Name Change

[skinsdad62]

a new name going around is

Washington Redwolves

i have seen that on twitter . if you go wolf themed then go wolf pack and dont force "red"

This could be a HUGE big deal. The three minority owners are reported to own 40% of the team. One of those three is Mr. Fed Ex. How does that affect the team going forward.

Here is another question. I am former military the so I have no objection to name change being in part related to the military. It doesn't make sense though when it comes to Washington. My question is how do you feel about RR having input into a name when he has less than a year invested in the Redskins?

Honestly? I trust his opinion more that I do Dan Snyder's, who has been associated with the team for 20 years.

So manifest destiny has never been used in a legal setting. This brings me back to my original question of who lands go to. Native Americans were not a nation. They were individual tribes. So why was it bad for the US to take the Black Hills from the Lakota, when the Lakota took the Black Hills from other tribes, and those tribe’s had taken the land from tribes, and those tribes took it from the previous tribe...etc. So which tribe gets a claim on the Black Hills and why them?

I don't see how you can rationalize that Manifest Destiny wasn't used in a legal setting. Unless you're saying it was applied illegally which I wouldn't disagree with.

The Removal Act of 1830 giving the President the power to persuade, bribe, and threaten NAs off their land sounds pretty legal to me though. And if that didn't work military force was authorized to forcibly make it happen.

And I already answered that. Whichever treaties/promises that the US broke with whatever tribe that they broke it with. If the Crow took the land from the Apache and the US took it from the Crow. Than made a treaty with the Crow that the US would eventually break. Than its the Crow that the US needs to make amends to now.

It's almost as if you're purposely trying to muddy the waters on this subject.

Yes...the winds change frequently when it comes to cultural description of black people. Most of which are not referencing a cultural relation to Africa but a racial one.

So what's your point? The US has dealt with black people from a racial perspective since the first slave ship arrived from Africa to this very day with the 18 to 1 ratio, that not too long ago was 100 to 1, for punishment as it concerns crack/powder cocaine possession. I can't say I remember n*g*o used a whole lot except on paperwork and such. I do remember colored which as just about the stupidest shit ever as if white people didn't have a color. I grew up black, and as far as culture goes. I'm a southland Cali boy. Perhaps that's why I don't have a problem with anyone putting a qualifier, Italian, African, Jewish etc along with American when describing one's self.

As for language, barrier to what. And how does this make Indians any less American?

My comments about language wasn't made specifically about America or NAs. It was made from a worldwide perspective as the biggest barrier that separates us from one another.

Looks like Walmart and Target I believe have joined NIKE in removing any and all Redskins related merchandise from their stores.

Add amazon to that list

 

[Rowdy]

Nike must be trying to divert attention away from the sweatshop story that has came out on them

 

[Breed]

Add amazon to that list

Yeah, not Target. It was Amazon.

 

[Rowdy]

Yeah, not Target. It was Amazon.

Target is one too. I’m pretty sure

Target was the first one I saw and I emphasize the work I.

ESPN's John Keim reports the Washington football franchise is expected to keep its team colors of burgundy and gold after changing its nickname.
Keim's colleague Adam Schefter has reported the team will discontinue its use of Native American imagery. So far, there have not been any rumors as to what owner Daniel Snyder might be considering for a new name. It is going to be hard to pull this off before Week 1.

not necessarily if they go with Warriors they can keep the Spear logo because Native Americans are not the only ones to go into battle or hunt with spears

If you actually watch on YouTube their are a lot of interesting comments

 

[skinsdad62]

Happy Birthday Redskins!

better write the obituary instead of wishing them a happy birthday . . it will be sad to see all the old time guys and some of them from our time be purged from history

so far they are moving away from it and with the cancel culture i doubt they will get onboard with it

and the NFL, corporate america and snyder dont have the courage to stand against it
