Is wearing Redskins Memorabilia derogatory or socially acceptable?

| My family and I have supported the Redskins (now Commanders) for years now, and thus have collected quite a few Redskins fan gear (jerseys, posters, etc.). Until recently we featured a bumper sticker/ personalized license plate that featured the Redskins logo and name, and didn’t think anything of it until someone pointed it out that it could possibly be offensive. Is it considered socially acceptable in todays world to be wearing or prominently displaying their former logos? |

| It’s kind of offensive but not super harmful. |

| I think it is not socially acceptable. It is a racist slur. |

| It's always been derogatory and it's becoming less socially acceptable. I see a lot of people with "Washington Football" gear, though Commanders gear is not super common still. IME, most people with Redskins gear these days are trying to make a point. |

| It’s trashy and people will judge you for it. |

| Most people won't care, to include Native Americans. Only the woke care about stuff like this. |

| Please tell me - what other derogatory words, symbols, or emblems do you collect, wear, and/or place on your bumper? I'll wait... |

| Totally acceptable. Show your team pride. Don’t let people who want to stifle expression and speech tell you what to wear and support. |

Cleveland changed from the Indians to the Guardians earlier this year. Stop embarrassing yourself by pretending you know sports. |

Warriors -and what precisely is offensive about this? It belongs to no race or ethnic group. You cheapen people’s legitimate complaints when you seem to be offended by everything. |

| The Florida Seminoles are totally cool with it. |
