Change the name to the Braves. Calling them the "Redskins" is the equivalent of calling a team the "Negros",

Charles Krauthammer: Redskins and reason - The Washington Post

krauthammer says the meaning of the word "has changed " i say it hasnt . only people with an agenda claim it has

and saps like you fall in line lock step with that view point .

if the vast majority of the people it supposedly "offends " say it isnt , and name their own teams "the redskins " then that is all that needs to be noted

no one names their team after something they hate , NO ONE , and just because oberman can twist what was said in 1934 to his own end wont change that

he changed the name because boston had the braves in baseball . the name was suggested to him by a guy who portrayed himself as an native american (not known to marshall at the time ) and the name was given

our fight song say "hail to the redskins " not "curse the redskins " , not" humiliate the redskins "

should we ban the steelers name because carnegie used forced child labor and chained kids to the job positions ? oh wait , he did pay them pennies on the hour

i am catholic , should we ban the saints name ? its blasphemous

i tell you what when i see you posting name changes for those 2 teams come see us

sign a petition to get congress to force a change to Oklahoma and its racist connotation . names change through time dont they ? and while you are at it talk to them about Indiana and indianapolis

Wow, compelling argument, "it's not racist because I say so". Sorry, Krauthammer's argument destroys your "argument".

and saps like you fall in line lock step with that view point .

And saps like you have convinced themselves that naming a team after a race isn't racist.

if the vast majority of the people it supposedly "offends " say it isnt , and name their own teams "the redskins " then that is all that needs to be noted

Wrong, none of those polls were taken on reservations, they were taken by people who claimed to be Native American, just like the guy who fooled your owner into naming the team the most racist name in all of sports.

no one names their team after something they hate , NO ONE , and just because oberman can twist what was said in 1934 to his own end wont change that

It's not about hate, it's about disrespecting an entire race of people which we committed genocide against.

he changed the name because boston had the braves in baseball . the name was suggested to him by a guy who portrayed himself as an native american (not known to marshall at the time ) and the name was given

And the Braves moved, time to change the name back, or do you like being named after a lie?

our fight song say "hail to the redskins " not "curse the redskins " , not" humiliate the redskins "

Then why do your fans dress like transvestite pigs?

should we ban the steelers name because carnegie used forced child labor and chained kids to the job positions ? oh wait , he did pay them pennies on the hour

i am catholic , should we ban the saints name ? its blasphemous

Nope, neither name is racist or disparaging like "Redskings", it would be different if the teams were called the "Child Laborers" or "Child Rapists" but they're not. Redskins is blatantly racist. Change the name to the Braves.

i tell you what when i see you posting name changes for those 2 teams come see us

Those teams aren't up for debate, Redskins is.

sign a petition to get congress to force a change to Oklahoma and its racist connotation . names change through time dont they ? and while you are at it talk to them about Indiana and indianapolis

Once again, neither name is blatantly as racist as Redskins, the most racist name in all of sports.

 

[RoboticDreams]

If a predominantly black school named their team the "****ers,"and were proud of the name, your argument would be much more valid. There are a myriad of Native American schools that share the Redskin name and cherish it so. Who exactly decides what is offensive to those people?

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Hmm, why don't we call the team the Washington Republicans and make the logo a giant douche?

 

[TCB]

Change the name to the Braves. Calling them the "Redskins" is the equivalent of calling a team the "Negros",

Charles Krauthammer: Redskins and reason - The Washington Post

So continuing your example...
What would be the acceptable names for "black skinned team names"? The acceptable names you talk about for Native Americans are, Indians, Braves, Warriors.

This would obviously not be possible.

My opinion is, if they get rid of one, they need to get rid of all.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Hmm, why don't we call the team the Washington Republicans and make the logo a giant douche?

Ok , let's just calm down here. It ok to have different opinions.

just don't expect everyone here on this board to agree with you. Most won't. And understandably so.

This is the skins board, where most of us have discussed very aspect of this issue, ad nauseum.

Tread lightly is my advice.

The current owner didn't name the team moron. That was someone from long ago who was a bad guy & due to various circumstances. Is your sole goal in this thread to be annoying? If so - you have succeeded to a degree. However - your drivel just gets to be nothing but boring after a while. You certainly don't represent the Steelers fanbase very well. I am guessing you are what - 15? 16?

It never ceases to amaze me the number of morons who fly into this board, announce how moronic they are, and then fly out never to be heard from again.

reading is fundamental i said it hadnt changed krauhammer said it did

talk to the latinos about genocide

transvestite pigs only shows our openness

the polls are from native americans and the team name is the reservation team name

research Oklahoma and get back to me

those teams are very much up for debate . they offend me

no difference in team names the abused people the other is blasphemous

you know what i believe you are here just to stir the pot and troll

i have given you the opportunity to say your piece but soon i think i will just be done with you . you only pop in here when a name debate thread shows up

so give us your last word and then say good nite

Tc. ...why didn't Costas say something about the name in his first 40 years alongside Madden.

Because Costas doesn't really give a shit about the name he's in it for the "cause"

Braves, Indians, & Warriors isn't blatantly as racist as "Redskins" tho.

I can only speculate but that is a great question to ask him.
He is never short for words so it would get plenty of listeners

 

[Sharkinva]

Sorry guys, but when about 1/3 of the HIGH SCHOOLS using the redskins name and logo are located on Native American Reservations and some proclaim as much as a 90% Native American student body and THEY dont want to get rid of the name... why should our team?? And the whole concept that the Word Redskin is equal to the N word is a crock of shit fostered by the change the name crowd to give it more traction. I doubt any one can actually recount the last time IF EVER that the word redskin was used to disparage any one.

The N word comparison really is not a good one. I agree with this.

He's just short and pretentious.

No one.
