The name change caught me by surprise and is kind of weird.

But I'm wondering how are you referring to the team formerly known as the "Redskins"?

By their current name: The Washington Football Team (and it's been awhile now since it changed)

I don't ever find myself in a need to discuss them.

I call them Washington. For example, Washington beat Philly last night. Or Washington beat the Eagles last night.

Gregg Easterbrook was onto something way back in the day when he began referring to them as "The Potomac Drainage Basin Indigenous Peoples." So I'm going with The PeeDeeBIPs for short.

I miss the name. I miss the logo. I miss the fight song. I miss Chief Zee. But I am ok. WFT it is. Hope the permanent name is agreeable. But if not what can you do about it? I still love my team and still drive my family upstairs on Sundays as I raise hell for 3 solid hours. I understand why the change happened, I just want to hurry up and get used to whatever name they choose and get on with my fandom. Hail to the.... uhh.... Washingtons
