NY tribe to challenge Redskins

[apratt21]

Stand by your position all you want, it isn't me that is out there challenging the name. I'm simply putting it into context and saying that apratt's "we aren't calling them the name, just the team" was a dumbass comment.

It was said in jest Should be a toyotaman instead. Chill out.

Nope...that won't work. In the 70's SU was known as the Saltine Warriors and their mascot was an Indian similar to what the Redskins have now.

Article excerpt:

In a letter opposite the editorial, Onkwehonwenha, the Native American organization on campus, argued that the issue is a larger one. It calls attention. according to the statement, "to the total absence of services for native students at SU."

The group described the Warrior, who appeared in the form of a white fraternity member at football and basketball games since 1951, as a "painted, feathered, warcrazed, half-naked fool."

Demise of the Saltine Warrior

The people in our country will sue and win with the most stupid of points.

Perfect example, there's always some idiot with an agenda.

I'm Hispanic and the name Browns offends me, wonders how naming the Cleveland Blacks would go?

this is a shake down from the tribe in my opinion

however be careful cowboy fans because your team named aided in the oppression of indians

the indians used eagle feathers so out with the eagles

and the giants is insulting to people with pituitary gland problems

Every name out there could be offensive to someone. It'll never stop due to liberal groups pushing agendas on a daily basis. I'm shocked the male gay community hasn't come down on the Packers yet.
