It was not big deal and she just kind of slightly metioned it, but I'm sure that one day soon its going to come up again.

So.. I am trying to get ready now cause I am sure that at somepoint (probally in the middle of a game) this topic of discussion will come up. How do you guys and gals defend against this kind of comment. I have not really given it much thought myself. I don't find it offensive but then again I'm not native americian.

Help out!

id just try to avoid the topic of the racist issue or whatever. when shes like "man redskins are offensive to native americans!" just make a comment about the game, or change the subject to like "i really like those new jeans on you" after a second or 2 delay or something. if she pushes it or if this is a constant problem shes gotta go
