Redskins considering name change

[oc16]

I don't support giving into mob demands because it just incentives them to keep throwing more tantrums.

But in this case it might actually be kinda cool cause Native tribes have some of the coolest names: Apache, Comanche, Lakota, Mohawk, Sioux, Cheyenne, Huron, Mojave.....

Yep, Pawnee, Pequot, Oneida, Seneca...etc.

Redskins merchandise is no longer available at Target, Walmart, and ****'s Sporting Goods.

And no longer at Plantation I used to work at, I mean Amazon

Redskins announce they will change name to something else.

How about Washington Social Justice Warriors?

Washington trademark squatter adds to his portfolio

As Washington prepares to change its name, it may have to deal with a man named Martin McCaulay.

I'm done...This is bs of the highest order. The feminine imperative has gone too far. I will be removing ANYONE who is close to me in real life that supports this from my circle entirely.

It meant more to me than just football. I was a Redskins fan because of my grandfather, who meant a lot to me when he was around. This makes me feel cold toward this whole country.

What exactly is BS? A team no longer being named a racial slur?

 

[EyeBRollin]

Dude there is a song called "cry me a river" go and enjoy it for yourself...

That doesn’t answer the question. What exactly is the BS?

 

[zekko]

How about the Washington Woke?

You are bs of the lowest order

I despise you. Get off my thread

It’s a simple question. No need for insults. What is BS about the name change?

Red wolves is in the running, which is dumb to make them red anything, because that is the slur itself.

I won't miss that idiotic tomahawk chop, either, the atlanta braves stole that from fsu. The cardinals have a relief pitcher of native American heritage who they did that to last season, a new cultural low point for baseball.

I thought the skin was the slur. People get very offended about skin.

From what I read, the first documented use of the word was on bounties advertised on native americans. The "red skin" was the scalp turned in to receive the bounty.

Washington Swamp Rats?

The rest of the world is laughing at Americans even more...

You can make any word offensive these days. You're never going to please everyone unfortunately.

I really wish we could go back to the "sticks and stones may break my bones but names can't hurt me" society. Everyone was more calm back then and people knew how to ignore words and fist fights solved a lot of things too. Now you got butt hurt weaklings threatening lawsuits as their only strength because they aren't real men and can't fight, coinciding with how woman do things. Bring back the 'say it to my face and duke it out days. Only baby boomers and Gen X will probably remember those days.

As far as this specifically, changing names is just a political and PR move. If government really wanted to do something for the Native Americans, forget name changes and just give them back more land. I'm sure they would much rather have that. My $.02

I had heard it originated with the Beothuk tribe, who would paint their skin with red paint, but who knows?

 

[zekko]

I heard that redskins was a warriors title??

I've heard that one too. I don't think anyone really knows what the origin of the word was, it's lost to time.
