Why didn’t they needlessly hold on to their problematic title for extra decades?

They probably felt it wasn't worth the trouble. Besides, Red Storm is a way cooler name anyway.

Should have gone all Mccarthy and changed it to the Red Menace.

That is also a cool name. I like Red Storm better, though.

If you’re talking about the Redskins it’s funny. You go into SE or Trinidad and you’ll still see people wearing Skins hats and gear. The people who cared about the team name was people not from the area or white people that moved in and gentrified enough of the city. Most local fans didn’t care.

I know the team had been controversial since the 90s.

I don’t like how people always brush off criticism by saying “only [majority group] cares, [minority group] liked it, most of the time it’s not correct.
