I posted this 4 or 5 years ago and no one got it. Seeing todays pressure for the Redskins to change their name I decided to pull this out of the digital mothballs. Below is the original post.
I was watching Mike & Mike a little while back and they were talking about the Redskins and how they might have to change their name to get a new stadium in D.C. They were also talking about if they should have to change the name. There were a ton of viewers who believe that this name should stay. They said something like 38% of America thinks the name should go. You can count me in that percentage
This got me to thinking what if the entire NFL had names just as bad as the Redskins.
So, I decided to make helmets for every team using every racist thing I could find on google and see just how outraged people would get over some of those teams. Thus proving how much change is needed with the name Redskins.
This is going to be very racist by design. I am not a racist, which I know is what most racist people say but I feel no hate for anyone based on their race, nationality, religion or sexual orientation. I do however have a strong dislike of Raider fans lol.
Sorry for the language ahead of time. I found this lists of slurs on wikipedia. I also added the definition for each from the site. Some of the images I made and others I just googled images of racist shit and boom ten billion images.
Might I welcome you to the National Racist League still under the leadership of Roger GODell (I know it’s Goodell but he thinks he is GOD its a joke comment corrector person hit delete)

Washington Redskins
Redskins: is a slang term referring to Native Americans in the United States. In modern dictionaries of American English it is defined with the additional meanings “usually offensive”,[1] “disparaging”,[2][3] “insulting”,[4] and “taboo“.[5]The origin of the term is debated, in particular whether the use of “red” referred to skin color or the use of pigments by certain tribes, and also whether the term was applied to natives by Europeans or came from language natives used to refer to themselves. Whatever its origins in the colonial period, many argue that “redskin” underwent a process of pejoration due to the increasingly disparaging use of the term though the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including an association with the practice of paying bounties for killing Native Americans.
If any of the above teams made you mad or uncomfortable then you know how part of the US population feels about the football club in Washington. Football shouldn’t make people uncomfortable or attacked. I know some could say that I am a hypocrite because I am a Chiefs fan but that is a debate for another day.
I am of the opinion that yes the time has come to Change The Name. If the team wanted to keep the majority of it’s brand I think Warriors is a good name to transition into and here are a few mockups
If you too feel the name should be changed feel free to use the icon above on your social media pages.
