Are you asking me? I have no idea.

Out of all this dumb sensitive mascot shite, I actually, somewhat, understand how "Redskins" can be offensive. According to Native Americans they interviewed on ESPN, its the equivalent of calling a team "Ni***rs" or "Zipperheads". People in this country are so separated from Reservation society that I think we just don't realize it maybe?

I don't know. Nor do I care.

There's the problem, "according to Native Americans they interviewed on ESPN". ESPN=ABC, if you research it you'll find that 95% of native Americans don't find it offensive and actually use the nickname at their schools and came up with the name for themselves.

Now you can look on some white guilt (ESPN) sites for the SJW / progressive (see Bench McElroy above) view of the name, but remember you're reading some liberal diatribe.

the fact that you have to put stars in one of those words shows that it is not equally as offensive
