Exactly. Gun control = take their guns away. Mail in ballots = voter fraud. Wear masks = civil liberties being stripped. Police reform = do away with cops and go full lawless society. Meanwhile the biggest lying fraud in the world is cool in their book. I am a white male from the suburbs- I have no idea what it is like to be stereotyped or discriminated against but I have a soul. Take down every fuckin racist rooted monument and change the fuckin names. If it bothers you than you have bigger issues you need to deal with and probably need a hug too.

Now...shut up and follow orders...everywhere.

Sound like an unhinged clown. Meanwhile NYT post an editorial taking down Jefferson statues....this is exactly the slippery slopes that don’t exist, right? Wash post editorial today wanting to burn books? Applying social norms of today to the past is as laughable as it is dishonest.


Lol I see you got your 1 vote in...

As expected you are moving the discussion of your dishonesty. And if you just had facts and data..

You are the minority about the name. Nothing supports it as offensive or racist...no polls, interviews, data, etc. I’ve been told words and symbols change over time...redskins if it was offensive hasn’t been in generations. When you hear Redskins” it’s ONLY meaning is player /team for the professional Sports team in DC.

If we change to the Redhawks or Redtails you can just update the banner to say FlightPath.

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue

The latest is Eskimo pie ice cream is being renamed .. so is now the word Eskimo bad? .. is it okay to say Chinese food ? Italian sausage ? Is the word southern bad ? Is it bad to say yankee ?? I say the Yankees is a slur .. should the dictionary be re written ? It’s not okay to call your Boss boss .. The word Indian is bad so how about a Indian restaurant? What the hell has happened to this world .. it’s like a George Carlin comedy show ! Facebook is a damn joke , on most forums people show no respect .. people type out STFU but would never step up and say it to your face .. most of the discussion here end up being pissing contest .. What has happened to common decency? This world is in real trouble .. the Redskin name is the least of anybody’s problem ..

Because those Native Americans with signs that say we are not mascots don’t have a say? Come on man. Do I think it is tantamount to a swastika? No. It has falsely endeared itself into the minds of football fans. Though at one time it was. Do I think anyone of us hates native Americans? No. But if there are Native Americans who are offended by it than change it. Someone’s feelings are more important than the nickname of a football team I root for. If that makes me a snowflake liberal dick face im cool with it.
