It has actually gone on for awhile but times were different and politicians, large companies that threatened to pull advertising and more importantly the minority partners said they wanted out if the name wasn't changed.

I am fine with Sty or others don't like the name. They are not in the majority though. Josh gave credit to our old logo but creating the spot in the stadium honoring Blackie Whetzel's Redskin logo. I am okay with calling them Warriors or Braves or something that refers to IPs. I can really only speak for me, I was never trying to put down the Indian nations, I thought it was a source of pride.
I can live with any name other than the current travesty.

No one and I mean no one names a team after something they hate .

The idea that the US is the home of racism and no other country in the history of humanity never engaged in it is stupid and ludicrous

The idea that no other nation on the face of this earth never engaged in conquering less stronger nations other then the US is also stupid and ludicrous.

To expect me to feel guilty about things I had nothing to do with is stupid and ludicrous and I will fight against it .

Now either you want a melting pot or you do not .

Now is you want to be a hyphenated American be my guest but understand you are no better or no worse then anyone else and you will be treated by me with dignity and respect until you lose it

This is so silly! The United States and its citizens don't own a right to call themselves "Americans!," as if it belonged to them. Doing so is the height of hubris when there are other parties to North America, a Central and South America! By your definition, aren't they all "Americans?"

You like everyone else here are a "United Statesian!"
While considered non-standard, the word United-Statesian does have a history of use. Check out this description found in The Rob Roy on the Baltic written by John MacGregor in 1867.

It really hasn't caught on yet but the global economy is rapidly erasing physical borders. Give it time!

Actually the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA do own the right to call themselves Americans. It is a country.

Reread my post, and you'll find that you've responded to something unexpressed in my post! I understand why and why we're now far from the original subject. Please make your next response a good one, the last word(s) on this are yours! Good conversation though!

Native Americans are also immigrants.
Yeah, they had a 9,500 year head start on the European immigrants:

Native Americans are the Indigenous peoples of the land that is now the United States and Alaska. They are also known as American Indians, First Americans, or Indigenous Americans.



Here are some facts about Native Americans:


  • Origins
    Native Americans are descendants of nomadic hunters from northeast Asia who migrated to North America across the Bering Strait land bridge. They were present in much of North, Central, and South America by around 10,000 BCE.

And wiped out the humanoids here before them.

I think there is a real shot we are getting the old uniforms back. Might even get the old logo back.
