HTTR! :) Forever a Fan, of the Burgundy and Gold :) A very emotional day, for all of us fans, of the Washington Redskins. Hi angel friends :) these upcoming writings are my heart feelings, emotions,and thoughts about an issue in the news currently. my favorite football team, the Washington Redskins have been in the news. They announced today, that their team name, since 1932 (88 years), and their logo (Native American) since 1971 (designed by a Native American Tribe), is going to be retired. so many emotions, feelings, and fans all around the states, and world, feeling the emotions and feelings of this day. my Redskins team, is gonna be changing their name, and logo. i've been a fan of the team since 1991, almost 30 years now. i'm going to miss the team name, and logo. i've proudly wore my Redskins hats, shirts, over the years and never has anyone told me, it was offensive, but i did get some remarks from other teams fans, like the Giants, Cowboys, and others, because of team rivalries. i've been reading online, the Warpath site,and many fans, talking, sharing stories, memories, of their pride for the Hail to the Redskins, HTTR :)
they're in our hearts. some of the Redskins sponsers, are forcing the team to change their name. to rename the team. in a time when we have a pandemic going on, covid19, and so many lives lost, and the pandemic still going on, it seems that sports teams, and high school sports teams, names of Native Americans honored by teams, are more of a focus for some and the larger issue, Covid 19 should be focused on more. it's disheartening, the sponsers, and some focusing on sports teams names, when there's bigger matters going on in the world, like the virus, covid-19. it's shocking, and my family, Holly, and i all are stunned, that in these times ,their focus is more on sports teams names. it's unfortunate some things that are going on. i have a feeling, the names of the Redskins won't be the only team to change their names. Indians, Braves, Chiefs, Vikings, Bucs. it's gotten political in sports, and taking away the enjoyment. we just wonder, when will all of this stop, the changing of so many ways, traditions, and not in a way of things wanting to be changed, but more of forcing of the way things are, which is wrong. a pandemic going on right now, is much more important, than the names of sports teams, and logos. The world, is fighting to be healthy, to survive this pandemic, and some are more focused on teams names. their priorities are wrong and they should be awfully ashamed of themselves. i'm passionate about this. my Redskins team has done so much for the communities, for all races ,for all people in need, and always been there to support the community in times of need. it's wrong, they've been targeted, and have been forced to change who they are. with a pandemic going on, that's the most important thing, for our world to get well. there's been too many sudden changes for the world lately, change that's gone way too fast, and i think years from now, some people will look back at this time, being a time of over-reaction to make changes to teams nicknames so quickly, when it wasn't thought through enough. we're all for equalness, and history being remembered, and learned from, and growing forward into these new times :) it does feel forced, the team changing their name, and logo. i know true fans like myself, will stick with the team,no matter what their new nickname and logo is :)
i will forever support my team, no matter what their new name is. i am a fan for life, forever, and have so many wonderful memories of collecting Redskins collectibles over the years :) gifts, i've recieved from family, friends, and ones i've bought for myself too :) i'll always cherish and treasure these special collectibles :) as the Redskins get ready to retire the team name, and logo, i'll always remember that excitement i got, and still to this day, when i saw Redskins collectibles in stores, of when i opened a gift from a friend, to see the Redskins team logo : )it's in my heart, it's in all of our hearts :) there is sadness in my heart, that my team is retiring it's name, and logo. i will always support the team though, and their new name, logo, and will cheer for them :) they have a bright future, and an up and coming team that will have success :) i'm a big fan, and i love my team :) Through being a Redskins fan, it brought me even closer to the Native American's history, learning about their history, honoring their heritage, and proud to honor them including about 10 trips to the Mohawk Trail in Massachusetts, in the 1990's. :) it's gonna be very different, the team having a new nickname, and new logo. their history, will never be erased. The Redskins,won 3 superbowls, have been celebrated for 88 years, and that team history, name, logo, may be able to be removed from websites, and history books, but it will never be erased from the hearts of us fans, who are burgundy and gold for life. HTTR :) i just wanted to share my thoughts, feelings, emotions on this very disheartening, and sad day, for fans of the Washington Redskins. we love our team, and want them to flourish ,be successful, and to cheer for them through all times, whether it's a superbowl season, or a rough season. Us Redskins fans, We always stand by and support our team :)
We're enjoying a nice day, blossoming into the new week, with some nice joys of the season :) my family, Holly, and i are doing well, healthy,and in good spirits :) i've been enjoying some nice writing time, browsing online at collectibles, and enjoying some nice time here on DS, writing to friends :) We've been enjoying checking in on our plants from time to time, they're doing really well :) it's an awesome time in the season, with all of the nature flourishing :) Tonight, Holly and i are doing to watch our show :) tomorrow's sweet treats tuesday! :) we look forward to going out to get some treats, and Holly and i are also gonna be celebrating our 9th anniversary of being together :) We have some gifts we ordered for eachother online, and also gonna have some nice foods, snacks, drinks, and enjoying nature, and gardening :) keep healthy, safe, and strong everyone :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us, and for the very special heart warming joy you all bring to our days, our hearts, and our lives :) You all are wonderfully nice, sweet, and very caring :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) big group happy sunny caring sunflower friendship hug :) You all give us strength, hope, inspiring us to enjoy each day to the fullest :) Thank you all, for brightening our days :) We're so happy, thankful, and blessed to have you all in our lives :) We look forward to sharing in many more very special times, adventures, and all of the seasonal traditions and festivities with family, friends, nature, gardening, and the wonderful spirit of the summer season :) We wish everyone a safe, fun, and peaceful holiday weekend :)

Hi Chris Glad you and your family are doing well enjoying the day and new week. So glad the garden is doing awesome the flowers and plants are so green and healthy. I hope you have some pumpkins growing. The apples look great too. I hope the Redskins choose a great new name and logo and that it marks a new beginning for the team. Glad you have lots of fun birthdays and other activities happening this week. Thanks for all my nice hugs today Have a good evening Hugs to everyone-Stephanie
Hi Chris and Holly. I have to agree with you concerning the changing the Redskins name and logo. It is starting to get ridiculous how you have to cater to a few people's ideas of right and wrong. What worries me is how the majority of people are allowing a few to dictate policies of how we have to live. And I agree with you there are a lot more important issues to take care of other than renaming a sports team. There are so many people dying from a disease with no cure and someone is offended by the name of a sports team. Really stupid.
Your garden is really growing. Here we are so in need of rain. A lot of the gardens are drying up unless you water them. We ate worried about our well but John tells us it has never gone dry so we are watching how much we use just to make sure we don't have a problem.
Congratulations to you and Holly on 9 years together. May you two have many more years together and who knows maybe someday there will be a wedding!!!!
Like the pic of the blue Jay. I will have to see if I can get some pictures of our bird friends. We have a lot of new birds this year. We have enjoyed the little kildeers a lot. The pheasants are still coming to the feeder and he is so pretty.
Take care and you and your family have a wonderful week celebrating birthdays. Hugs to you all. John Debbie and Allie
Hi sweet Chris, I’m really sorry they changed the name of the Redskins, your favorite team. Perhaps it will be good. The stuff u do have I think still can use and wear and you’ll get new stuff with their new name. I’m really sorry this upsets u and my prayers r with u. I think sometimes we have changes and we get used to it eventually and u will always love your team. I’m thinking of u and wishing well. Hugs and love friends forever
