The world has it's
problems and with the pandemic all problems have been
aggravated by it's presence. In a positive light, I've
always been amazed at the human race's ability to adjust and
solve many problems. One area is sports. It has always
brought people together for at least a temporary time of
unity.
One problem in particular is the nickname of the NFL
Washington Redskins football team. (in this case. N.F.L.
stands for, "not for long".) After years of refusing to
change name, "Redskins", it's finally going to happen. The
pressure of the Native Americans of the country, plus
several very large businesses of this country, has brought a
resolution to the problem. Change The Name!
The
re-badging of a team such as the Washington
Football team is not an easy task. The team is
require to buy back any team related product
from vendors, get new copyrights, new logos. As
expensive as that is, there probably isn't any
question on how to do these things, but how long
is it going to take?
Selecting a
name and logo really takes thought. Many hours
will go into this process. The logo has to
represent the name of the team, which comes
first. There is a gentleman that has already applied for copyrights on
many names that Washington might want to use. The team
has decided not to continue the Native American motif,
and symbols. Selecting a name these days can be a
problem. Someone, somewhere is going to have an
issue with the selection.
The millions of fans of
the Redskins have had 87 years of making the team a part of
their lives, and the change of name is not going well with
them. However, some are coming around, including me.
Personally, I'm anxious to know what name they will choose.
Most of all, I'm just waiting on Football. |
