Did it ever occur to you that quite possibly native Americans took pride in being represented by some of the most appreciated sports organizations in history? You're a fricking Maoist hack.

So, Arlington Redskins?

So explain to me why native Americans continue to show up and beat the drums before every game?
I was simply reporting the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office which held in 2014 that the term "redskins" is disparaging to a "substantial composite of Native Americans.”
I would say that similarly, while certain black people still use the n-word, most people can reasonably agree that the term is generally derogatory.

I wonder what the new name will be. Someone said the owner trademarked the name Bravehearts a year ago. No idea if that is true or false.

Where do you draw the line? Should we be pulling down Lincoln’s statues since he believed AA’s where an inferior race? How about pedophilia being accepted since “they are born that way”?

So you’re suggesting that Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were racist? My goodness you people are stupid.

Of course you bring blacks into the situation, you're pathetic.

It’s not as if we didn’t already know you’re 100% against free speech and the people’s consent to rule in this country but this pretty much cements it.

I’m 110% in favor of government not prohibiting free speech. I am unaware of any government agency being behind the current proposed name change.

You literally just sited the Trademark Trial and Appeal board as proof that the word “Redskin” is a racist term. Maybe you’re too ignorant to even know what you’re saying.

They can do what they want. Won't be watching regardless.
Posted on 7/12/20 at 10:36 pm to Tunasntigers92
They should become the Washington Democrats and Lie, Cheat, Steal, use armed thugs, and bribed officials, false arrests, fixed trials, to win every game they play in the future. They'll have all their opponents banned from the field for the future Super Bowls.

You know what would be fun?
If the new name was the Washington Cavalry, with an 1800s US soldier on horseback.

That ruling was appealed, and while the determination of the offensiveness of the term wasn’t considered, the court ultimately found that they had the right to use the name.
It’s been private decisions by sponsors, co-owners, etc. that have forced Snyder’s hand.
Again, tell me where the government has forced the name change, and I’ll happily argue against that prohibition.

Navajo Code Talkers leader defends Redskins name
quote:
A leader of the Navajo Code Talkers who appeared at a Washington Redskins home football game said Wednesday the team name is a symbol of loyalty and courage -- not a slur as asserted by critics who want it changed.
Roy Hawthorne, 87, of Lupton, Ariz., was one of four Code Talkers honored for their service in World War II during the Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Hawthorne, vice president of the Navajo Code Talkers Association, said the group's trip was paid for by the Redskins. The four men met briefly with team owner Dan Snyder but did not discuss the name, Hawthorne said. Still, he said he would endorse the name if asked, and the televised appearance in which three of the Indians wore Redskins jackets spoke for itself.
"We didn't have that in mind but that is undoubtedly what we did do," Hawthorne said when asked if he was intending to send a statement with the appearance. "My opinion is that's a name that not only the team should keep, but that's a name that's American."
