Getting rid of the current name is much more important than how dull the new name might be IMO.

True SPR. Though the name was never as offensive as the logo.

Noticably the MLB app was trumpeting the new name in a news feed titled with the old name. Should they not have been the Cleveland baseball team or just Cleveland all season?

The name and logo come from the same mindset of using a group of people stereotypically.

Yes, there are some odd things going on all over the place with old names/ new names.

I've always liked the Cleveland Way... So are WFT going to be staying as WFT forever then?

Apparently not: cbssports.com

" Built in 2020 after the team retired its former moniker that was a slur used against Indigenous people -- and the franchise nickname since 1933 -- the site revealed this week that the Washington Football Team will keep its name through 2021, then unveil a new identity for the 2022 season."

Yes, the ATN boys were getting quite cross about it.

After Dave's splendid 'Cleveland Way' suggestion I'm going to propose the WFT call themselves the Tyne and Wear...

First time posting any work from my side projects.

"What if the NFL was in Europe".

Just a bit of fun, but I appreciate any one who checks it out.

Nice. I think of Dallas as being near Philly, NY, and DC when I think about NFL but in reality it is nowhere near
