Christ on a cracker, can America (the current one) stop trying to make up for the past while the future is in disarray?

Who cares about the names of sports teams? The football team isn't trying to be racist. Why doesn't intent have more power in this topic?

If "the Washinton redskins" is racist so is the "kc chiefs". Regardless of the mayors nickname.

I agree. Total BS. FSU has a history of tomahawk chops, indian riders, headdresses and all too. Many teams and references to indians are being brought up now because this is what happens everytime some idiots gets butthurt feeling. If 1 person is upset everyone as a nation should bend over backwards to make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I live in seminole county. It's not coincidental that non indian democrats are the most butthurt over it either.
If they gave two shits about their image they should be upset most think of indians as alcoholics with gambling problems.

I think the problem with the redskins is the name, not the logo. I think the problem with the Indians is the logo and not the name

This is what I mean. Do you see rednecks bitching wanting jeff foxworthy banned? Redneck and redskin are not that different terms. And we never went to war against rednecks! Lol

Do they want red man chewing tobacco to change their name as well?

"Indians" is a description of a race or a people, just like caucasian or nordic or african, or Irish, or eskimo, or whatever, Some people object to using those racial classifications as sports team names, but there is no question that they are a much lower, less offensive, much less objectionable class than Redskins. They are not comparable, AT ALL.

Chiefs is an even LOWER class, we are no longer even talking about tribes or types of people, now we're merely at profession. Are you seriously going to argue that "Chiefs" is a horrible racist word, on the same level as that other horrid profession: "Actuaries"? That is so dumb, it is laughable.

Again you don't get to say who is offended. If you agree that someone being offended to redskins, then there is someone out there who will be offended by chiefs. I love idiots like you. You are perfectly fine with being politically correct, as long as it's not you that are affected. There is no way to say which ones are offensive and aren't, and you especially won't get to be the one who determines it. There is no way to say who is and isn't offended by things.

But go ahead jump on the bandwagon for them to change, and when the same ppl come after the chiefs, good luck trying to argue with the media that some poor Indian isn't offended by te term Chief

I am just kidding. I just hate Notre Dame.

Don't make me drink and fight you

Next, they'll want us to change the term used to call a restaurant and hold seats for dinners, and the term used to sell tickets. Lol at the indian givers.

Meet the opposition. This is why you don't negotiate with them.

They have their casinos and reparations. Can't we call it good now?
