You're a 'sheeple' bro. The epitome of a false follower; an ultra liberal. ~One does not simply see almighty God~ *so let's be agnostic as ~hell~ and deny everything, and therefore have absolutely no standing at all* ~but pretend otherwise~
What the hell are you talking about, dope? Seriously, you're a complete idiot. Go get yourself a bib.:loser:
They are morons, leftwing morons.
The last time they were polled, 90% of native Americans said they have no problem with the word. So who is being offended, besides that senile fart Harry Reid?

Both of my grandmothers were Cherokee, I can't speak for them but it doesn't bother me. It cracks me up. I hope they keep the name as a monument to the racist ignorance of some people. I always enjoy when people show their true colors and it's nice to know that sometimes members of the rich can be complete rubes, even more so than the less fortunate.
I bet that makes you think about why some people want so badly to eliminate these kind of things in society.... Someone's got a lot of shame.

Please please.
The Dallas Cowboys are a bunch of rough playing football players.
Many of them have been Black Men.
No One that I know of ever thinks of Wild Bill Hickok or Buffalo Bill Cody when people say Dallas Cowboys.
No one says, that I know of, that black men were not normally cowboys in the wild west.
The Dallas Cowboys took the rough tough picture of what might have been needed to be a cowboy and idealized it into their team.
If you want to be offended - be offended with little children who played Cowboy and Indians.
But Washington Redskins took a complimentary ideal from the past as an image and made it their own.

worked with a fellow at the hospital years ago - he was from the rez - Akwesasne, up in nny - typical big dumb quiet injun
but.... when you got him talking you realized he was smart as a whip
we used to joke around all the time - he'd call me paleface (or mock me when i showed up sunburnt) and i'd call him redskin
i wonder what he'd think of all this nonsense :idunno:
:think:
of course you do town, just like you sympathize with all those poor poor oppressed perverted homosexuals ("some of the nicest people you could know!") who are being denied their "civil rights"
it's a natural artifact of the guilt you hold from your southern heritage
born too late to have a hand in the civil rights movements of the sixties, you are eager to jump on any bandwagon you can find
And there's that ^^^^^^
What about a bloody scalp is "complimentary"?
you'd have to be a complete retard to think that "redskin" = "bloody scalp"
oh wait
it's granite
never mind
The Native Americans or the people whose opinion really doesn't matter except as commentary?
Which was actually up from the poll that preceded it by a decade. So that's ten percent of the population represented finding agreement with Websters and asking for its removal.
Ten percent of the people actually being represented. And there's no real defense for that, which is why so many people make the issue about something else, like you only just did.
And so it continues...it's about liberals, or freedom or money. Anything but a large and growing part of the population simply objecting to a historically negative stereotype.

It's like saying anyone objecting to blackface is a bluenose censor who wants to shut down entertainment everywhere in America.

Like I said, let's see how long. And if you don't think there will be concessions to use the images, or names then read the article

There will be restrictions on use, there might be Tribe input to ensure a more accurate representation and there will also be compensation for that use.
Let's see.

I wouldn't be surprised to see legal action at some point. But launching and winning are two different things and so is the objection and any future attempt to do that and the current consideration.
And I think it's funny to suggest that the namer and users of the word have the best intentions and then to suggest anyone opposing them must not.
I don't see compensation in anyone's future except the Washington team owner who, if he plays this smartly, will make a boatload of money in new team item sales.
