They have nothing better to do with their lives other than b!tching about the name "Redskins." It doesn't affect their lives or rights in anyway, but we're offended so it has to be banned. If someone named a team the crappy crackers, I wouldn't give two shits because it doesn't change my life in anyway. People who are offended need to stop being little babies and get a life.
Why are you so upset about this? Today it's silly to have a team named redskins. Years ago, it was not so silly. Years ago nothing derogatory was meant when the word retarded was used. Now that word is out of favor and is used sometimes as an insult. Words change over time, it's not all that unusual.
I'm not upset. Its just a ridiculous debate that shouldn't be happening. Just because the name is silly, which I don't agree with, doesn't mean it should be changed or banned.
