Oneida Indian officials who oppose the Redskins nickname as a slur will meet with NFL officials next week in New York City, a tribe spokesman said Friday.
The meeting agreed to by NFL officials this month is scheduled for Wednesday in New York City, Oneida Indian Nation spokesman Brett Stagnitti told the Associated Press. ---SNIP--- Halbritter, whose tribe runs a large casino resort in Verona in central New York, says the name is degrading and has devastating effects, especially on younger Indians.

To quote Donald Trump,”They don’t look like Indians to me”
The White Boy bigots are at it again. Actually, the reservations were set up to keep white people separated from the Indian people—people exactly like you.
Can’t change the name to the Washington Alcoholics if it represents Indian people. There are far more white boy alcoholics than there are Indian alcoholics.
Call them the Gamblers.
If that’s true, it apparently hasn’t worked well. So, I’m a “bigot” because I say the truth? Interesting take there on things, no?
Why not name the team the Washington White Trash? It’s a far more appropriate name.
Does the Redskin represent the Oneida, or is it some other tribe?
I’ve got it!
Name them the “Washington Engines” and that should make everyone happy.
Hardly derogatory....the original intention of all these names BY SAID EVIL WHITE MAN was to recognize and promote the indian people as a different people. Tell the Indians to get a real job instead of being a bunch of moochers.
Perhaps Obama and his boot lickers didn’t give enough “aid” to the Indians.
How about Washington Scalpers. Then when Sharia Law is implemented, it will be even more appropriate.
LOL
Lots of that going around these days. If you say “queer” or “fag”, you might get scolded for being insensitive.
Probably Chief Running Bear Jae Jackson...
SHAKE DOWN!
Please respect the wishes of this person who is obviously a full blooded native american.

I think they should go with “Washington Paleface”, then the liberals will whine that is is not inclusive.
How about we come up with some alternate names?
Some suggestions:
Savages
Maroonskins
Tontos
NativeAsians
Loinclothes
Peacepipers
I think the logo is based on the Indian head nickel, which according to Wikipedia, “... In 1938, Fraser stated that the three Indians had been “Iron Tail, a Sioux, Big Tree, a Kiowa, and Two Moons, a Cheyenne”. The Chicago Blackhawks did the same. Their logo looks nothing like Chief Black Hawk, a Sauk, who had a tall, thin, red “Mohawk”.
