It's an interesting discussion in my opinion.
how many people need to be offended by something for you to think that thing needs to stop? Does it need to be a majority?

Offensive topics are always interesting.

I agree, so I am having a discussion with you about it.

When does it matter that something is offensive?

Obviously, it it offends 1 person, it doesn't matter to you. That person needs to toughen up. right?

Either that or find a safe space.

so if a Jewish dude is at a party you are at and you are telling a story and you keep throwing around "kike" like it's nothing, he has no right to be offended and you aren't going to stop?

That has nothing to do with a Native American sports logo... Is your attention span that short?

I just want to see the Redskins change their name to piss off their fans. I looooooove seeing them suffer.

Have fun with that. Personally - I won't lose sleep if they change the name (which likely won't happen for a very, very long time). Again - I have already been through this with the Bullets/Wizards. My concerns are with the performance of the team - not all of the peripheral crap. That has been subpar for a while - I don't even consider it suffering now - just par for the course - we will see if it changes anytime soon.

we are discussing offending people. I am trying to get a reading on how many people need to be offended before you think it is too much.

In today's society too many folks are offended over miniscule things.

so how can you gauge what is actually offensive and what is not?

why is it ok to offend 1 in 10 Native Americans? Does that 1 person not matter?

oh I am aware it likely won't happen. But it is fun getting my Redskins fan friends all fired up about it.

I really don't give a darn to be honest with you.

so you don't care if anyone is ever offended as long as you can keep doing things the way you want to do them?
