Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court

I think the word Redskin may offend a few Indians but as a total population how many are sitting around hoping that they have to change the name and logo. I think of the word Redskin as a fearce warrior that will never surrender.
I'm African American, Irish, and Indian and in California the Indians have their on land ( Reservation)that we can't even go into. They have casino's and their on land what do they really have to compalin about. They can choose to live on a reservation or any other place in America. How much money do they get in government aid. Good luck with this law suit it will be red tape for many years in the court system. Some African Americans think we should be reimbursts for reperations from Slavery. At least they got their on land so be happy and move on. HTTR.

Again all these points are moot because that is not how the team's name ever was meant. And today again it represents the name Redskin in a good way like all other sports teams try to represent their towns and logos.

So after they get rid of Redskins, do they get rid of the name cowboys because some cowboys in the past committed atrocities against Native Americans. Then it never stops. If this is how you really feel then i respect your opinion but you sound like your just taking the devil's advocate approach.
