re: Goodell defends Redskins name

The Seminoles themselves said they like the name of FSU's mascot. The other universities did not have the support of the tribes they had the name of.

But in the end I agree names of Indian tribes should be ok as there is nothing racist about them. Just like if there is a team named the Zulu or Conquistadors or some other non Native group it would be ok.

Also the Braves and Cleveland Indians are ok because as before not a racist term.

But the Redskins is a racist slang term that should have died out in this day and age not glorified.
And until it is removed or until the NFL or NBA gets a team called the niggers, the MLB gets a team called the wetbacks, a team in any sport from California gets called the Japs or Chinks, and a team from Florida gets called the Kikes or the Nazis I will not drop this issue.

And seeing as nay sane person would agree those racist terms should never be used in this day and age Redskins should not either and needs to be changed. And it will sooner rather than later be changed. Well that or Snyder will be forced to move his team to a state full of racists. Judging by this board Louisiana is a good choice but unfortunately the Saints are already there. Perhaps Texas could get a third team.

The seminole tribe coming out and voicing support for the name didnt hurt.
