Apparently, they're just going to call them Washington now. Thank goodness there's no other football team that the times covers called Washington, right?

What a bunch of dumbfucks

    copy/paste from other Redskins thread:

    http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/10/08/how-many-native-americans-think-redskins-is-a-slur/

    " 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."

    I heard a clip from an interview with the ST Sports Editor this morning. He started saying, "The R Word..." He needs to drown in a tsunami.

    I just skimmed the article, but it seems like they didn't get the results they wanted so they decided that the cultural credentials weren't legit.

    That's exactly what it is. "What you aren't OUTRAGED?!?!? Hmmm are you REALLY Native American then??"

    I'm as anti-pussification as anyone but I still don't understand why Washington Redskins is cool but Washington Niggers is not.
    So you are saying NA should be OUTRAGED!!!

    If they can do this to the Redskins, they can do it to anyone they disagree with, to anything they deem politically incorrect. Hope that fucking helps.

    No. I'm saying the NFL and Daniel Snyder should have the basic human decency to change the name.

    It shouldn't take AN OUTRAGE to make it happen.
    Little Jimmy is right time to run Boobs. He NEVER contributes to a thread ever.

    Can we get back to talking some X's and O's?

    I'm quite sure the ACLU, and every other cock gobbling liberal faggot organization and individual, attaches way more significance to the 10% of offended Native Americans (aka "Indians") than the deluded 90% who are obviously too stupid to know they should be offended...

    All he wants is some friends and to talk X's and O's. Seems simple enough.

    Worth a read
    http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/18/12-trademarks-declared-less-offensive-than-redskins/
    You Can’t Make A Housewife Out Of A Whore: This trademark for T-shirts and hats appears to imply that women involved in prostitution can never transition into the domestic role of a housewife. Such an accusation would certainly “bring them into contempt or disrepute,” the stated reasoning for eliminating the Redskins trademark.

    It's not a matter of mere political correctness. It's a matter of the origin of the word "redskin" is actually far worse than that of "nigger" - but feel free to be an ignorant dick.

    I am impressed that I never noticed that we have a poster here named Blackie in 52 previous posts.

    I suppose it is possible (likely) all those posts are on the NBA bored though.

    So then would it be okay for a team to call themselves the Small Dicked White Fuckers, if they polled all of you and the majority said they weren't offended?

    Says the guy who calls himself "Blackie." What are you going to do when Harry Reid comes for you because he doesn't like your screen name? It's a gross overreach of government power dumbfuck, and it sets a onerous precedent. They can shut anyone down they don't agree with or who they think is politically incorrect. Like others have said, the Indians don't give a fuck. It's only the squealing liberal gimps in Washington that do. And the only reason they're doing this is to detract attention from their tyranny and incompetence in other areas.

    To be clear, Chief, I don't want the government involved in dictating what one can or cannot name their business. I would prefer however for people not to be complete fucking assholes, but rather show some common decency when naming their business and not using terms that clearly celebrate/honor horrifying acts against a group of people.
