It's odd Obama just didn't take over the team and call them anything he wanted.

I'd definitely expect that there to be a lawsuit coming out of this ... the value of intangible assets like a trademark are quite valuable ... at least that's what a TCU MBA tells me.

"Words become offensive when we choose to be offended by them. When should we be offended? That's a tough question. "The answer, of course, lies in the context," the late Hugh Rawson wrote in his lovely lexicon, "Wicked Words." "The meanings of words change according to who says them, to whom, and in what circumstances." Rawson chronicled many words that were uncontroversial in Chaucer and Shakespeare but are considered repellent today.
Ultimately, of course, this isn't a fight about words but about cultural politics and the imperative to scrub society of all offensive language (or, often, merely language that offends liberals). That fight will never end, and not just because some people always need to be offended by something. It will never end because words themselves will never cooperate."

Let's just call them the Washington Firewaters and be done with it.

And so nobody accuses me of being racist, I like Indians. Like this one:
But only her. None of the ugly drunk ones. I don't like them. -

" In the only recent poll to ask native people about the subject, 90 percent of respondents did not consider the term offensive, although many question the cultural credentials of the respondents."
Lolololol wait a minute you aren't outraged?!?!?! Hmmmm I wonder if you are RELLLY Indian.
Gotta love the media. -

She can wear facepaint. Fuck it. I like her redskin sister too (and so does APAG):monroecougdad said:

She looks more Native American than she does Indian.

They all work at casinos...their jobs are safe.

I'm hearing they'll be known as the Washington WICcards.sarktastic said:It's odd Obama just didn't take over the team and call them anything he wanted.

Government is out of control and needs to be removed. I'm sure if it was a logo of two gays buttfucking with an equality sign instead of a Redskin they would have everyone including the ACLU scrambling to protect it.

Are these okay to eat? Or is that offensive? -
What a bunch of shit. Nobody gave a fuck about the name for years. It's the way of the world. Fuck off natives. None of my native friends give two shits about this. Nobody's life is any worse because the team is called the Redskins.
And before anyone says it's offensive, I wish there was a team called the crackers, honkeys, or Whiteys. They'd be my new favorite team. Now please continue posting Pocahontas bitches with the big butts. -

And now..... YOUR Washington Savages
Much less offensive. -
What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curse
Their skin's a hellish red
They're only good when dead
They're vermin, as I said
And worse
They're savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages!
Drive them from our shore!
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war!
They're savages! Savages!
Dirty redskin devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!

I am for bigotry but against racism.

90% of Native Americans say TDGAF about the name.

Why did nobody give a shit until a few years ago? Even when the lawsuit was filed in 2006, it didn't catch on until pretty recently. The team has been called the Washington Redskins since 1937. There has been plenty of time to drum up some faux outrage. It's a little late now.TierbsHsotBoobs said:But how is the term Redskins offensive?

The only ones that give a fuck are people who aren't Native Americans telling others they should give a fuck.doogsinparadise said:

HTH. -
It was fine in 1987, 1997, and there was hardly a peep in 2007. Now, ESPN and others are blowing it up making puppets out of everyone. Most the world does whatever the media tells them to do. Same thing happened with Sterling.doogsinparadise said:
