It sucked seeing the Sioux name go, but the inevitable PC mob was going to win the day one way or another. Now that the Redskins name is changing, no. Armenia sage.

SiouxForever Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Washington Redskins still on NFL.com but not on ESPN. Rumor is Dan Synder removed the name but will be a thorn in a bush on creating a new name. If so, I like his move here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
