Would Sunburned Epidermis soothe their feelings?

I know a girl I used to work with who loved the Redskins and she got a fairly large tattoo of their logo on her leg. I wonder what she thinks of the controversy.

How about Washington Grifters? Their mascot could be the Clinton's.

I can just see the new name.....the “Washington Pantywaists”. Would that offend anyone?

Somebody wants to be the injun Al Sharpton.

Speaking of which, the Cleveland Indians will be next, with calls to change their name to the “Cleveland Native Americans”.

Go bother the Vancouver Canucks.

it is NOT RACIST IF ANYTHING it is a complimentOur country has a history. Most of us like to honor it by remembering it. These clowns need to crawl back into their wig-wams and beat their tom-toms and shut up.

Let's not stop there. How about people who drive CHEROKEES, TACOMAS, or the bikers who ride INDIANS? I know a fellow motorhead who restored a 1957 Chevy pick-up, they were called APACHES. I learned to drive on my Dad's 62 PONTIAC. If that ain't unPC enough on Pontiacs built from the 40's-60's, the high beam indicator was a little RED Indian head that would light up above the speedometer.

Remember when the old Baltimore Bullets moved to DC? They changed their names to the Wizards in response to the horrific murder rate there. Yeah, that silly move put a real dent in DC crime didn’t it? Well, didn’t it?

Since that’s the way they feel I’m all for removing ALL aboriginal references in place names from the US.

They will choose some metrosexual name to keep from offending.
So how in the world are the Cowboys going to fight the Silk or the Turkeys (that might be fun)?
Please no comments are necessary about the use of Cowboys and Fight in the same sentence. I am a realist.

Brandon Stevens, an Oneida Nation official told the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal-Sentinel: “The warrior image is not the image we want to be portrayed
What’s wrong with the warrior image?? To me it means strong. A fighter. All good.
This outrage is bizzare to me.

Apparently these Indians haven’t heard. Sharpton gave them the okay as long as he gets his cut. And obama gave the Redskins a waiver.
