Yea you know me I aint down with disrespecting people, but from what I gather the term "redskin" is not as bad as I thought it might have been. True that...and thier team is not as bad as I though they would be either. Congrats on the Seahawk win. Im still in shock that you guys pulled that off!!! Well get ready to be shocked again this weekend! Enjoy your bye ;D

Thanks for posting that, Pres.
What alot of people seem to overlook about the name "Redskins" is that the first owner of our great football team George Preston Marshall was half "native American" and our first coach Ray Flaherty was "mostly native American" and they are the ones who named the team.
Why would they name THEIR team after something that would be offensive to THEM.
My grandmother (who is 92) is half Cherokee and has been a big fan of our team and she has not once ever said to me that it was offensive to her.
When people today hear the word "Redskin" they think of our great football team in Washington DC, not something you would call a person to offend them.
