You certainly have a right to your own opinion.

You just don't have the right to think that anybody, (but your mother), is obliged to care what your opinion is.

Soooooooooooooooooo..., SO WHAT?

You are absolutely right. I have a right to post a news story here as much as anybody.

...and I have a right to be ignored as much as anybody!!

What term would you use for the Red Mesa high school football team on the Navajo reservation?

The Thinskins vs the Redskins..Personally, I think they should change the name to The Washington Indian Redskins..That should piss somebody off.

paulat: Huh? I got more conservative cred than you could ever dream about.

It is possible to have a few wildcard opinions and still reasonably consider one's self to have "conservative cred."

But some opinions are disqualifying on their face. Your hyper-sensitive P.C. sentiment expressed in this thread strikes me as close to the line. I don't know what your ideological bona fides might be, but your opinion here leaves me with little desire to know more.

I don't get your point...no one is objecting to "Indians."

The Redskins are a skidmark on the underwear of life.

Changing the name of the Redskins would be as stupid as changing the name of the Bullets to the Wizards.

Not to disparage your position, of course ;-)

Careful what you wish for. With the push by the homosexual Nazis, we could end up with teams names like: Swishers, Drama Queens, Dykes on Bikes, Hand holders, Sissies, Rainbow Skins, Head Hunters, Humpback’s,

I remember getting up at six in the morning with my cousins and fixing a bowl of raisin bran and watching the indian head test pattern of the Buffalo TV station for half an hour before the cartoons came on.

It was magic.

People have to lighten up a little.
