The name has been around for ages, it’s Rich In tradition. I never thought about it being offensive to Indians and I’ve never heard of any other Indians complaining about it. How many sports teams have that type of a name The Cleveland Indians The Florida State Seminoles The Atlanta Braves And they do the tomahawk chant with their arms and hands. Everyone is
just getting so paranoid nowadays you can’t have anything say anything or do anything. The owner of the Washington Redskins Daniel Snyder said he would never change The name Redskins. So now He’s basically just selling out for money because he’s getting peer pressure from his sponsors, they are telling him if he doesn’t change the name Redskins that they’re gonna pull out of business deals with him

They lied and sold out, period. And that is based on their own statements and actions since the two SCOTUS rulings in their favor over the past decade.

Sports have become weaponized for pushing the liberal agenda. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for proudly supporting and donating to domestic terrorist organizations. I truly hope it hits their pockets hard. They deserve it.

Lmao. Money, money, money. Don’t want to commit to anything on the quick til they can research and poll people, then check the social temperature of the potential choice. So they’ll just go through an already goofy season with a goofy name and come back fresh next year. It’s all about selling merchandise.

I did she a video some time ago where thy asked some what seemed like young influential and proud of their culture Native Americans and they liked the name and where proud of the teams association to the Native American people. I'm just not sure if this is just white people that find this offensive or if the majority of Native Americans find this offensive.

"Washington football team"? If that's not a placeholder, we may have the incident of a state actually being kicked out of the union.

Changing the team name is fine. Changing it to "Football Team"? Dumb. They should've just kept the name "Redskins" until they had a legitimate new name.

Well if redskins signifies native blood then yes it should be removed. People don’t respect indigenous peoples so why have them as team names.

  It is a sellout. In 2013, Redskins ownership vehemently stated it would "NEVER" happen. "NEVER in CAPS." Direct quote. When it was pushed to SCOTUS, even the possibly offended groups didn't show offense. It is being changed for a political agenda, period.
  
  And if I ever see you post that leverages skin color for clarification purposes, I'll be sure to call out your bogus hypocrisy.

  Yeah, I knew that dud of a response was coming. "Redskins" is not racist. I guess the radical Brown Berets (that represent BROWN people) is racist all on it's on, by it's on people, against it's own people.
- Ad_Quid_Orator
  
  1 y
  @Zeus_66 "Brown" is a description of a skin color, "Redskins" is a racial slur and this whole "the left calls everything they don't agree with racist" talking point is just an Orwellian attempt by reactionaries to silence people who call them out on their dog whistle.
- Zeus_66

  It isn't a racial slur. You can believe it is. But it isn't. That aside, doesn't matter. You just proved just how ignorant you are. "Orwellian" is based on socialist tactics. Orwell himself was a practicing socialist (and atheist than went to church every Sunday, ironically). You ran into someone who has the facts straight. Keep on responding. I'll just keep shredding you useless comments apart.
- Ad_Quid_Orator

  @Zeus_66 It has been widely used as a derogatory term for Native Americans and the use of things are called "Orwellian" because he described that behavior, not because he advocated it. Obviously you're completely clueless about history.

  So says the responder who doesn't say anything with substance.
  
  Look. I already told you that you ain't gonna win. You can keep trying. But it ain't happening. Remember, you started this by stating the name "Redskins" is a racial slur, yet didn't back it up with anything. And why would a team name themselves after a slur? You mean it never crossed your mind that the team was named that based on a warrior's spirit in battle? It never ceases to amaze me that you have no clue.
