Actually, I think the "New York Jews" hat is kinda cool. I'd like to have one. Maybe as a Christmas...errr...Hanukkah present???

Christ, kick start your second brain cell, for ****'s sake.

No, dipshit. Redskin is a racial slur, and that is why some people want it changed. The other two names you refer to are irrelevant. Referring to specific tribes is vastly different than a generic name like Chiefs. What an incredible moron.

I live here in va, and this is redskins area. They daily talk about te name change. It's growing in momentum, and yeah every team name isn't safe anymore.

But id like to see Obama open his mouth about his Chicago Blackhawks as they are just as offensive as the redskins. Or how about te fighting Irish, that's just as offensive.

I wish the American people would grow so some ****ing balls. God our grandparents have to be looking down on how pussified we are becoming.

Chiefs, Atlanta braves, redskins, notre same etc. If one name falls so do we all

I don't think you get to be the moral compass for anything.

If one name is offensive to someone then it will be changed. While you think it'll only be the redakins you better think again. They will go after every Indian name in all sports.

Cleveland Indians, Atlanta braves, kc chiefs, redskins, Chicago Blackhawks, etc etc etc

You are a ****ing moron if you think only the redskins will fall victim to thos

The kinds of people who get butthurt over this stuff stay butthurt after they win, because butthurt is all they know. More butthurt is an inevitable as a sunrise.

Do I see how a reasonable person could be offended by Redskins or that stupid Indians logo? Sure. But more importantly, the entire concept of the word "Indian" should be offensive to all Native Americans, since they are not, nor have they ever been, Indians. Seems like actual Indians should be annoyed by that as well. Thanks, Columbus! (And his name was actually Columbo. What a douche.)

That all being said, give no quarter to these ****s. They never stop. Whether its guns, smokes or team names and logos, don't give an inch.

Dayze · 10-10-2013, 06:45 PM

well shit. if we can't have the "Chiefs", next thing you know we can't have the 'Kansas City bundle of stickss'.

we always get screwed

Like hell they are.

There's a very good reason why Washington, and to a slightly lesser extent Cleveland are being singled out, and relatively few people care about teams named after specific tribes.

Washington's team name is literally a racial slur. Thats just incredible. Its about the same as calling a team the New York N-words. Cleveland can keep their name for all I care, but Chief Wahoo has got to go.

GoChargers · 10-10-2013, 06:54 PM

Chief Wahoo is blatantly a racist caricature, and Redskin is clearly a racial slur. It's not a matter of "political correctness," "the pussification of America," or any other thinly-veiled codeword for the left/right political ramblings that really go on in these discussions. It's just a fact.

And society should have progressed past things like Chief Wahoo being revered and protected by now - pretty sad that some people are so blind to the value of being decent to other people that they haven't advanced past that point.

For the record, I don't see Chiefs as offensive, because that refers to an occupation, not a race. It's no different than naming your team the Presidents. And if push came to shove, you could keep the exact same colors and uniforms and just have it refer to fire chiefs instead.

JoeyChuckles · 10-10-2013, 06:57 PM

Times change. Things that were once not offensive become offensive. Is that a difficult concept?

Dayze · 10-10-2013, 06:59 PM

be quiet person of Hispanic heritage.

redshirt32 · 10-10-2013, 07:06 PM

I'm offended that we have sport teams with animal names, bird names, or sea creatures

da bears, Jags, Bills, Seachickins, Fins

wait also the Saints there shouldn't be anything related to religion at all in any team

Best let the US GOV/ACLU/PETA rename all teams they know what's best for all of us and our families.

Sorry, didn't mean to get serious.

New York Jews season tickets are $250. But for you....$195!!!

If I were an Indian in Minneapolis, I'd be more concerned about winterizing my tepee than ****ing with football.

Just sayin'.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 10-10-2013, 07:13 PM

I TOTALLY want a New York Jews hat!

**007** · 10-10-2013, 07:18 PM

Well, if they say Chief is bad name and disrespectful to the indian nation then I guess we can no longer have Police Chiefs and Fire Chiefs either.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 10-10-2013, 07:19 PM

How about KC Boss's?

It's derogatory and means "son of a bitch".
