The NFL wants to take any recognition of Native Americans out of society.

To piss liberals off, I like to call them Siberian-Americans or Previous-Americans.

I’m waiting to see if all the bazillions of people sporting Redskins paraphernalia get beaten up.

I know several people whose Dobes and Rotts walk around wearing those bandannas.

This could get...interesting.

:)

You jest but when my dad took us to see that in the local theater, EVERYONE was cheering for the ‘billies.

When people on FB say aunty fay is coming to get us out here, I post “banjo” jokes.

If you have seen the movie Southern Comfort, where the Cajun swampers vanish into the background, yeah, that’s about it.

/embrace the banjo

:D

My elderly father offers the suggestion they rename as the Turd Tumblers.

Pandering to the MOB as usual in this wimpy America we live in now. When did all these people become eunuchs?

p.s ...Fact is there was news coverage up near the Canadian border about the Blackfeet family whose ancester was the model for the original Redskin helmet, and is still the basis for the the name, gear, etc.

re: "The image depicted on the Redskins helmet is of John "Two Guns" Whitecalf, a Blackfeet Chief whose likeness also appeared on the Buffalo nickel, minted from 1913-38."

Google "Two Guns" Whitecalf to see more of the story about gutless white terrorists despoiling the name and memory of a proud Indian family who disapprove of the whole process of ethnic cleansing.
