Should the Washington Redskins changes their name?

[SonnyCID]

Their name is not nearly as offensive as their play.

Heard all offseason about how RG3 can be solely an elite pocket passer if they give him the chance. Well they did and we all see how that's working out.

They just need to offer Snyder some shiny beads and a couple of cases of fire water and he'll cave in.

It became national THIS YEAR.

No it didn't. It's flared up off & on for over 20 years.

He's in his second game off of a severe injury, and he hasn't played as poorly as you are implying. RG3 is very easily the best young guy in the league.

You said Indian four times. Native Americans are not Indians (thank you Columbus...) As a Cherokee (1/4) I never cared much about the 'redskin' wording more than I cared about being called an Indian. It's not just a PC thing...is it the correct thing....Americans. As for the the Skins , mark me down as for the Skins keeping that name or my brother (a Skins fan ) will not be happy.It's a pride thing for him and their fans. Colors....go figure....are white people really white? Black people really black?

Being a 1/4 Native American doesn't make you Native American, dude. You don't speak for anybody.

Get real.

You love you some RGIII. He looks like shit. It's more than him returning from a long layoff due to injury. He is being kept in the pocket and is very inaccurate passing.

Why is it always 1% Cherokee? How come none of the other tribes get repped?

Because no one under 30 but Aaron Rodgers deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence.



He has had no blocking in either game so far, and coming off a major knee injury is much harder for a young guy without a lot of NFL experience than it is for a veteran. Even Brady had some rough games coming off his knee injury.

You need to lighten up dude. I think a lot of people turn to sports and hobbies to get away from real and important personal problems. It could be that your business is struggling, or the company you work for is laying people off,or you have a serious medical problem, or some one close to you has a serious medical problem, or one of your children has a drug problem, what ever.
Getting uppy about posters being nonchalant about some random sports team name being or perhaps being offense is just wrong.

If being apathetic is your thing, have at it. I am merely responding to this thread. If you don't like what I say, maybe you should be the one to "lighten up" and skip over my post.

There is a handful of young QBs that can be mentioned in that sentence.

His game requires him to be able to move around and run. Maybe RG3 can develop in to a true statue pocket passer, but it's going to take years and until then he will need his wheels.

This is not just about his injury hindering him or the blocking. This is about him being misused because they fear breaking him. A large part of the reason that his blocking looks so bad is because he's not moving well and defenses are playing a lot more aggressively.

 

[JDM]

He would be head and shoulders above the rest if he ran a ten second 40. He hasn't had close to any protection and the only receiver worth his shit has been garcon.

...Says one of the dumb fucks.

I love the irony.

You're not being sensitive to my feelings! I want some empathy you ignorant dumb fuck!

 

[podsox]

I saw an article a long time ago that more Native Americans actually take pride in the name than ones that are offended by it. So to change it would offend more people than there are that are offended right now.

I was offended last night because I went to a store in the mall at 8:56 p.m. and the mall closes at 9, yet they said they were closing. I should sue

U sure that redskins? Seminoles take pride in fsu mascot but most hate redskin

It's the perfect fit considering they can only score when its late, they're down 30, and the opposing D is half assing it

No honest answers and no logical arguments, so you resort to the classic go-to: Deflection. Your posts exemplify my assertion. Thank you for being such a dumb ass; it makes it so much easier.

How's this for an honest answer?

You're acting like a typical, whiney, liberal bitch complaining about how the entire world doesn't take up your all-important cause (a sports team changing its name) and anyone who disagrees with you is an "ignorant dumb fuck."

Go away and burn your bra' or something.

 

[TruHoxFan]

Not this stupid bullshit again. Seems like every decade since the 80s, some libtard idiot steps up and says that the Redskins should change their name. Screw that this team has been around a long time and to date the name has harmed no one.

 

[TruHoxFan]

Indians are from India..the country Columbus thought he landed at and mistakingly named the indigenous people he encountered. It is not really a derogatory name...just the wrong one. What do you call people from India?

So is the term "native american". The implications are far more offensive than the term indian. It implies that I'm a foreigner in my native country which is pure bullshit.
