Your "YouTube" video does not count as research. Anyone can put whatever they want on there and try to call it factual. There is no substance to that video what so ever. Try again...

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.

Like I said in an earlier post what was ok back in the 30's,40's or 50's isn't ok now.Wether like it or not the team name depicts native American skin color and no other name does that.Like it or not it makes for interesting discussion.So I guess my question to you is....pick a slur and ethnic slur and use it in a good way and tell me what happens?
