Skins getting heat again over name issue

[Chico23231]

There is no consensus but multiple NAtive Americans polling with overwhelming strong majority that say the name isn’t offensive. I don’t care what white people think because they are so emotionally unhinged and unresponsive to hard data and facts...fuck them

How hard do you punch down on the keyboard when you type?

We agree on 3 things.

1. There is no consensus
2. It doesnt matter what non NA think
3. You paint with a very large brush


(I assume you are referring to the Wash Po survey. After looking into it .. it only required people to "self identify" as some part NA. When the census allowed people to pick more than 1 category for race, there was a large increase in people "self identifying" as NA ..... but these are waters we already travelled pages ago on here)

------------

edit -- I honestly think Snyder will not be changing the name this year. PR move to say its being considered, form some committees .. then hope it goes away in time.

Most polls I've seen are 90-95% of NA either support or are indifferent.

There have always been stray tribes and activists protesting the Redskins going back for decades but it's never been a number like the media leads people to believe.

I never used my own Native American heritage to get a handout or step up in schooling, jobs or politics...and I'm a LOT more than 1/1,024th Indian. I have the nose to prove it.

My Great Grandmother was full or near-full-blooded Cherokee Indian...and I'm a lifelong Redskins fan since early childhood. I've embraced the team's identity as honoring, not disparaging.

Referring to this ...it’s just getting very toxic ..I get on here because I love the team .. nobody knows anything about anybody else except we all love the team .. it just seems like certain guys can get on here and tell people to shut the fuck up .. and then say fuck white people.. I say WTF is up with all that nonsense ? Does anybody moderate at all and can you just say anything ? Maybe I’m to damn old to deal with this nonsense ..

Hard to read into blurbs on a chat sight too much. Can never really gauge someones level of sincerity. Anyway there are just bigger issues than football right now. Hopefully in the not too distant future my biggest worry will be what to drink when the game starts. Lol.

I have been a Redskins fan longer than most of you have been alive. I met Turk Edwards, saw Sammy Baugh, Joe Theisman, John Riggins, Sam Huff, the Fun Bunch, the Hogs and many, many more play (not on tv either). I even remember the Frank Budd disaster. It doesn't matter what the team name is, they will always be the Redskins to me. It is Washington football, support them. I will remain a fan regardless of the name. However, if they name the team the Washington Pansies, Pink Ladies or something similar, there is a imit.
