Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

HATCAT WINS

right?

i like the obamacares

yeah obamacares is a good contender in a strong field, but it looks like hatcat has it 4-3 over generals. that is a mandate if ever i saw one.

I honestly thought this poll was going to be five entries for hatcat

yea i know, i went stevan ridley on this shit

btw i am just gonna request 'hatcat' the word, as much as we all enjoy the jpg i think that would get almost TOO real at times. if anyone objects, let me know in the next 1 minute, thx

come on now, "Generals" will forever be remembered as New Jersey's USFL franchise. (by me and maybe 23 other people anyway....)

just had a great discussion about this with a co-worker. he asked me if i had heard about "all this fuss" about the r******s name, and that he thought it was bogus. there's no reason for anyone to get offended, he can't understand why anyone would, and he doesn't consider the term slanderous or racist. then i asked him about who was leading the effort to change the name, and he said some native american groups were involved. uhh...

he also said

"there was a time when geronimo was on the u.s. nickel - it's an honor."

can't argue with that!

There's a Native American on a U.S. coin now! What the hell is his point?

he is completely insane.

i vote for Redskin Peanuts

the washington white black red yellow polka dot skins no matter what i will still love you

how about the Washington Longpigs?

the washington taxations without representations

do people still call the wizards the bullets for nostalgia? would the NRA have protested that name change if they'd tried it in 2013? QUESTIONS

• "I have a feeling this touchiness over language is a passing phase in culture."
• "I have become convinced that, being in the crosshairs of the PC crowd, it's only a matter of time before the name changes. Hate it, but the issue is not going away - we deal with it every year and the voices get louder and louder."
• "I'm soooo tired of all the PC stuff. This country needs to pull on its big boy pants, and worry about real problems."

Doesn't matter. The 81-year-old Washington http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG name is falling, and everybody better get out of the way. For the majority of Native Americans who don't care, we'll care for them. For the Native Americans who haven't asked for help, we're glad to give it to them.

Trust us. We know what's best. We'll take this away for your own good, and put up barriers that protect you from ever being harmed again.

was there really a poll where 90% of native americans said they were fine w/ the r*dskins name?

cause i mean, i still think it's bad, but that would kind of be good infos to know

i imagine that several BIG BOSSES at ESPN wanted to manufacture a contrived counterpoint to the clear and obvious point of "hey this team name is a clear racial slur that refers to SKIN COLOR and somehow managed to limp into the 21st century with this hella outdated and generally offensive name" so that they weren't perceived to be looking at both sides of the issue and down to the bullpen they went and who raised their goddamned hand but rick fucking reilly
i mean for crying out loud the article tag on the sidebar reads: "Not A Cause For Everyone - The outrage over the name http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG isn't universal."

While I stand by the reporting in my Sept. 18 column about the Washington http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG nickname controversy, and felt I accurately quoted my father-in-law in the piece, clearly he feels differently. This is an incredibly sensitive issue, and Bob felt he had more to say on the subject after that column was posted on ESPN.com. We've spoken and cleared this up.

Let's just move this team to L.A. and call it something else.

Yes, I am advocating the forced removal and re-settlement of this team, before anyone asks.

at this point Asian Americans are sort of tired that they're the racial group in America that it's okay to make 'satirical' jokes about when you want to make a point about race relations in America.

If I were Asian perhaps I would feel differently, but I don't get this at all. I encounter plenty of OTT jokes re: Jews, African-Americans, Latinos or other prominent minorities enlisted to make a point about race relations in America. For example:

"You know, it’s sort of fun to talk about the name of our football team, because it gets some attention for some of the people that write it, that need clicks, or what have you. But reality is, no one ever talks about what’s going on on reservations, the fact that they have such high unemployment rates, health care issues, education issues, environmental issues, lack of water, lack of electricity.

"No one wants to talk about that stuff, because it’s not cocktail, chit-chat-talk, it’s a real-life need, real-life issues. And I think they don’t want to focus on that, and I dedicated an effort to do that."

good job mike. i sympathize with why he didn't feel he could be more public about this at the time but i am glad he has decided to talk about it now.

contrast with mike ditka who also had things to say today about this :(

ehh his politics have been dim-witted for decades. amused that he thought of running for office once.

also mike carey is 65 years old wtf

Yeah remember Ditka said he regretted not running against Obama on the state because it would prevented Obama from being president

After watching the A Football Life about Ditka it became clear to me that he wasn't even a good football coach.

Like, the main thing he provided the Bears was attitude. The players seemed to openly hate him.

Yeah, the Cult of Ditka is a Chicago homer thing that's only spread around the rest of the country because the NFL plays favorites.

in terms of putting out a shorthand image of chicago for the rest of the country to judge us on, ditka was the worst thing that happened to the city since the democratic national convention of '68.

at least most of the music in 'the blues brothers' was dece, despite it leading to a million crappy cover bands and hearing its songs piped through multiple times at every sporting event in the city for the next 30+ years (still ongoing afaik.)

I met Ditka once when i was in HS (St. Rita class of '88) and he was a fucking asshole.

If Snyder somehow cons a municipality into funding a stadium for him even though his current one (admittedly, by all reports, a piece of shit)is only like 15 years old, then we will know that this world is totally fucked.

As much as I hate the Patriots, i give them credit for building their own stadium with no public money. The Vikings, on the other hand, just absolutely fleeced the state.

Washington owner Snyder confirms NFL stadiums now obsolete the minute you take the shrink-wrap off

^ Raiders fan. same thing.

;_;

The fleecing of the public to pay for stadiums that the vast majority of taxpayers cant afford to go to is just mind-blowing. I cant believe every time a team tries to hijack a city to get taxpayer money to build a stadium it works. If anybody has the time, read the Atlanta Journal Constitution's ongoing series about the new Braves stadium. It's nauseating (the deal for the new stadium, not the AJC whose reporting on this issue is fantastic).

yeah. and nfl stadiums are in use 10 days (one or two more, for the fortunate) a year, two of which are pre-season games designed mainly to fleece season ticket holders

I can really only speak for the georgia dome (which is also being replaced) but it gets used quite a bit: college games, concerts, truck shows, etc. Im actually going to be one of the 5000 people (out of 70k capacity) there tomorrow for the Georgia State-New Mexico State game cuz a buddy of mine is an assistant for NMS.

And the new falcons stadium will be used for the new MLS team. That being said, its a fucking obscene waste of money. The Dome is perfectly fine.

Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) announced Tuesday that she will introduce legislation to eliminate the NFL's tax-exempt status because of its refusal to address the name of the Washington Hatcats.

It seems insane to me that the NFL even has tax-exempt status.

What makes the idea of the referral doubly strange is that Snyder plainly despised La Canfora. Everybody at http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG Park knew about this. Prospective http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG civilian employees were routinely asked during the interview process about their views on his coverage of the team. And if they gave the right answer and got a job, they were reminded of the boss's obsession with the reporter during staff brainstorming sessions that he called to solve The Jason La Canfora Problem.

I asked him what he thought of having his team featured last summer on the HBO reality show ‘‘Hard Knocks,’’ about life at an N.F.L. training camp. He said it was a net plus, although he was distraught over how much swearing there was and joked that Coach Bill O’Brien should introduce a cuss jar. I asked McNair if he was as sensitive to other offensive language, specifically the N.F.L. team in the nation’s capital’s being named the Redsk1ns. McNair told me that he grew up in western North Carolina, around many Cherokee Indians. ‘‘Everybody respected their courage,’’ McNair told me of the Indians. ‘‘They might not have respected the way they held their whiskey, but. . . .’’ He laughed. ‘‘We respected their courage. They’re very brave people.’’

cool guy

"Get it... 'brave' people?" McNair then held two fingers behind his head to symbolize a feather headdress and proceeded to dance in a small circle while loudly whooping before finally collapsing to the ground in a fit of giggles. "I kid, I kid. But I really do love those goddamn injuns."

You're wondering, even for the NYT, how does somebody get to be such a front-running fairweather sycophant that they write this fawning spooge, but he helps you out with his little autobiographical sprinkles. "I am a Patriots fan... I live in Washington and usually write about politics..."

He called Goodell ‘‘a football politician, which is his perfect job’’ — someone who has brilliantly nurtured a system that grows the pie, expands to Europe and possibly Latin America and gains eyeballs trained on the ever-present Shield. The Shield is financial and cultural gold, proof that the system is working — at least for the Membership.

"HE GREW THE PIE"

The Washington r******s failed to sign quarterback Kirk Cousins to a long-term deal, setting the stage for his possible departure next offseason.

Team president Bruce Allen said in a statement that Cousins was "obviously important to our team and fans" and detailed the team's offer made to the quarterback. He also talked about the decision in a video posted on the team's website but referred to Cousins on five occasions as "Kurt" instead of Kirk.

Asked about Allen's pronunciation of Cousins' first name, a team spokesman said it sounded that way because of the r******s president's accent.

classic r******s

rk's are pronounced as rt's round here

Redskins to remove George Preston Marshall’s name from all team material https://t.co/cAQHvFt6yx

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) June 24, 2020

i have an additional suggestion...

FedEx on Thursday became the first major corporate backer of the Washington Redskins to call on the team to change its name, the most significant development yet amid mounting financial and political pressure on team owner Daniel Snyder in the long-running controversy.

In a one-sentence statement issued Thursday afternoon, Memphis-based FedEx said, “We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name.”

Even without elaboration from the company, the statement signals a dramatic pivot by one of the Redskins’ more loyal, long-standing corporate backers — a Fortune 100 company that for more than two decades has tied its brand to that of the team.

The company’s request comes less than a week after a group of more than 85 investment firms and shareholders representing $620 billion in assets called on FedEx, Nike and PepsiCo to sever ties with the team unless Snyder changes its name.

And it represents another shift in a battle in which the terrain has shifted from moral appeals to business and political tactics during a period in which the country is reexamining statues, monuments, symbols and corporate names and logos that some Americans have never questioned but others long have considered a source of offense, insult or pain.

If prominent Redskins sponsors feel sufficient pressure to dissociate from the team, Snyder’s bottom line would take a significant hit at the same time he faces political roadblocks in building a new stadium.

FedEx, which ranks 47th on the 2020 Fortune 500 list, holds the naming rights to the team’s existing stadium in Landover, Md., through 2026 under a 27-year, $205 million deal signed in November 1999. Moreover, the company’s CEO, Frederick W. Smith, is a minority investor in the team, believed to have a 10 percent share.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/02/fedex-redskins-name-change/

heyyyyyyyyy
https://sports.yahoo.com/after-investors-call-for-name-change-nike-appears-to-wipe-redskins-off-its-website-014246135.html

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/03/washington-redskins-launch-review-controversial-team-name/

The Washington Redskins said Friday they were beginning a thorough review of the team’s controversial nickname, a stunning step that came as a number of the team’s largest corporate sponsors called for a change. The decision followed years in which the franchise refused to even consider such a move.

The team offered few details of what the review will entail, but two people familiar with discussions between team owner Daniel Snyder, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league officials that led to Friday’s announcement said the review is expected to result in a new team name and mascot.

“You know where this leads," one of the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity. “They’re working on that process [of changing the name]. It will end with a new name. Dan has been listening to different people over the last number of weeks.”

Asked whether a change was certain, the person said, “I don’t want to say 100 percent. It’s very likely headed in that direction.”

A second person with knowledge of the situation said: “It’s not a matter of if the name changes but when.”

it will be such an amazing surprise when the "review" determines that yes, it is in fact a racist team name that should have been changed many years ago

but the review will also find that the team holds no personal liability in the matter, having not been aware of the damage it caused until the review

pplains, I wasn't sure if you were asking "why" because you didn't know about the Hogs, or because you thought it was a terrible name.

pigskins makes sense to me, they still get to be the 'skins' and it fits with the hogs thing.

red wolves sounds like the name of a lacrosse team, very bad.

Oh right. Those hogs.

and on showtime on Tuesdays and Sundays

this is tremendous.

is this some kind of hamfisted attempt to troll people by Snyder? not really working.

now i want the seahawks to complain about infringement

hopefully this means the fight song lyrics will be changed to “hail to the football”

Were they forced to rename the bullets or did it just happen? I remember it happened seemingly over night.

it was a response to the assassination of yitzchak rabin, of all things

no one remembers because on the night the bullets changed their name, the entire world ended, just as so many people had warned

https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/wizards/ever-wonder-why-name-change-bullets-wizards

"My friend was shot in the back by bullets,” Pollin said. “The name ‘Bullets’ is no longer appropriate for a sports team.”

tbf if they went back to being the bullets, but like powerpoint list bullets, it would be a perfectly appropriate team name for the city and region to get behind

Washington PowerPoints

wow, i never heard that story about how the rabin assassination triggered the bullets name change

The Washington Executive Summaries

the wikipedia for the wizards makes a really weird claim that rabin's assassin "got the idea when he watched the Bullets play a basketball game and heard the team name and suddenly snapped.[15]" the source is a link to a very thorough article about the name change that doesn't mention anything about that, and i can't find a single other thing making that claim.

I don’t know about American sports, but I can’t see any reason not to just go with The Washington Go-Gos. Kind of the perfect name, no matter how you look at it, unless I’m missing something.

Most of the country would wonder why they decided to name themselves after a one-hit wonder 80s band from California.

excuse me, you mean three-hit wonder 80s band (four if you're being generous)

OK fine but I bet you there’s only one most people can still remember today

i'd say for the whippersnappers today, they're more likely to associate "go go" with either dancing or inspector gadget than the new wave band or chuck brown's scene

ha, apparently I wasn’t the first one to think of that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_City_Go-Go

In December 2017, the Washington Wizards unveiled the Capital City Go-Go's name and released their logo. The team's name alludes to the go-go music genre that started in the mid-1960s to late 1970s local to Washington, D.C.

Why are we talking about whippersnappers when as far as I can tell, that team's fanbase is largely made up of portly white grandpas in the suburbs?

it's very odd to me how people seem to think no people of color watch football when a majority of all football players are people of color

I was thinking this

just going off of experience as someone whose spent my entire life living within a 30 mile radius of DC. obviously the washington team has fans of color but football isn't big in the city itself

football fans are still pretty white though

Of course most fans will be white, whites compromise about 76% of the population.

9% of viewers being Black means a fuckton of viewers are Black

ok i regret posting that because i was only ever making a flippant generalization that the football team has never been a big part of DC metro culture like the wizards or even the nats are, they belong to maryland and virginia. i've met more WFT fans from baltimore (from the post-colts pre-ravens era) than i have from DC city proper. i spent six years in PG county (the home of go-go music AND... fedex field) and i still met surprisingly few fans who were native to the county. the idea of snyder using something like go-go to brand his team just strikes me as cheap. of course chuck brown was supposedly a big sk*ns fan so what do i know.

lived in silver spring now for 5 or 6 years and i don't think i've seen a single bumper sticker in that time. might be a different story if the team didn't suck

Uh they put the stadium in the richest black county in the country for a reason.

presidents is very John Carpenter/Escape From

red wolves is the most cowardly pick, both bland and not fully distancing themselves from the original name, so it'll be the one

Washington Football Team is by far the best

washington racist football team would be better

armada is pretty funny because it doesn't seem like a particularly american thing? the spanish armada, sure, the english armada. yep. but when you start searching for united states armada or american armada or washington armada, you start getting a lot of nissan ads and ski manufacturer stuff

The funniest insight into Snyder’s warped brain comes from the rundown of his relentless pursuit of petty feuds with the many enemies he’s come to suspect of dishing gossip to journalists, and his attorneys’ tenuous but often successful legal maneuvering to gain access to the private communications of those enemies. Most prominent among that group is former WFT president Bruce Allen, who Snyder fired in December 2019 following a 3–13 regular season. Snyder became convinced that Allen was connected to the big trumped-up global conspiracy business, and his lawyers insisted they had “rock-solid” evidence of this whole deal, but it turns out what really knotted up Snyder’s undies may have been that Allen didn’t congratulate him for hiring head coach Ron Rivera two years ago:

In January 2020, after the news conference announcing Rivera’s hire, according to these people, Snyder learned that Allen had sent a congratulatory text to Rivera. Snyder was insulted, these people said, that he didn’t receive a similar text from Allen, whom Snyder had fired a few weeks before.

This was significant enough of a sticking point between the two men that Snyder attempted to use the pandemic and the threat of withholding money contractually owed to Allen as leverage, in order to force his former subordinate to send along a nice text message. Hilariously, even this failed to secure the desired congratulations:

Later that year, the team, citing the pandemic, attempted to get out of paying Allen all of the money he was owed under his contract. Allen fought back, and Snyder agreed to pay his full salary. But in a message sent to Allen’s lawyers over settlement terms, one of Snyder’s lawyers included a condition that Allen wouldn’t agree to meet, according to text messages reviewed by The Post.

“In addition, I understand that Mr. Allen has agreed to send a text message to Mr. Snyder stating, ‘Congrats on the hire,’” Snyder’s attorney wrote in July 2020, seven months after Snyder hired Rivera. Allen’s lawyers resolved the pay dispute, but he never sent this text, according to a person with knowledge of the case.
