So, a big protest will greet the Redskins when they go to Minnesota to play the Vikings??
Are they also going to protest the Viking nickname? The Vikings were cruel invaders weren’t they? Isn’t that name offensive to the Viking peoples?
What about Pittsburgh Steelers? Offensive to real steelworkers?
Boston Celtics and Notre Dame Fighting Irish? Offensive to those of Celtic and Irish descent?
Dallas Cowboys, offensive to real cowboys?
San Diego Padres and New Orleans Saints, offensive to Catholics???
Why aren’t they also after the Kansas Cith Chiefs, Cleveland Indians, and Atlanta Braves??? Why just the Washington Redskins???
They probably have gone after them at one time or another. Right now, it is the Redskins. You forgot to mention my Blackhawks. The PC crowd has talked about them too.
Because it contains the word "skin", preceded by a color. It's easy to convince the sheep it's racist. And they know damn well that PC metrosexual sports consumer types won't lift a finger to learn the actual history of the term.
They're going to win this battle. The Redskins will eventually acquiesce.
