Has he ever spoken out on such an issue?

Not that I know of. And in fact Dan and Vinny could prove more offensive than any name or logo. But he is a member of Cherokee Nation; I believe it's his great/grandparents who are full-blooded. Just something to think about...

That's a crazy thought...

Many polls have been taken on the made-up racial issue about sports teams and Native American names. The NAs overwhelmingly are either honored or do not care either way. Very few are actually "offended" by the names and logos. It's an issue that has mainly been made up by white lawyers and PC-policemen who want to make a name for themselves by forcing their opinions on others through litigation.

If Bradford was so easy to be offended, he wouldn't be playing for the Sooners...besides, those white men in wagons came riding in and forcing the Indians off their land!

It's not a crazy thought. We all toss around our opinions on the subject, but for the most part, it doesn't personally affect us in the sense that we're a bunch of white, black, brown, green fans attached to the name. Along comes a dude who might think otherwise because the name/logo speaks to his tribe. Or not.

I do agree, however, that the majority of NAs could care less. Count me among them.

Me too...some Cherokee, not much but still some.

Last skins game i went to in Arizona i saw more Native Americans sporting redskin jerseys than anyone else. Don't believe the hype.

You seem to present this as if it's more than likely true.

If he has a problem maybe they could have him talk to a descendant of Lone Star Dietz if they can find one. Has anybody from the media attempted this? That would probably be one of my first attempts at an interview if I was covering one of the stories on the Redskins names.

Don't know how easy that would be considering there's been controversy about his actual heritage.

This is not possible because Lone Star Dietz had no children. He was like a father to some of his players, but that is entirely different.

Your website has some great material. I'm sure you've read Carlisle vs. Army which I recommend to anyone to read

He could have a collateral descendant, so it's not impossible. Thanks for dropping by though, I'll check out the book if I see it locally.

No need to throw a nobody in there at QB. We know who Todd Collins is. I don't see any reason to make a move with JC right now. Makes no sense really.

I agree the only way you bench JC is if he is not able to play due to injury
