The Washington Post released a poll on Thursday, which showed that 90% of Native Americans do not take offense to the word, Redskins. The sports media responded to this poll by apologizing for decades of fear-mongering, race-baiting, and trying to make a national crisis out of something that is not even a crisis in the Indian community.

Just kidding. They freaked out.

On ESPN’s Around the Horn, host Tony Reali asked his panel whether or not the fact that the supposedly offended Native Americans, being not so offended, changed their views on the issue?

Spoiler alert: it didn’t:

Blacks are simply too dumb not to be offended if they are told to be offended.

That is so racist.... AND has enough truth to it to be funny.

Tuscaloosa means black warrior in some tribe. according to historic marker down by the river.

If every lake, stream, highway, state, county, city, town, village, placename, epithet and sports team were stripped of any native american reference, native american history would be a mytholoigcal thing. The history of America would be stripped of its founding.Native American words keep their heritage alive. The libs want to wipe the history of native americans from the face of the earth. That is the unintended consequence of progressive stupidity in the face of facts they deny.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

Anadarko Oklahoma. Indian capital of the nation. 41% of the population is Native American.

And home of the Redskin Theater.

Thanks rktman. Cable providers need to be made aware that ESPN has to GO from their lineup or else.

There is an 'issue' that disappeared.

Good for the owner that he didn't cow down to the PC bullies!
