The Washington Redskins have faced pressure to change their name for some time now, but with what’s been dubbed “cancel culture” seemingly ripping through everything, if the franchise is going to change it, it may as well be now.
Luckily, the process to find a new name shouldn’t be too difficult, with social media throwing their ideas into the hat if a name change were to happen, and some are hilarious.
I say you stick with the Redakins name but make it the Redskin Potatoes. That way you drop the racist connotation but don’t have to do a ground up rebranding. And you win over all culinary community as new fans. pic.twitter.com/KN7nexUs73

Change the name to the “Washington Warriors.” Revert back to the spear helmet. This isn’t hard. pic.twitter.com/TDnxf32soR

If Washington owner Dan Snyder ever gets his head out of his ass, I hope they change the team name to Redtails. Redtails was the nickname coined for the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. pic.twitter.com/5cP1yTVxkO

Change the name to Washington Warriors. There are so many options and they don’t even need to change much. pic.twitter.com/jgcLBEqnqh
