I didn't mean that we should take it that far. But perhaps we should recognize that they might have a right to be upset and touchy about some things which for anyone else would just be whining.

I think we should focus more on issues American Indians really still endure. I think we missing the point and Dan could be missing an opportunity to maybe turning this around into something positive. Skins could reach out with other teams with an indian mascot/name for a pow wow build an understanding and talk about some real issues. Then we could smoka the peace pipe (packed with medicinal).

I agree with this. Major problems faced by Native Americans include poverty and a lack of employment opportunities. Deep Pockets Danny could respond in a way which makes folks happy and grateful.

Id like to see an united effort with sports and American Indians, bring awareness, fund raising and real programs to help. Hell I bet you bring some Indians into fed ex for a game, those offended probably see a different side.

Indians don't have the same employment opportunities as everyone else?

Not really. On Western reservations some students have to travel 30 miles over dirt roads just to get to a school, residential areas are remote and have little access to the services we rely on in our society. On a per capita basis they have much more obstacles.

Not to get into a debate on this but that's a choice they have made. No one stopping them from buying a house in a neighborhood and going to the same schools as everyone else.

We will have to agree to disagree then. I don't see how a 13 year old is capable of moving to Pheonix from the middle of the mojave.

Pirates have it pretty bad too. They have to the pillage and plunder in order to survive. Packers had to work long hours shoving meat into little cans. 49ers risked life and limb for tiny specs of gold. Wait. Why does this matter again?
