    Oregonian hasn't called them Redskins for years.



    At the end of the day its another point towards the Pussification Cup.
    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!!!
    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?
    If you behave better, he'll give you $50 and a couple of beers.
    All he wants is some friends and to talk X's and O's. Seems simple enough.

    Worth a read

    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.

    I like to pretend I'm outraged about the Redskins changing their name.

    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.

    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.
