No Fan of the Redskins uses that word as a racial slur, whats ignorant is people still calling them indians – indians come from india just cuz columbus was a moron doesn’t mean we need to be

This is another attempt by the nanny state thought police to put on their guilt jackets and fight another battle for people who didn’t ask for and don’t want their help. There is not a more humiliating feeling than when someone fights a battle for you when you didn’t want it. The 91% don’t want this fight, didn’t ask for it and are now feeling heat that they never signed up for. Stop with the nonsense. Leave the name alone. The people that are taking up this cause are not doing so for the betterment of the Indians. Their main motive is because of their guilt.

“If” and “how” RGIII weighs-in on this one, because he will be asked his opinion and I don’t see this “alpha-male” offering a “no comment.”

Now if he supports the Redskins it’ll tell me and millions of other people how deep his Black skin runs . . . Of course the term is insulting and demeaning . . . just not in the little- arrogant minds of angry White guys

1. I thought this happened, and was denied, ~20 years ago. Maybe not.

2. The Redskins should offer to change their name if the NFL gives them 25 million back in cap this year, the remaining 11 million in cap next year, plus draft pick compensation this year for forcing them to play at a competitive disadvantage for the entirety of last season.

In the end, if the Redskins are going to have to change their name (likely), at least use it as a bargaining chip at a time when it’s needed.

Some state should ban any organization that uses an offensive name from doing business in their state. Then Washington could not participate in a game in that particular state or the NFL wold have to relocate the game to a neutral site.

There, now nobody is offended. Heaven forbid.

I know it’s an oxymoron, but you have to admit it’d be a cool team name.

The team says there is nothing offensive about it?
Snyder and the organization is in no position to say what is offensive and what is not to a minority in this nation.
IF the team did the right thing, think of how much money Snyder would make with new uniforms and new logos and other paraphernalia. I don’t think that would offend the team.
What would offend the team?

Your point is a good one, sort of. Snyder and the organization are not in a position to say “what is offensive and what is not to a minority”. However, neither does the group filing the suit.

The National Congress of American Indians, who also issued the original challenge, claim to represent Native interests throughout the Continental US and Alaska, is endorsed by only two recognized tribal organization, each with a constituency of less than 200 members.

Though a uniting force throughout the middle of the 20th century, the NCAI has since seen support withdrawn by the governing body of every major tribal organization, Native governing body and intertribal organization in the country due to corruption, malfeasance and a greater commitment to serving themselves than the interest of Native groups and organizations.

At this point, the NCAI is essentially a self-serving litigious body threatening and serving lawsuits to perpetuate its own existence, rather than serving the Native population it supposedly protects.

In other words, they have as much of a right to determine what is and what is not offensive to America’s indigenous population as Snyder does.

Seriously, do people seriously go around calling Native Americans “Redskins” in a derogatory manner? I’ve never seen or heard about it. The team name Redskins isn’t intended to be offensive, in any kind of way. So obviously these people WANT to be offended.
