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.

Basically it's like pissing in the wind

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

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 ..

I would say the difference is that Indian and Eskimo where names given to describe people and not the names the people use themselves. These were the names given by European colonizers at the time to describe them. (Blame FrenchSkins people for the term Eskimo)

I'd say the Eskimo refers to the ice cream being cold. When have you ever heard anyone claim to be offended by an Eskimo Pit ice cream sandwich? Or pancake mix? Or a band name (Lady Antebellum)? Or Uncle Ben's rice? Gone with the Wind? College kids doing alligator arms at a Gators football game? The Texas Rangers baseball team, named after law enforcement? Hell, there's a real petition circulating in Ohio to rename the town of Columbus "Flavortown". In California, they passed a law saying that the word "manhole" is illegal, they're now to be called "maintenance holes". I'm waiting for Blacksmiths and Blacktoppers to be banned.

It's like The Onion's craziest stories are reality now.



These things are not being attacked because they were designed to be racist or even because people are legitimately offended, there's just a power trip right now by a segment of the population intent on "fundamentally transforming America", or in other words...destroying its history.


Did you hear about UVA's "racist" sword logo? Now wavy lines are racist!

Actuall the Term Redskin was a term the indians use.


1769: The first unchallenged use of the word “redskin” occurs when a British lieutenant colonel translates a letter from an Indian chief promising safe passage if the officer visited his tribe in the Upper Mississippi Valley.

“I shall be pleased to have you come to speak to me yourself if you pity our women and our children; and, if any redskins do you harm, I shall be able to look out for you even at the peril of my life,” Chief Mosquito said in his letter, according to a 2005 study by Ives Goddard, the Smithsonian’s senior linguist emeritus.

Indeed true. As this issue has metastasized over the years, nobody bothered to note that Indians do not have red colored skin.

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.
