Washington Redskins keep their name

I know.

The Washington Post tells us the Native Peoples are not offended by this.

And they would know after all

I am part native american actually, but for sure, I wouldn't want to speak for a race, that would be racist anyways.

But you haven't actually told me WHO is offended by this? It is a simple question my Giles Corey guy.

Gee. Who do you think is offended by the term Redskins? Any guesses?

A little background for you

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a29318/redskin-name-update/

You dude, I am not asking for random facts from 100 years ago. I am asking you, who is offended by this name NOW!?

Who, not some wiki crap.

"redskin" is not offensive because it is used to distinguish native americans from other races, that's it.

You're joking I hope because the above is incredibly stupid.

Oneida Indian Nation are offended by it.

"In 2013, the OIN renewed a campaign to compel the Washington Redskins to change their team name and mascot. The OIN leader Halbritter launched the website "Change the Mascot." In 2014-2015 there was new publicity related to this national campaign, with other Native American tribes participating."

So there you go a tribe of Native American Indians are offended by it.

That answers your question.

What's your next point?

Liberals find a way to be offended by everything.

And the Republican Party allowed itself to be overtaken by the many Trumpers who are offended by everything those liberals complain about. They are the "forgotten" people boo hoo, etc.

Trump's followers turned the party into exactly what they whine about.

Awww, thank you!! Yes, finally someone freaking answers that only question that matters in this subject.

But from what i know, 90% of American Indians done by a Washington Post pole, the most liberal paper on freaking earth, said they were NOOOOT offended.

Only you virtue signaling crapshoots care about this crap. As the Indians dont care about it the same way the Irish done care about a freaking leprechaun as a mascot.

In a poll conducted recently by the WashingtonPost, nine out of 10 Native Americans said they were not offended by the Redskins’ nickname.

Seven out of 10 respondents said they didn’t feel the word Redskin is disrespectful to Native Americans,and eight out of 10 said they would not be offended if a non-Native American person called them a Redskin.

The poll surveyed 504 people from every state and Washington, D.C. Of those surveyed, 44% said they were current members of a Native American tribe and 51% said they were pro football fans. The results of the poll “were broadly consistent regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations,” the Postwrote.

In a 2014 poll by SI.com, 25% of NFL fans said Washington should change its nickname and 79% said they did not find the nickname offensive.

I am certainly not offended by things liberals complain about. I'm not sure where you got that from. Keep making things up based upon your feelings. The sad thing is that more people actually believe your crap.

You posted above a complaint about liberals being offended by everything. The Republican Party...or rather the substantial Trump wing of the Republican Party has simply become a whinefest on what liberals complain about. Yet they don't see their own complaining about being the "forgotten" people as being just as whiny as the liberals.

You're a perfect example of this. Dunning-kruger at its finest. Their leader is the epitome.

Hey spotter, what do you expect a human being to do.

Lib : I think Redskins is racist, even though the Indians themselves not only originally approved of it, but don't even care about it now.

Everyone else : STFU and stop complaining you whinny spoiled pocrap and trying to change history.

Lib : Amazing how much you complain about what we complain about.

Everyone else: Then stop trying to change crap that noone cares about but you dummmy.

Short bus alumni I see.

There is an important piece of information here that no one is bringing up....

Snyder has been adamant about not changing the team name...

It just so happens that the Redskins lease is up at their current stadium in 2027. It is no secret that Snyder wants to return the team to DC and build on the RFK site...the problem with that is the land RFK sits on belongs to the federal government...and they won't approve of a new stadium until the Redskins change their name.

Don't think for one second that the fact they have been really struggling to get support for a new stadium from Virginia, DC and Maryland isn't on Snyders mind as he "decides" to change the team name.

How much of this name change is public pressure/NFL pressure/corporate pressure? Probably a good amount, specially since Snyder is very much concerned about his public profile . That being said, I'm guaranteeing you the new stadium and possible funding for it are also playing into this decision heavily..

I see.

A blatantly racist term used against Native Peoples in the 1800s is no longer offensive?

How does that work?

I guess the N word no longer offends anyone now either?

Simple: Washington Warriors. They wouldn't even have to change the logo. No one is offended by being called a Warrior.

Snyder's slaves?

I'm sure someone who served in the military and fought for the country would be offended...

I'm sure some random Golden State Warriors fan wouldbe be offended!

I believe it was 90%. How many people need to be offended for it to matter to you? A single Native American probably wouldn't be enough, but 10% is sizeable. I think this just quoted as it is surprisingly small compared to people's expectations. But as others have said, it isn't the biggest issue in their daily life.

Huh? You're wrong on both accounts. Anyone who fought for their Country would have no problem being called a Warrior. What are you talking about? As for the Golden State Warriors. I'm a Bay Area Warrior fan and have no problem with it. I'm also a San Francisco Giants fan and don't confuse them with the NFL's New York Giants.
