Re: Judge Sides With Redskins in Team Name Suit
Are you saying that suburban kids who listen to rap are ignorant & stupid? Or that their behavior is "rude & demeaning?" Whatever you're saying, I'm sure the rap artists and record labels sure appreciate the behavior....all the way to the bank.[/quote]
That is exactly what my point was. If an American Indian had any ownership of any of the sales and they were benefiting from the mascots, I think there would be no problem at all. That was my attempt at comparing the two.

Following the death of JKC, the skins were put up for sale. If it were such a big deal, how come there were no casino owning tribes that stepped up to bid? They could've changed the name themselves.

Casino owners are some of the richest people in the world. Donald Trump? Steve Wynn? Terry Benedict? OK, so that last one was for the Ocean 11 fans out there. It's a silly point though, to say that "if Native Americans didn't like it, why don't they buy the team and change the name themselves." So I'm definitely not going to argue in favor of that logic. But I was just struck by the casino owners thing. Perhaps you were being sarcastic and I'm just out to lunch.
