NFL Official - The Name "Redskins" is not a slur.

[winb83]

Aren't you the same person who complains about the world being "too PC" and too easily offended? So why do you now all of a sudden care about this "outrage" over a team name? Especially when a bunch of white politicians all of a sudden want to start caring about minorities especially a group of minorities that white people disenfranchised to a severe degree? And when polls show that this isn't a major issue?



What sense would it make to name a publicly traded sports team after a "racial slur"? Especially when a Native American high school uses the same name?

I'm not Native American and even i can see how inappropriate this is. The team shouldn't be named "Redskins" its even further inappropriate when you hear the story of how the team got the name. all these Native American themed teams with that logo should be changed in my opinion. these shyts are from an era where nobody gave a fukk about racially charged stuff against minorities.

This isn't even about being politically correct its about having tact. some guy has a football team called the Braves and there's a baseball team also called the Braves so they can't have two teams in the same arena with the same name so the football Braves become the "Redskins" so they can keep the same logo but be different. back then nobody really gave a shyt so it stayed and now in a much more civilized era they still have that name and the powers that be say it should stay due to tradition. well guess what there was a point in American history where slavery was tradition. something being so doesn't make it right or appropriate.

Apparently them being sued by actual Native Americans that find offense with the name isn't enough for you to say its inappropriate because the general public most of which aren't native american don't really care.

NFL is the most full of shyt league... And yet its the most popular disgusting

Writers actually calling for a Clippers name change too?

Do you really think they have any trust for white people after all the things they've dealt with? And these politicians writing letters aren't really going to do anything. Even the Native Americans know that.

yeah true, that must be why they dropped the issue

funny how now YOU are speaking for them

coli militants being paternalistic now

just proves you're being self-serving on here instead of righteous. i wonder if you'd even be interested in this if you weren't a redskins fan

I obviously wasn't talking about those politicians. I was talking about people like Harry Reid and other white people like him. Which is why I said WHITE.

And some Twitter campaign is not going to accomplish anything.

You're always coming up with the worst analogies.

79% of white people

the poll only had 768 native americans out of 66,000 people polled

Of the 768, 90% didnt have a problem with the name

NFL official says Washington Redskins name is 'not a slur' - ESPN

This guy:

Dude is saying the sentiment of the NFL offices, but not realizing they sent him out there as the scapegoat to test the waters.

He'll probably get fired behind this while all along thinking he's standing up for the nFL

What are you even talking about? That's not an analogy its stating a fact. Something being tradition doesn't make it right or acceptable.

A Twitter campaign will be ineffective for something like this. If it's not affecting the sponsors, it's a waste of time period.
