Well that's stupid. Google it. There are many many Native Americans who have been very vocal about it.

You may be saying you don't KNOW personally anyone who is offended by it, but that's another thing entirely.

Reminds me of what Pauline Kael said after the 1968 election: "How did Nixon win? Nobody I know voted for him..."

Oh I have no doubt people are saying that, does not mean they are offended though. I’m highly offended by a bunch of shit going on but I’m not going to blame it on anyone or expect them to do anything about it.

Not surprising dtgold would turn it into a vocabulary argument LOL

I mean, calling something racist when it might not be is not the way to go IMO, especially with real issues that could be deemed racism.

Just Google it, many people are very clear about being offended. Unless you don't like reading things that counter your world view

everything on the internet is true! And no one ever does anything just to stir people up. What a world we live in!

And you moved the goal posts. You were quite sure no one was offended by it, then when I pointed out the obvious you switched to "oh I get offended by stuff but I don't say anything" even though you get offended by shit nonstop here.

You're being an ass with the response here too. I guess since a few things on the net are untrue, you can't get any information at all from it.

Good talk, Russ

Want to say they can choose to be offended (or not)? There was no intent to offend? I can buy that. But not really a doubt some (even many) are offended.

i didn’t move shit, I never had any doubt people say they are offended. Does not make it true any more than calling someone racist makes them one.

Have to say I agree there is probably some fake outrage on this issue by some if that is what you mean.

bingo, all I’m saying. Give malcontents the time of day and they will take a mile. We all don’t get what we want, life is not fair, believe it or not to anyone. Let’s call them the Washington Do Gooders and give them all trophies!!!!

 

[Black Adam]

Did not know that.

Story?

Short version, the name was picked in honor of a nickname that one of the local politicians. Believe he was instrumental in getting the Chiefs to come to Kansas City in the first place...

Should black people not be offended by some of the things they are called?

 

[thunderc]

sure why not

 

[msgkings322]

Um. Ok then.

that is not the subject at hand. I am talking sports in the sports forum and I think renaming age old teams is bullshit. Please record my vote.

Where is the NBA off court thread?
