do you give a shit?
do you think "Redskin" is more offensive than something like "Seminole"?
i think it would be funny if all team names were based on slurs: philadelphia wops, new york chinks, etc.
personally, i'm not sure if "Redskin" offends Native Americans.........if it does, well, too bad cause the name's never going to change.

I am part native American and the name "Redskins" is NOT offensive to me or my 91 year old grandmother (who is half Cherokee) who is also a HUGE fan of the Redskins. My mother is also a HUGE fan, like most of my mothers side of the family, which is mostly native American.
It's the PC spewing left-wing white liberals in this country that is saying it is offensive.
The funny thing is that the original owner of the Redskins (George Preston Marshall) was part native American and the first head coach of the Skins was a full native american and they are the ones who came up with the name.
Why would anyone want to name their team something that would be offensive to THEM?!?!?

Wow, I would have a problem with that. You see it's like this. When a friend calls me a wop it's cool, I turn around and call them a mic, but when some else says it and I think they are using to offend me then I'll get mad. I hate Philly so if they were the wops I would go nuts. If the term "redskins" was really offensive then I would say change it to some like the "skins" I just don't think that is the case. |
