Confirmed: Washington Redskins bends the knee like little sissies to the mob and BLM and will retire the Redskins name and logo?

I don’t know, man, this one isn’t just out of the blue, it’s been debated for years. I’m surprised it’s lasted this long as it is. It seems like natives think it’s offensive, and they’re the ones whose opinions ultimately matter in this case. I mean what if some white-owned sports team called themselves a nickname that was offensive to Hispanic/Latino people? I’m not saying you’d cry yourself to sleep at night over it, but I can’t imagine it’d make you feel that comfortable or welcome, and certainly you’d have to feel insignificant since probably a lot of Hispanic/Latino people would be vocal about taking offense, and everyone else being like “whatever, deal with it, we don’t care if you like it or don’t.”

The big thing is that this is the only change happening right now. We’ll have to see how far it goes, but for now, it’s not like it’s been this sweeping change. Amazon isn’t pulling down Kansas City Chiefs or Atlanta Braves apparel. There’s just a lot of societal clean-up going on in terms of racial insensitivities right now, and I think the Redskins name just got pushed back onto the table like “... and another thing, why are we still having to talk about THIS? We’re at least 5-10 years late on this one, if not 50.”

I personally wasn’t offended by the imagery of the logo, I thought the native guy pictured looks stately and dignified. I guess it’s not for me to call it “respectful” or not, but if it’s possible in the opinion of natives to do it respectfully at all, then I think that was accomplished, in my opinion. The skin tone is kinda iffy just because of the surrounding sensitivity, but in fairness, many teams have logos with colors that aren’t true to life and are just going with a chosen color scheme. Chief Wahoo of the Cleveland Indians, on the other hand, was just embarrassing, good riddance. But I thought of Washington’s logo as pretty classic. Like in a very basic, binary sense, I saw that logo at a very young age, and it made me feel positively about natives. I don’t find the logo as offensive as the name. And enough natives have been vocal about it, when you barely hear a peep from them about anything else. Obviously you can find some who don’t give a shit, but plenty don’t like it and have said so, and coming from them, that’s really all I need to know.

I’m all for scaling back on some of PC sensitivity stuff, at least in terms of jokes and whatnot. I’m starting to fear that I’ll never see a good comedy movie again because everyone will have to write with such limitation and not doing anything edgy that could possibly offend anyone. Believe me, I’m not some easily-offended person. Less than a year ago I was out at the bars in Austin, Texas and some “woke” white college chick who came up to holler at me for her friend starts questioning me about my necklace with a buffalo nickel and an arrowhead I was wearing, asking if I’m at least an eighth Native American, lmao. I wasn’t rude to her but I didn’t apologize and just kind of shut her down. I’m wearing it right now actually, haha. But we’ve just come to a time period in history where people are starting to speak up about certain things, and I feel like it’s very disrespectful not to listen and rather to race to dismiss and delegitimize what a particular group has to say when they say it.

Native Americans have no problem with the name, the only people with a problem were white liberals and maybe native American politician Elizabeth Warren 🤔
The NFL needs to remember who their fans are, the same people calling for taking a knee and supporting Kaepernick are the same people who are actually calling for American Football and all full contact sports to be banned and replaced with hackey sac, the more you pander to SJWs the worse they get with even more ridiculous demands as Starbucks keeps finding out. American Football is the goose that laid the golden egg the NFL, Nfl Francises and playerd need to wake up and see this.

Talk about insecurity!

These people get offended over the most retarded stuff.

Normally I would agree about bending to the mob, but I've always had a problem with the name. People don't realize that the term "Redskin" actually referred to the bright red color of the underside of a scalp. Not really such a great thing to memorialize as a football mascot.

I'm a New York Giants fan, so they can call them the Washington Yambags. 😂

Seriously I agree, changing the name of a sports team really does nothing in terms of legitimate "change".

[Massageman]

I don't like the idea to change either. But I can take or leave sports in general.

[reptocarl2]

I’m surprised by your disgust cool guy but I do agree with you.

[Seeingdouble]

I heard that most native Americans actually like the name so I don’t understand why people made a big deal out of it

They need to create a football team called whitetrash with a white guy as the logo
