Speaking of dealing with assholes, Is there a term for a person that insists on referring to the Washington #NFL franchise by their previous (and very racist) name?

I'll stipulate that "Washington Commanders" is terrible, but a significant improvement over what was in place before.

@wjmaggos [pauses and thinks about it for a moment]

You're not wrong.

I feel like "Washington Commanders" did not go through any kind of focus group testing.

And while we're on the topic, "Cleveland Guardians" probably didn't, either.

@dbsalk

my local team wouldn't even need to change the name, just make a statement and change the iconography. #ChicagoBlackhawks #NHL

Rules

RULES

Note - These rules were copied from part of the rules in a subreddit as a baseline and may change (slightly) in the near future.

I. Conduct

Be civil – Don’t be a prick; this is a place to have a friendly discussion, light-hearted smack-talking, and in-depth/thorough dialogue with fellow NFL fans. We won’t be excessively vindictive about this, but if you play the role of instigator, we may take action if we feel it’s necessary – from removing your thread or post to a temporary ban or permanent ban if your conduct is especially deplorable. It isn’t hard to be cognizant of what you’re typing. And do remember that tone isn’t always implicit in what is being typed, so just make an effort to be courteous. If it’s something that might offend in person with a stranger, exercise some degree of caution, it can often prevent a miscommunication.

Internet Behavior – This is a step above basic civility that we expect from ALL users here, explicated in the above section. DO NOT troll, flamebait, or otherwise issue insulting invectives at other users that are meant to ruffle feathers and cause tempers to flare. We have a very low tolerance for this.

II. Posting/Submissions

Impertinent Posts - It goes without saying, really. Anything that is not tangentially related to the NFL is subject to removal. Politics, religion, and other contentious topics aren’t necessary here. Sports can get people riled up enough as it is, we don’t need to exacerbate that tendency as it is. If you have to pause and question yourself whether something really belongs here, it likely doesn’t.
