Re: Breaking News on team name
I have a friend who is a midget who is upset with a team named the giants..true story..he is trying to get a petition up! also didn't cowboys kill native americans ..seems like the native americans are after the wrong team! Also there are atheist who don't like a team called the SAINTS! And how many people did pirates and buccaneers and vikings kill back in the day?? point is somebody will always be offended. heck I am offended by washington the city (politics)..not the Redskin name.

That said, this game is fun: Buffalo Bills - we nearly hunted the species into extinction, how can we exploit a species that humans have caused to be endangered threatened etc. Hell they're another native group that should be offended. Bengals- see Buffalo Bills (not native to America though) Bears- see Buffalo Bills Broncos - glorifying the human eploitation of animals as property and forced labor. Colts - see Broncos Cowboys- see Broncos Dolphins - see Buffalo Bills Eagles - see Buffalo Bills Falcons- see Buffalo Bills Jaguars - see Buffalo Bills Lions - see Bengals Panthers- see Buffalo Bills Rams - see Broncos Seahawks - see Buffalo Bills, but also, ahem, I think you mean Osprey. Seriously where the hell is PETA? WTF? Titans - same as the Giants argument. 49ers - glorifying the exploitation of blue collar hard working Americans. Might as well name a team the Sweatshop workers. Steelers- see 49ers Chargers- named after credit cards, I am personally offended learning this. They are glorifying American materialism, and the exploitation of the American people by the banking industry and the cycle of debt that enslaves us. Browns - Now that is a PC name. Just name your team after the color of the uniform. It is perfectly neutral. We could be the Burgandy and Gold. Done. All team names will be their colors.

And again, we have been though this before, with you claiming it was racist, and even trying to claim evidence that didn't even use the actual word in a racist way. And I called you on it then. Instead you continue display your ignorance, whether it's genuine or trolling on your part. Ignorance is apparently an opinion too, so thank you for displaying it as a Giants fan, I actually appreciate that as a Redskins fan. |

What is ignorant is not understand the other side of the argument.You say there is none so anyone who tries to explain it to you is in your words"ignorant"I feel sorry for you .As I have said before for this to be coming out now or even two years ago is HS and I actually back DS on this issue .Now for you to say the most NA's feel like you do or the word was never a racial slur is not correct believe me or don't it makes no difference to me all I'm doing is voicing my opinion in a forum. You say you called me on it and I threw it back at you .It's called an honest debate. 'Redskins' Is Officially a Dictionary-Defined Racial Slur—in All Cases - ICTMN.com This one says pretty much what you and I both say! Is 'Redskins' a racial slur?

Re: Breaking News on team name
Some of these posts are really fucking stupid. I can't believe some of these are done by adults, I feel like most of them are from college kids who think meat is murder and don't know shit.

Re: Breaking News on team name
The name change thing is just media fodder until the FCC deems Redskins a racial slur and threatens to fine broadcast networks for its use on their airwaves.
Money talks and if the NFL's TV contracts are at peril that will force the league's hand to make the team change the name. Until and unless that happens, nothing to see here.

Re: Breaking News on team name
LOL, well now you are just plain adorable, giantone. And contradicting your earlier positions. But OK for fun let's take you at your word... glad you have seen the light!

Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he is adamant he doesn't have to bow to pressure to change his team's nickname because it's not disparaging to Native Americans but instead a term of honor and respect. So I am glad we can agree on this, giantone! Quote:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...9a2_story.html And again giantone, poll after poll has proven most Americans and most NAs don't support changing the name "redskins". Americans (including NAs) NAs More All this, despite a long and vocal whine from the PC crowd of the easily offended which has been noted is mainly other ethnicities than NAs, is actually pretty remarkable this day and age.

And by the way, you owe me an apology for lying about what I have said in this debate. And you did it in the same paragraph you claimed you were "throwing back" at me an "honest debate". Apologize. |

Re: Breaking News on team name
I apologize that you can't seem to understand an honest debate. I have said what I have said about this and I have been consistent .We agree to disagree on your perception of my opinion .
Enjoy your teams great victory and enjoy the fact that your team is the NFC East Champs and your trip into the post season.

Another lie about what I am saying. (See above) SMH Quote:
Not sure a better term for you is either "trolling" or with the way you posted links earlier "debating in bad faith", or "debating by proxy". Whatever decription is best Giantone, your "apology" is kinda like if Odell Beckham tried acting like a good sport after the panthers game. Pretty transparent. That's all, unless you want to re-hash the same refuted stuff. This is gonna seem so fake, but it's not: Happy Holidays, giantone. |

Re: Breaking News on team name
I'm in Arizona now so i get to run into some Natives every now and then, also live by some reservations. You still see a lot of them going to Redskin games wearing their Redskin jerseys. Just had an old friend of the family visit thats works on a Hopi reservation near Flagstaff. She sees a lot of Redskin gear over there.
I remember the local news talking about protests at the game, but i didnt see any last year. I was tailgating most of day so i figured to see something. |
