It seems the Washington Football Team missed out on the anti-woke trend as they tried to rebrand and change their nickname (again) to appease the politically correct arrogant left who labels ‘Redskins’ as racist.
The Washington Football Team say they would now be called ‘Washington Commanders.’
However, like many fans, former quarterback of then-Washington Redskins Mark Rypien isn’t a fan of the name change.
He blasted, “No, it never will,” when asked if the name was growing on him.
“I never played for the Commanders. I absolutely support the Commanders and what they’re doing now. But I never played for them.”

“It’s just this day and age now that we have to deal with. I just hope they don’t lose the fact that we were ‘Redskins.’ That’s all I played for. That’s what I knew, and that’s all we remember.”
Rypien led the team to their Super Bowl victory and was named a Super Bowl MVP after they defeated the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI.
“We are going to support these guys because that’s the era we are in. I am not a Commanders’ legend. I am a Redskin. I love my guys,” he remarked.
“I want to support these guys, this team, and get this Commanders football team back to playing the type of football the Redskins played back in our era,” Rypien continued.
After being subjected to insults and pressure campaign by the woke liberals, the Washington Redskins, was forced to change its name and logo and reintroduce itself as the Washington Football Team in 2020.
The current team owner asserted they will never go back to the old name.
But the fans want it back, and even the family of the Blackfeet chief who served as the main image of the team for almost five decades demands the team to revert to its old team name.
The family of John Two Guns White Calf also wants to educate the new generation of Americans to learn about his story and how, amid all the differences pushed by the left, we could unite.
Montana senators also support the call.
“The fans want him back and we want him back,” remarked Thomas White Calf, a great nephew of the great Native American leader who commemorated the history of early-20th-century native.
“Our ancestor was the most famous and most photographed native in history,” said White Calf.
His great uncle was also the face on the Indian head nickel, he furthered.
“I’m proud of him. The Blackfeet are proud of him.”
