Re: Around the NFL...Week 5 Style
Im still trying to figure out who decided it was racist, since it wasnt the Indians. The real racist term at that time was "Injun".
200 years ago, people called you by what the color your skin looked with the word skin after it. As much as people joke about whiteskins, thats what whites were called back then. African American/Blacks were called blackskins. Indians (both native american and from India and that part of Asia) were called redskins, and hispanics as well as chinese/japanese/korean ect were called yellowskins. One thing I have never understood. There were these people that killed Indians at will. A group of people that said beating a 5 year old Indian child to death with the stock of the shotgun was to fun to waste a bullet on them. Yet no one wants to outlaw the sports term... COWBOYS... |

We stopped at one of the Indian markets on the side of the road one day and saw a couple wearing Redskin hats. Also while driving one day to see a place called four corners, saw a high school on a reservation and their mascot was a Redskin. I know that none of this makes it right or politically correct.

Re: Around the NFL...Week 5 Style
Words only have the power you give them. Seems like a few select Native Americans choose to make this an issue. The word "choose" was used specifically. Is there any great outcry about this anywhere?

Re: Around the NFL...Week 5 Style
some one posted a ESPN article that seemed to be a weekly installment of like a "all pro" team. I thought it was kind of neat but can't find the newest addition.

Re: Around the NFL...Week 5 Style
They're done. When they lost Revis you could tell it totally burst Ryan's bubble, and it showed against the 49ers.

If they are smart, they should start McIlroy and see what he can show.

Re: Around the NFL...Week 5 Style
At the same time, probably let's Ryan off the hook this year - he gets to blame any failures on losing Holmes and Revis. Much as I don't like the guy, those are pretty big hits to both sides of the ball. Hard to compensate for that.
