Washington Redskins name - what if hypothetical situation

[unit321]

So we know that there are Native Americans who do not like the word "Redskins" used as a team name.
Let's say, a collaboration of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casino owners and others got together and bought out the Oakland Raiders and then renamed them the Oakland N*ggers. but they didn't replace the i with a *.
How would you feel? Would you protest? Would you feel angry? Would you buy a team baseball cap and t-shirt as soon as possible? Would you have mixed feelings about it?

I would be upset by it.

What does being a former cop have to do with this?
There are a lot of black people who are Redskins fans, and much like white fans, they don't see the offense in the word Redskins.

Those black people are stupid because Redskin is a derogatory term and unless they would like to be called ****** as if it's a commonplace term to be used in regular conversation they should check themselves.

Okay, what if a group of new owners renamed the Oakland Raiders to the Oakland Chinks. Then changed the emblem to a Chinese dude with a bamboo straw hat and slanted eyes. How would you feel?

Really? Because I'm surrounded by Redskins fans who are black. There are a lot of them in the mid-Atlantic/Washington DC region.

Yeah really. To be a minority in this country and to be ok with a professional sports team being named after a derogatory slur is retarded plain and simple.

They're not even close to being the same thing.


And if you wanted to have a black analog, it would be Negro.

Don't want to be the finger-pointer, but RGIII jersey sales went through the roof after he joined.

That's because he is/was a highly popular college player and people had an interest in seeing him play, especially for a team that was in dire need of a big name QB that would help lead their franchise.
