American Indians are SUPPOSED to be offended by the Washington Redskins’ name. If they aren’t, then they need to be sent to sensitivity training, so that they can be trained to become sensitive.
DenocRATs -N- Liberals never allow facts or the truth to sink their logic, if you call it that.
My football team is the Washington Redskins. I refer to them most of the time as the Redskins or just plain old skins. When they lose (which is quite often) I normally add an expletive deleted in front of their name.
My son in law, love him as I do even though he is an Eagles fan, refers to my beloved team as the “foreskins.” Now that is just wrong!
Needless to say I keep reminding him that the Redskins have more superbowls and championships than his damn team.
Fighting liberalism is ultimately a fight against absurdity. As a result, it takes more than logic to beat them. If all it took were being right, we would have won decades ago.
Years ago Dennis Praeger interviewed someone claiming to be a “Native American activist” trying to pressure teams like the Redskins, Indians, Chiefs, etc to change their names. He asked Praeger, an ordained Rabbi how he would like it if there were a team called the Texas Jewboys. Mr. Praeger laughed and said he would be overjoyed because finally after 5000 years someone would be cheering for us
i’ve been finding the Redskins offensive for years...they can’t beat anybody...
PETA actually had an interesting idea. Call the team the Redskins, but change the mascot to a pile of small spuds.
Since most of the folks who attend home games are DC parasites, I think the name should be changed to the Washington Tapeworms.
No, you choose a team name that evokes fierceness, power, speed, commitment, teamwork... You pick a name people associate with these things. Call me crazy, but I wouldn't mind being associated with those traits. Sadly, no-one names their team "average white guys"... Well, maybe a beer-league softball team...
The only way I see "Washington Redskins" as offensive to Native Americans is when they perform badly - oh, and many of their fans are some of the most fickle fans I've ever run across.
One of the Roosevelts took an interest in keeping the History of the Indians alive. That's when all the names evolved and their history was revived.
Being a warrior was a Pride thing....just about all the Indians cared about.
So be it.
The only “Indians” offended by the REDSKINS name are those honky Woodstock Indian princesses and honky drugstore Indians like Fauxchahontas Warren.
Figured this already, there’s a HS in Arizona that’s nearly 100% Native American and their team name is the Redskins and the kids like it.
