You know what they say about opinions

I do.

And opinions can be wrong.

You are wrong here.

It was a negative name. Needed to go. And you aren’t even a fan of the team, so not sure why you care enough to perpetuate the old name.

Easy, it’s not a huge deal. The name wasn’t hurting anyone, it really wasn’t. I don’t have to agree with everything, neither do you. I don’t think the world will end if I continue to consider them the Redskins.

Yeah, I can see where the name could be considered offensive.

But everything I heard was a bunch of white people (many of whom likely don't even follow football) telling Native Americans what they should be offended by. I honestly don't recall hearing much from Native Americans. But the little I did hear, seemed indicate that for the most part, they weren't bothered by it or felt they had more important issues to be concerned with.

End of the day, imo, what the team calls themselves is between them and their fans.

Having said that...Commanders is a dumb name. Should have stayed Redskins or stuck with Washington Football Team.

Bwahaha! Redskin is a slur for a native American. It's tantamount to naming them the Washington Daygos, the Washington Micks, the Washington Pollacks, the Washington Naggers (you know what I mean). Redskin has always been a disparaging term. How do you get to say it wasn't hurting anybody? You have nothing to do with it.

Eh it wasn’t a big deal at all, it was never meant as a slur in any way.

Sweet! So you're going to embrace me calling you Pasty Honky from now because I don't intend it as a slur. That's all I have to do. Remember when you lost your shit because I called Jokic the Great White Vorp? I do.

You are the one doing the name calling so expect to be treated accordingly.

I certainly got the point, but you know that.
Redskins is name calling on a grander level. We don’t need to belabor it. I’ve already driven home the point. When it’s directed at you or your race, you don’t like the name calling. Everybody else? “I don’t see the big deal.”

Well you see I have an Aunt that is full blood Sac and Fox Indian. She and all my cousins say it’s ridiculous. I think I’ll go by the people I know.

Boom! "I have my black friend!" now comes in Native American variety. I'll let you have the last word. We all know that if thread bans are getting passed out which guy is getting that ban.

It’s ok if people think I’m wrong, I can live with that. Doesn’t even hurt my feelings. Somehow I manage to go on.

The N word was acceptably used in white American culture for a long time.

Most of the people who used it didn’t intend it as a slur. They just honestly believed themselves to be superior and they were too ignorant to know better.

I guess that was okay too?

You call the Washington football team what you want and I will do the same.
