That would require them to actually care about the Native Americans, and the history of the USA would indicate there has never been much care for them unless it met the needs of the white man.

Ah yes, the USA, the world's first and unique evil entity. I'm sure if the Native Americans had superior force we'd all be walking hand in hand right now, singing kumbaya.

Now back to reality: The history of humanity would indicate that there has never been much care for the weak unless it met the needs of the mighty. If anything, the USA has been the most benevolent superpower to the weak than any before and likely after (assuming China succeeds us), the unique existence of reservations is proof of that.

It doesn't offend me. I'm not Indian. If it offends them and they openly and consistently say it does, that group of all groups deserve to be heard about it.

I still think it's silly to change the name.

Yeah we sure were benevolent. What we did to them
amounted to acts of genocide.

Yep, Washington Redskisn to DC Redskins. Actually, whatever the nickname I'd take Washington & DC out of the name. Say like Potomac Fighting Politicians. Or Capital City Nutjobs/Liars.

I like “Capital City Cheats” for the patriots if they relocate to DC

If I was a native american person, I'd be more offended that a team that has consistently been **** at football has a mascot based on me. Who wants to associate with that terrible football team?

This is ridiculous. They'll probably change my high school team Southwestern Warriors, as in native American. We have the Florida state chant. Our football field is called the reservation. Gym is the wigwam. Soccer field is the plains lol

That guy is an idiot who doesn't know how the world truly works. There's lots of those. Unfortunately.

My wife is half bow and arrow and an enrolled tribal member. That's what her and her family call themselves. That means Native American in PC speak. She thinks all this Marxist SJW victim mentality bullsh!t is a divisive disease destroying race relations in the country.
I'm black as a lineage can be, and I recognize it for what it is. I'm old and fortunate to have learned beyond the SJW rhetoric. It's white kids like jamal suntan and leadbetter pushing this division. We're all Americans, and shouldn't let centuries old history rule our present day. It's a power grab cloaked in our past. And it pisses me off.

It's refreshing having people like you speak the truth on here from your own mind. It's gotten to the point where it's seems you have to follow the mob rules or be castigated. Thank you.

Man, that's the gospel truth. I see these paid instigators, and I just want to shake them and tell them they've got it wrong. I've seen a lot in my days. And I don't want to lose the ground we've gained.

Thanks man. I appreciate that. I just call it like I see it. And I won't be shouted down. We must come together. We can't be blinded by the magic tricks meant to confuse us.

Bill I never hear anyone talk racist talk and I’m in the South. I keep wondering how all these liberals find all these racists while living in a liberal echo chamber

Name a team the cracker *** gingers and see if I ever get mad. I think it’s more of an honor than anything. They are saying you’re badasses and want to play a sport like you did war.

But seriously, ginger jokes all day every day and no one cares. Smallest minority out there, no love.

I can see how it would be offensive...but as you'd guess it's pretty much privileged white ppl that are being offended for others. Just like no black person was like "thank God we don't have a spokeswoman on a syrup bottle anymore, racism solved!" Most probably don't care, in fact dont, and are curious when instead of virtue signaling they are going to actually do things that help, like education, etc.

Out of the sake of assholeness I think it would be hilarious if they changed the name to white skins or pale skins. Then, instead of being racist for stereotyping a minority, it would be racist bc its not inclusive and supremecy, or something. "So since most players are black should we change it to blackskins?" Hell no bigot thats racist. "Okay what about pale skins?" Hell no bigot that's supremacist and racist towards minorities"

Also not too OT. I find it odd, that several people, in the name of equality, now support segregation as a good thing in several aspects of society. Like playing this other national anthem. Besides the fact that probably 99% of ppl were unaware of it before yesterday, yet are getting their full virtue signal on for it. They are basically saying "separate but equal"

Also- I'm of Irish decent and am appalled at notre dame. We are not leprechauns. And calling us fighting irish plays into the stereotype we all drink and brawl. Out- raged I tell you.

As a red-head coming from a family of red-heads, I can honestly say the Washington Cracker *** Gingers would absolutely become my new favorite team.

I enjoy watching you all get up in arms over this stuff. Your tears are delicious. This is going to be a great next 4 years. So excited to watch these meltdowns intensify.

Gassy, out in real life, I haven't encountered honest to God racist talk in decades. Probably the early 80s. People today just don't do it. We've really come very far. I'm afraid this recent activity will negate it, if we aren't careful.

That's because white people don't usually experience it, and tend to ignore or not understand it when they do.
