on the west coast don’t represent all natives. Next they’ll say commanders is racist because they killed native Americans

  10. Not crazy about the "Commanders" name. Probably should have retained the "Red" portion of the name and added something similar to "Skins" like… "Skies" I think. "Washington Redskins" to "Washington Red Skies" would have been an easy transition.
