Don't see any of us making hundreds of millions of fdollars by exploiting them either. Then on top of that having the audacity to try and undermine an entire group of people by pulling this silly stunt.

Bruh let's keep it 100.

If their name was Tree Bark the money will be the same. THE PROBLEM is there is already an established entity with a fan base that is WHY the name won't change

Snyder is giving what? .005% of his income?. I don't see you donating that

 

[Mr swag]

I already put 10 dollars aside to donate. What y'all doing

 

[dennis roadman]

he should give each tribe a cut of the overpriced seats and parking fees we're supposed to pay just to watch his fukking team be inconsistent at best

 

[PS5 Pro]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How you gonna put a slur AGAINST a group of people IN the foundation you claiming is supposed to help them???

How does he not have people to tell him how dumb this is?

It does appear iffy
But, its a fact that the term Redskin is NOT a racial slur. Its used on reservations even today for high schools etc.

So since that is true, what we all need to realize is A bunch of white people who are not even Native American like to claim they are
And that the term Redskins offends them
Then there are the opportunist out there looking for a buck, wanna act like they offended
Damn shame what greed will do to people. Hail to those Redskins

Dan Snyder isn't backing down from continuing to use his team's embattled nickname. Now the Washington Redskins' owner is trying to change perception by making a public overture towards American Indians.

In a letter posted Monday on the team's website

, Snyder announced the creation of the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation, which will aim "to tackle the troubling realities facing so many tribes across our country."

The letter quoted three tribal leaders, including Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians chairwoman Mary L. Resvaloso, whom Snyder quoted as saying, "There are Native Americans everywhere that 100% support the (Redskins) name. I believe God has turned this around for something good."

Snyder wrote that he and his staff have traveled to 26 tribal reservations across 20 states in the past four months. The letter cited statistics on the poverty rate on reservations as well as rates of diabetes, alcohol and drug abuse, violence and suicide among American Indians.

"I believe the Washington Redskins community should commit to making a real, lasting, positive impact on Native American quality of life — one tribe and one person at a time," Snyder wrote. "I know we won't be able to fix every problem. But we need to make an impact. And so I will take action."

That won't include changing the Redskins name, which has been the target of intensified criticism by activist groups in recent months.

Snyder opened the letter by saying he "believe(s) even more firmly" than he did several months ago "that our team name captures the best of who we are and who we can be, by staying true to our history and honoring the deep and enduring values our name represents."

He also wrote he has been "encouraged by the thousands of fans across the country who support keeping the Redskins tradition alive."

The new foundation has already begun work, Snyder wrote, and is being led by Gary Edwards, a Cherokee and retired deputy assistant director of the U.S. Secret Service.

What has me going in all this is how this greedy, hypocritical Jew A-hole just 4 years ago caught a hissy fit and shouted "anti-Semitism" to the fukking rafters after a local newspaper drew devil horns on him to signify what a horrible & shady owner he was. Dude even filed a defamation lawsuit against the paper cause he perceived the editorial totally wrong and looked like a huge idiotic vagina in the process. So yeah, "slur" the "chosen people" ( @ them being the "chosen" anything) and you'll feel their nebbish wrath, while on the flipside do anything and everything possible to condone and justify your use of a slur of a marginalized group of people for your profit margins.

The things these people do . But hey, sometimes you just gotta realize that cacs gon' cac

This is rich. The owner of the Washington Redskins, Dan Snyder, has sued the Washington City Paper for a column he claims defamed him and used anti-Semitic imagery. That’s right, the man who hasfamously defended his right to name an entire football team after an ethnic slur is playing the ethnic card because a columnist made fun of him.
