Senator wants Indians name change
 

Yes, that's right. Even "Indians" has to go.

The slope sure is slippery.

:facepalm:

I'll wait till this gets to DC before i comment.

All this politically correct shit. People aren't happy unless they are bitching about something.

Thankfully the animal kingdom can't voice their opinion.

Great post in the comments section sums up my opinion:

I would like to request that the Texans and Cowboys also change their names as it is racially insensitive white people. Also I think that the Dolphins should look into changing their name its wrong to use it without the consent of dolphins worldwide. Also, maybe the Saints it seems religiously insensitive.....actually lets just starts calling them teams x,y,z.....wait wait no that would be insensitive to letters hmmmmm...no more sports that seems to be the solution all they do is promote violence and capitalism anyway.

What about the Dolphins? I say they change their name to the Aquatic Mammals. How dare they call the Dolphins,...Dolphins! Bullshit! RACIST!

Instead of team names, we should just assign colors.

Kansas City Pink
Denver Green
Oakland Brown
San Diego Magenta

I'm down with this idea. It's time to wipe all things "Indian" from any level of prominence in our country. If we ignore them maybe they'll get jobs and just go away.

The Cleveland Native American Casino's.

Q

Hey Senator why don't you worry about crap that matters to the majority of us out here in tax land you useless windbag.

seems like

No no,brown,black,red,yellow could all be considered racist

I could see changing the Chief Wahoo but they won't be changing the name.

....And people continue to vote for these people.

Oh FFS just drop it. The Redskins I can see its pretty derogatory. Indians is a reference and tribute to the fighting spirit within the native Americans.

Anyone want to see a lot more of Chief Wahoo? If so, ban him.

This guy is just trying to get his name out there.

Chief Wahoo DOES need to go.

Yeah, Chief Wahoo is quite the tribute to the Native American Spirit.

No no no, you have it all wrong. Soccer has it down, they just name themselves "United" or "Sporting". This way you offend no one. This is the way it has to be in the world.

**** off, whitey.

Oh, you know it's just a matter of time before some animal rights wacko goes after animal names

beat me to it

Or God forbid.....

JFC. These people are making me ashamed to be native american. Let it go. Move on. Worry about the state of our people and why 95% are either uneducated or are substance abusers and not about the name of a sports team. FFS.

you would think

I'm part Indian, although i've never really worry/identified with any of my lineage. I'm a mutt, like most Americans. I would think a priority would be placed on life or death issues of a race.

Maybe they think a lack of racial pride is leading to other problems though.

State senator, JBP.

If one of these name changes ever comes to a vote, can we all band together and promote "Asian Carp" as the new name?

I am unsure of how much this alteration would alleviate the devastating problems being faced by the Native American people (inb4 Native Americans are makin' da fat stacks from our tax dollerz), but what is clear through history is how discourse can kindle, stoke and reinforce oppression in our society.

what a goofball, headline grabbing idiot- how about we change your name to dumbass

Change it to the Cleveland Engines just to troll.

Cleveland Steamers

this.

"Power" in America is derived from proving that you are the most oppressed/insulted/offended. The more of a victim you are the more moral authority you have.

They should give Chief Wahoo a mustache and say that they represent people from the Indian subcontinent and not Indigenous Americans

:LOL: This!

LMAO

Crap more important than mascot names, remaining unfixed, that demands more attention that this:

1) The unemployed rate
2) Economy
3) Middle East and Russia
4) Immigration
5) A THOUSAND OTHER THINGS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MASCOT NAMES!

Any paid elected official who chimes in on sports, or politics of sports, should be voted out of office instantly.

F***tards

Well, maybe they can...
