Alex Wagner Amazed Not Everyone Finds Redskins Logo Controversial
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/09/2015 5:58:47 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What does MSNBC's Alex Wagner have against stately Indian warriors? On today's Morning Joe, Wagner said it was "amazing" that anyone could look at the Washington Redskins logo and name and not find it controversial.

This NewsBuster can understand the debate over the "Redskins" name. But the logo? Has Alex actually had a look at the logo? Could Wagner be confusing it with the Cleveland Indians' Chief Yahoo? Seriously, what could be more stately, grave and dignified than the Redskin logo?

View the video here.

Well, if he’d pull his head out of his boyfriends butt and listen to actual humans instead of the pinkie out just so latte drinkers, he’d find that nobody really cares except the easily offended.
And the easily offended will simply find something else to be offended by after this..

James O’Keefe needs to start quizzing Democrat members of Congress and the Cabinet who are season ticket holders.

Bonus points for video of them wearing Redskins gear.

Why is it that more non indians find this more offensive than indians do?

It amazes me that people put “Pro-Choice” bumper sticker on their vehicles.

Have a great idea. Replace the pic of the native with Teddy Kennedy and rename the team the Washington Criminals since the team represents the District of Criminals.

There is no honor for native American Indians among those who oppose the logo. The name resdkin was used first by red skins to distinguish themselves from white skins. Neither the name nor the logo are in any way derogatory. Ask a redeskin.

I always thought that Indian tribal names were used because the team admired their toughness and wanted to be like them. I thought it was an honor not an insult. What did I know!

Redeskin sounds like a late night infomercial product to help hide blemishes and blackheads with a thin veneer of elastic skin-like adhesive.

You would think Indians would like that a football team is named after them. Why do the leftists get so offended by skin color? Answer: They’re mire racist than the “bigot” thet chastise.

You joke, but after they get rid of “Redskins”, they will go after the “Washington” part, he owned slaves.

If the owner does not change their name, I think it is only a matter of time until the Washington Redskins will be nationalized. I have no idea what they will be named (probably, the Federals) but I am sure it will be something that will be a poke in the eye to white Christians.

Snyder should rename the team “Washington Foreskins”

That way he can make the gays happy and also at the same time give the home town a more accurate name...
