  1. There’s literally zero correlation between the Giants new pants and a player choosing to wear a number because of reasons, yet somehow that latter statement constantly gets brought up out of context and without being provoked.

  2. I found more joy in watching Hamilton-Winnipeg (CFL) than I did Pittsburgh-Dallas. Both games were on at the same time.

     

    I suppose it’s because both Pittsburgh and Dallas have arguably the two most annoying fan bases AND teams in the league and I have zero attachments to the CFL.

     

    What does it for me is I always try to find a player on each NFL team I can root for. The Steelers and Cowboys don’t have any of my concern.

    Seems like everything they've done from 2020 on has been perfect. Field design and graphics for this season are improvements too. Just hope they figure out how to have a real logo one day...

    Maybe one day an updated version of this will grace the 50 yard line

  4. The thing is, with every Nike rebrand, the team will 100% want its own custom font to differentiate from everyone else.

     

    IMO, the only number font that should have never seen the light of day was Tampa Bay 1.0. They fixed that mistake this time around. The Rams number font is completely fine because at least it’s legible.

    They were pushed into doing it, but the fact remains they did it (while the KC Chiefs lay low without any outcry).    Again, it goes back to how they rebrand it.   They could use a different symbol altogether.     The Pentagon is full of warriors, it's not unique to Natives.   Dozens of examples here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrior

     

    If Warrior has the historical context you claim, then GS should not be allowed to use it, voluntary rebranding or not.

     

    Whatever.   Don't give me Red Wolves which no one associates with DC.   

     

     

    They need to stay away from Native American imagery as much as “America! F Yeah!” imagery.

     

    The team could utilize “Warriors” with whatever connotation they want, but everyone would know it’s just “old name+”

    In the last photo here (of Eagles Miles Sanders) even the TV announcers commented that he wouldn't have stumbled up if not for the undershirt.  I think these photos are indisputable evidence that there's some hinderance.  Maybe not for an offensive lineman, but for these guys.  As for why the coaches don't say anything?  I don't know - maybe football coaches aren't as smart as people make them out to be.  They spend too much time trying to draw up plays to exploit mismatches when all they have to do is tell their players to dress like professionals.

     

    EDIT: that's actually not the photo of Miles Sanders getting tackled by his shirt, but same point.

    Do you have some kind of alert set up where you get notified every time I post so that you can follow it up with some dumb meme or some other thing?  Seriously - you don't need to react to every post I make - especially those that don't concern you.

    I mean when you keep regurgitating the same ol “these ‘jabronis’ don’t know how to dress” nonsense, it gets tiresome after a while. Who cares. They get paid millions to do what they love. Look, we all get it. Aesthetically, it looks like crap, but if they want to dress like that to feel comfortable or to (unfortunately) risk injury (which for some reason you’ve been known to wish upon a player), it shouldn’t be your concern.

     

    Want to truly stop the undershirt problem? Maybe these defenders should learn how to tackle properly because obviously holding onto a shirt for dear life isn’t the answer.

    I realize that this is the “hindrance” you’re talking about. What I’m saying is that it if it was this huge, game changing  problem, the players OBVIOUSLY wouldn’t do it with so much money on the line. The coaches would OBVIOUSLY say something, and it just wouldn’t happen. But it seems like getting dragged down by their jerseys isn’t a big concern it terms of performance/dosent happen that much, so oh well 🤷‍♂️ Again, I get your aesthetic problem with it. But pretending you know more about “the distinct performance difference between an untucked jersey and a tucked jersey”, than actual NFL players Jabronis, is silly. 

    FIFY

    Golden State Warriors have never used any native iconography.   For Washington to assume warriors must equate only to a reference to Native Americans is more insulting.  Don't believe me?  Ask these guys
