With everyone being offended by every little thing I’d figure we’d be hearing about it nonstop. Seems like a while since I’ve heard anything about it, where are all the protesters?

No because the owner handled the situation the way everyone should handle PC outrage.....by telling everyone to get fricked because he was keeping his name.

I called this on this very board when it happened

I think the main issue is that they suck so bad the indians are offended.

Give it time. In their messianic zeal to stamp out anything that may offend anyone, the SJW's will prevail.

Read the 2017 SCOTUS case Matal v. Tam. tl;dr Redskins can't be forced to change name and can keep their copyright.

No the new issue is NFL allowing players to support racism in the form of BLM and their anti police agenda through unpatriotic protests.

Redskins are old news and declared a suitable mascot.

The SJW movement is in a tailspin right now. They’ll be losing ground for a generation. Trump is president largely because of America’s rejection of the SJW movement.

It's not an issue anymore because we literally have Hitler in the White House.

So bigger fish to fry.

(and Dan Snyder was a boss...he didn't give a single inch and so all the SJWs gave up and moved on)

Since Indians are also dark skinned people, you'd think that their oppressions would get more attention? I guess their advocacy group is weak?

It will only change if enough people think it is racist or ESPN says it is offensive. Then you will see the NFL change the name.

But my point is merely that they rounded every pup up into that schoolhouse because they fancied that everyone should think and talk the same free-thinkin' way they do with no regard to station, custom, propriety. And that is why they will win. Because they believe everyone should live and think just like them. And we shall lose because we don't care one way or another how they live. We just worry about ourselves.

This quote is from Ang Lee's "Ride With The Devil". It is a conversation between Mr. Evans and Jack Bull Chiles. I think it applies perfectly to the religious zeal in which SJW's and identitarians practice politics.

A shame Ole Miss didn't have the balls to do the same thing. They let Obama and progressives change their name to the Bear Sharks or something stupid...
