    The severity of the ones you mentioned though was well beyond anything Snyder has personally done.

    Schott and Sterling were throwing racist comments around. DeBartolo was corruption or something like that. I don’t remember exactly. Richardson was sexually harassing employees himself.

    Snyder has just run a shitty organization. He hasn’t done anything directly himself or made racial comments to warrant being booted from the league. Unless I missed something?

    I think that's spot on. I just wouldn't be surprised if they use it as a slim excuse to edge Snyder out. The fanbase wants it.

    They likely won't because the other owners would be afraid that it would ease their exits...

    I know this has mostly turned into a joke thread, but can a team use the name Warriors and keep the Native American profile logo?

    I've been saying the same thing. Use Warriors and bring back the spear logo. Nothing racist about it.

    Whether we agree or disagree, the Washington Warriors would be likely fine -- but would need to ditch the logo. Kind of like how the Indians are moving off their mascot/logo. Most college teams have as well.

    That assumes the franchise's goal is to come out with a zero controversy rebrand.

    I totally get why the racial slur of a nickname “Redskins” is offensive. Why is the logo offensive without the name? Indians could be offensive because many NAs hate that designation and always have. But a Native American as a logo shouldn’t be offensive in and of itself. Should it?

    The Indians ditched Chief Wahoo last year... much to the dismay of many of us. I know the current logo has to go, but the old spear they had years ago would/should be fine.

    Got confused about which Washington Logo. That one should work? I think the Braves still use the tomahawk without too much hullabaloo.

    That franchise is such a hopeless dumpster fire anyways. Maybe they can just use a dumpster fire as their logo?

    I was thinking the Washington Warriors with that spear logo should be fine (which I think that you and others were suggesting). Or at least equivalent to the Indians or Braves or Seminoles.

    But, I still think that the franchise is going to land on something that is "non-controversial" and will have been designed by a committee of lawyers. So it will be awful!

    Yea, unfortunately. There is no reason to not keep the Native American theme. It is not disrespectful... in fact it's the opposite. This whole thing is way out of hand.

    I think that is the main point of my last question. Why is something Native American offensive?

    Who thought that was a good name, really. Radio pundits have been rolling out quips all afternoon. The arena will be the crack house, the fans will be crackheads or crackers, if they had cheerleaders, you can guess where it would go. The logo is lame, the colors are the same as the Tennesee Titans (or as one person said, a tube of toothpaste (Crest))

    Their mascot will be named Mybutt.
