Yes, it is the Native Americans that are demanding change. Look it up.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Problem is, its prolly not even the Indians demanding change. At what point is some entity going to step up and say "fuck your butt-hurt cunt, we're not cowering down to political correctness". Nobody has a dick. I'm serious. I worry that a lot of kids named Johnny sit down to pee, and have for the last quarter century. The same people voting for gay marriage.
My kid is going to be a bully. Im going to condone him slapping some sense into his vagina-toating male classmates. And Ill slap Johnetta's male parents accross their lips at 'cake-walk" night. I'm embarrassed to be an American.
And the rest of your post is just more stupid shit like you always crap on this board, but I enjoyed finding this photo of you and your wife.

The Cleveland Indians have a much more offensive mascot/logo, but Redskins is an offensive name. It was interesting to see all the Illinois fans in Chicago clinging to their Chief Illiniwek thing. I thought their continuing use of the "indian dance" (or whatever the fuck you want to call it) was probably the most offensive use of native american history/tradition I've seen yet. It was pure b.s. and was/is clearly a mockery by any modern standard.
Of course, many like to ignore the fact that there are schools like FSU and UND that have figured out how to have a harmonious relationship with local tribes and represent them positively.
It seems to me that the reasonable view is to look at the context, but that's always too difficult for most... -

It is not "the" Native Americans as if you are lumping them in one group that moves in lockstep. That's pretty offensive. "The" native Americans have a wide range of opinions on the matter. Also, it's ok to call them Indians or American Indians.Passion said:

I don't care either way, but I do wonder if "the" Irish wanted to change the Notre Damn mascot, what the reaction would be. -
Honoring the Sioux or Seminoles is one thing, Redskins is another. Some of you need to learn the difference. The Redskins were the last team to integrate as well - in the 60's!
