Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
Even if they ever lose they don't have to change the name. They can still be called the Redskins. Redskins are potato's too aren't they? It would be kind of stupid or corny to be named after a potato but could still be called the Redskins.

Even that would get some leftist folks pissed. I graduated from Eastern Mich University back in 1993 as an Eagle, but from 1988-1989 I was a Huron. Back in 1988, a Chippewa woman filed a lawsuit against EMU for the name and logo being offensive. Instead of fighting it the EMU Pres and BOD caved in like a bunch of wimps. The whole irony of the story is that the Central Mich Univ mascot is the Chippewa and after they dropped the arrow from their team logo the Chippewas were happy to have them keep their name. After the EMU BOD dropped the name the two chiefs of the only 2 remaining Huron descendent tribes came to plead the BOD to reverse the decision. Much to there chagrin, they were ignored and treated horribly by the EMU BOD. The only thing that saves the Redskins name and logo is the immense amount of $$$$$$$ the team generates for the local economy. $$$$$$$$$ beats out PC just about every time. |

Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
I suppose to sue the following teams due to the stated reasons:
1 - Buffalo Bills: Named after a famous animal slaughter 2 - Cincinnati Bengals: Tigers eat people. Baaad! 3 - Cleveland Browns: Brown = the political party colour of the right wing in Germany 4 - Piitsburgh Stellers: Steel is needed for weapons production 5 - Jacksonville Jaguars: see 2 6 - Oakland Raiders: Raiders kill people. Baaad! 7 - San Diego Chargers: Lightning Bolts kill people. Baaad! 8 - Dallas Cowboys: Cowboys killed Redskins! 9 - Philadelphia Eagles: I donīt like em. That should be reason enough. 10 - Washington Redskins: known reasons 11 - Chicago Bears: see 2 12 - Detroit Lions: see 2 13 - Minnesota Vikings: Vikings killed poeple. Baaad! 14 - Carolina Panthers: see 2 15 - New Orleans Saints: many people were killed in the name of God and Saints. Baaad! 16 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers: see 6 Well... sueing half the NFL should be lotsa fun, donīt ya think? |

Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
First off, I am a die hard Skins fan. Because I am not Native American, I can not comment as to whether or not the name "Redskins" is offensive. However I can see how the term "red skins", if seen similar to it's usage on old westerns, could be viewed as derogatory. I also can understand Snyder unwillingness to change his branding as a business decision. If I was forced to make a decision, I would probably rule against ALL sports/business franchises' being able to use racial/ethnic caricatures or symbols. I liken it to having teams named the "San Francisco Spooks" or the "Pittsburgh Pale Faces". I think these names would never be tolerated. Who are we to judge another nationality on how they feel towards their likeness or culture being used?

Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
Finally, some real news. Not the most exciting news, but still. Here's a link for those interested:
Redskins Insider - Appeals Court Upholds Ruling for Skins I do find it ironic that this decision is being made by the US government, who probably wronged Native Americans more than anyone else.

Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
The Buccaneers are pirates.
There are still actual pirates roaming around the coast of Somolia inflicting terrible damage and destruction. Families lives have been altered tramatically by these pirates and they should not be revered. I am offended by this name and encourage everyone to take it up with your local state and federal officials. I am also the same dumbass who wants to change the Redskins name. (Sorry a bit of role play there. I know for a fact that I am bias I just think that name changing has no relevence to people)

Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
Hope the skins can keep winning these appeals. Theres nothing wrong with any of the teams names, especially the redskins. Just like the buccaneers, its just a name of a team and nothing more. Yes there are pirates for real into days world, but the name is not making these men who call themselves pirates, do the crimes they are committing. Its the people themselves. Just like the gun issues, guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Long live the name WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!! |
