Skins getting heat again over name issue

[MTK]

It’s not going to be anything Native American related. The Indians, Braves, Chiefs and Blackhawks are all next on the chopping block.

But Matty none of those names are remotely derogatory. Anyway im outta this conversation because somehow it has become about the deep states secret agenda.

Redskins isn’t derogatory...if it was, been generations ago.

From what I’m told, words and symbols change...redskins means only the professional football team in Washington DC...nothing derogatory at all.

Anyone see any irony in this at all?

My major issue with this and the same with Redtails or any other name that involves a minority group. There will come a time in the future when the general perception of society will change. Will the name be considered a caricature, an appropriation or embracing a stereotype? Dan needs to think about the endgame here. Does he want to be rebranding 30 years from now because the tribal leader or societal position has changed?

If that Tribe is getting Royalties/Cash Flow from their partnership..I don't see them reversing their decision in the future. That is easy money IF they as a tribe don't see Redskins as a slight (which many native American sports teams are named Redskins)

The NFL may not survive 2020 the way it's going. My interest is pretty much gone.

I personally think COVID-19 and the ensuing fallout could have dealt a deadly blow to the NFL. I think the NFL going out of business is now a possibility. The revenue lost from missing this season has to be huge. And if the pandemic draws on, as is expected, they could lose next season too. Hard to imagine the league staying afloat with no way to play games or generate much revenue.

Yeah, the NFL also strikes me as a league short on cash. Some say the XFL was doing even better than the NFL was.

Do they have enough cash to be sidelined for multiple seasons while the virus calms down? Nobody has that kind of cash and you know it.

LOL. Those are the same people that say their dogs are the ones who told them to kill those people.
