The new name has been selected but Daniel Snyder is going to dig deep into his wallet to pay huge $$$ for trademarks, domain name, etc. Whoever owns it now, is getting a financial windfall.

Well, unfortunately for your own sanity, you have no clue what you are talking about. “Cracker” is a well known racist term that predominantly black people use against at whites. So start there with truth and then carry on.
I’ve been called a cracker. It’s incredibly painful and every time I go down that aisle in the grocer it’s a stark reminder to these racists chants. There’s no need for it. Any number of words could be used to replace that one. Why is it allowed to linger? We don’t have the “N”-word used in marketing all around us do we? Cracker Barrel MUST GO!!
I've heard of black people calling whites "crackers", but given they are only about 13% of the population, it's hard to take it seriously.
Assuming you didn't make up your story about being called a "cracker, you are probably the only person in the country that's uncomfortable walking down the crackers aisle at the grocery store.

It's true the name wasn't a major issue for most native Americans but the team (rightly) wants to promote to an anti-racist message which is hard to do if your name is at least mildly offensive.
I understand that is why it is being changed. It is being changed to please the virtue signaling SJW's out there. It ignores the history of how the name was chosen or the people it is trying to honor.
I just wonder why the free loving women and men of the world are not upset with the offensive name of The Blue Hoses' of Presbyterian College. That is where my rage is focused!
Imagine being such a dumb baby to cry over not having sports teams insulting someone’s culture. Do you just want to be able to openly mock anyone that’s different? It’s funny because those people are the ones to cry in self defense when they feel like someone is infringing on them or their culture.
Washington Cracker or Washington Honkies
I suggest the Washington High-Cheekboned Senators from Massachusetts.

As I said, never heard of it outside USA, but again, the bloke doesn't understand context...he really does crack me up
While I do agree with changing the name, in the end it's just a n empty gesture and THAT is what America is all about. The Left is particularly good about making themselves feel good about doing "something" for very serious problems, even if that something does little to nothing to actually solve that problem.
Problem: People are starving in Africa.
Anser: Oh my, should we go over there show them modern means of agriculture, food production, and maybe even family planning? NO! LET'S HAVE A BIG ROCK CONCERT!!!
Problem: A white male shoots innocent black people attending church with the intent to start ar race war.
A: Should be set up a system that screen for mental health when purchasing a gun. Should be make mental health treatment more available? Should we ensure that when someone commits a terrible crime they are punished to the fullest extent of the law?
NO! LET'S TAKE THE CONFEDERATE FLAG OFF THE STATE FLAG!!
Problem: There's a virus spreading that kills old people and people with repressed immune systems.
Answer: Should be make sure those people are safe and secure and they are quarantined away from potential infection? NO! EVERYONE MUST STOP GOING TO WORK, SHUT DOWN THE SCHOOLS, AND WEAR A MASK MADE OUT OF AN OLD T-SHIRT(T-shirts are notoriously effective for their ability to repeal all virus and disease.)
if you're a racist this is good news, if you're a racist would you want your local team to be called the reskins and have a native american on the jerseys/helmets LOL.

There are countries where white people are less than 10 % of the population but get sent to jail for years for using "hurtfull" words to describe blacks, while black politicians (>80 % of the population) can sing songs about killing whites but that is declared as "non-hate speech" in the courts. So, I guess the percentages and whether they should be taken seriously are all about opinion.

If only Democrats would end their "family planning" endeavors. I don't think you have been paying attention to the last, oh, five decades.
yeah that's what we need MORE poor black unwanted kids....
They finally came out and announced the new name. From now on the Washington Redskins shall now be known as the DC Redskins.
