Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
How bout lot of Native Americans like having teams named after some type of Indian reference. Last game i was at in Arizona i lost count of Native Americans with redskin jerseys. All this legislation is from a small group and while i cant say for sure in this case, is normally based on money and not honor.
In all seriousness, with the horrible history of their treatment back in the day, don't hold your breath with these lawsuits. I guess what i'm saying is a lot has to be done before we worry bout the names of our sports teams. |

Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
Even if they ever lose they don't have to change the name. They can still be called the Redskins. Redskins are potato's too aren't they? It would be kind of stupid or corny to be named after a potato but could still be called the Redskins.

Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
Even that would get some leftist folks pissed. I graduated from Eastern Mich University back in 1993 as an Eagle, but from 1988-1989 I was a Huron. Back in 1988, a Chippewa woman filed a lawsuit against EMU for the name and logo being offensive. Instead of fighting it the EMU Pres and BOD caved in like a bunch of wimps. The whole irony of the story is that the Central Mich Univ mascot is the Chippewa and after they dropped the arrow from their team logo the Chippewas were happy to have them keep their name. After the EMU BOD dropped the name the two chiefs of the only 2 remaining Huron descendent tribes came to plead the BOD to reverse the decision. Much to there chagrin, they were ignored and treated horribly by the EMU BOD. The only thing that saves the Redskins name and logo is the immense amount of $$$$$$$ the team generates for the local economy. $$$$$$$$$ beats out PC just about every time. |
