Poll: 71 percent say keep Redskin

Im in those who are in favor of changing it. I however dont think the government should step in to make them change the name. Activist should just lobby the **** outta the team until they change it.
 

Several politicians have urged NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to force team owner Dan Snyder to change the name, including Attorney General Eric Holder, Sen. Harry Reid and former secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

These 3 need something else to keep them busy. The Senate Majority leader isn't supposed to be involving himself in pro football names, FFS, and that fool Holder - WTF is he thinking weighing in? STFU. Hillary, meh I can forgive her, she needs to stay relevant and in the public eye.

I don't care if they change it or not. As a lifelong Giants fan, I will hate the 'Skins no matter what.

Very few who care. Just think of them as peanuts so it doesnt bug you.
 
Of all the indian-based names, this one is the most likely to be offensive.

Go 'Noles!

As an Italian/Sicilian myself I have never been offended by alleged "racial slurs" aimed at Italians/Sicilians..... As a matter of fact I think they're funny.

People who get offended by that type of stuff are weak - and quite frankly they go out of their way to be offended by something or some word or name.

I have better stuff to do than to be offended....

They shouldn't have to change their name, the only people who are allegedly offended are those who want to be offended.

What team are the PC police going to attack next? The Chicago Blackhawks -- yea good luck with that.

Doesn't matter what any majority says.

If Native Americans themselves want the name changed, it should be changed.

If they don't, then I don't care.

As I said in the other thread we wouldn't keep the "Washington Niggers".

I wish they would change their name to the "Washington Honkeys" or even just the "Crackers". I would buy every piece of memorabilia they had! From hats to jerseys, and I would wear it all with pride!!

Why not, its a popular term for blacks to use with each other. And "redskin" never had the negative meaning that nigger did.
 
And communist killed close to 100million people in the last century but yet they still seem to find useful idiots for the cause. Now that's offensive.

Someone naming their team communists or something?
 
Or because it offends them.

They're not offended - they just WANT TO BE OFFENDED to assert some sort of control over a much larger entity....

Those who are allegedly offended really aren't offended they just want pity and attention, and I find that to be a mental disorder.
 
They're not offended -
You know this how?

So now your telling people if they are, or not offended?

So is there such thing as being offended now?

It was way more than that - Mao and Stalin are responsible for more than 100 million combined, then you have guys like Pol Pot and Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung which murdered another 20-25 million combined over their rule. I mean Pol Pot only wiped out 1/3rd of Cambodia's population. Then of course you have Vietnam..

Of course the majority of that was just murder, lets not forget the famine and disease associated with communism or their "work camps" where they worked people to death and their prisons.

When all said and done it is probably way closer to 200 million +...

The communist way has always been "conform, join the party or die."
 
You know this how?

I know this because rational people don't get offended, and even the few that do just brush it off.

I don't get offended - you know why? because I don't care about anyone who would even try to offend me.

Progressives go out of their way to be offended.
 
The only people who have a right to be offended about the name 'redskins' are Indians. I haven't seen or heard a good reason yet why they shouldn't be.

So only irrational people get offended? Seriously?

Nothing offends you. Yea right.

Yup its only just progressives.
 
I would strongly support changing the name to the 'Bloviators'

That has a nice ring to it and if any sport has a lot of bloviation associated with it it's football and Washington, D.C. certainly has more than its fair share of bloviators.

That "Word A Day" calendar keeps paying dividends even in September.
