So we can decide on what to do about a useless and stupid argument about a team name, but we can't decide what to do about all of our other nation's problems.
Genius, America.
90% of Native Americans aren't even offended by the nickname. |

racism is still an issue
"90% of Native Americans aren't even offended by the nickname."
says a white person. why would the washington football club be sued by native americans if they don't find the name offensive? |

Its the name of a football team no one is being oppressed or put in danger.

Dan Schnieder has met with many Native Americans and the majority are actually HONORED.

imo, they should just remove all team names related to native americans after they forced north dakota to change from the sioux and i still think removing the name fighting sioux is still pretty dumb

"Its the name of a football team no one is being oppressed or put in danger."
it is a racial slur that is being used in commonplace america. that is oppression
"Dan Schnieder has met with many Native Americans and the majority are actually HONORED."
no, he has not. native americans feel way differently than that. there are many organizations, tribes, and associations that have disproven that statistic.
plus why do you take dan snyder, who is the one in trouble here, at his word? is there any chance he may not be telling the truth? or that he may be finding statistics to suit his need?
" It makes them seem honorable, and strong."
the etymology of the word has it's roots in being compared to savagery. redskins was not a word that was used kindly towards native american people |

"says a white person. why would the washington football club be sued by native americans if they don't find the name offensive?"
after watching a video about the name, the name was actually used to honor the head coach when the team moved to fenway park. the coach was sioux native american.
native american high schools like one in oklahoma have worn the name "redskins" for over one hundred years.
the name "redskin" was used first by native americans
these people in power believe it's racist when in reality, the majority of native americans are honored by the name. |

"The fact that the white Liberals seem to think they know what offends everyone is sad and pathetic."
numerous native american groups, a good majority of the public, multiple members of the media, and now the US patent office (a government office, by the way) all seem to think that this name is offensive
"Its dumb that there is such a fuss over this in the 1st place."
uhhhh yeah i hate it when people are against racism. hurr durr freedom for all |

Also, take a look at this video from Glenn Beck, who granted, is a conservative who loves to rip into Obama, but his video puts it in perspective.

Liberals always have to have something to complain about. How many native americans have YOU ACTUALLY SEEN THAT WERE OFFENDED by it. It's not racist.
Racism = prejudice because of someones ethnicity
Washington Redskins = NFL football team
"oh ur a indiaan lol u dum af redskin lmao"
Who in the hell would be offended by that.... |

" It's not racist."
If it isn't racist then why are Native Americans getting upset about it.

"after watching a video about the name, the name was actually used to honor the head coach when the team moved to fenway park. the coach was sioux native american."
"The team moved to Fenway Park[14] (home of the Boston Red Sox) the next year, and Marshall changed the name to the "Redskins" apparently in honor of then-coach Lone Star Dietz,[15] a Native American (he claimed to be part Sioux, but his actual ancestry has been challenged).[16] A 1933 news article quotes Marshall as saying that he did not name the team in honor of Dietz.[17]"
hmmmmmmmmm looks like that's not true
"native american high schools like one in oklahoma have worn the name "redskins" for over one hundred years."
1. union high school in tulsa oklahoma is not a "native american high school". it is not affiliated with any tribe or band 2. that doesn't make the name okay
"the name "redskin" was used first by native americans"
stop talking out your ass. it was not used by native americans. it was used by white people who were conquering and destroying them
"these people in power believe it's racist when in reality, the majority of native americans are honored by the name."
FFS. why would a NATIVE AMERICAN GROUP sue the washington redskins in court to get rid of the trademark? you are clearly not reading anything
"Yeah I'm sure there are people losing money and lives over this name. I'm sure there are people that are directly put in danger because of this name. Its not a big deal"
that's not what racism is you moron (being a white person, you have never faced it). have you forgotten that the native americans were victims of genocide on their own land? what about the deculturization and the attempted assimilation by the US government? smallpox blankets? unfair laws? racism is not simply "people losing money and lives." racism is discrimination and oppression based on race, which is what the redskins name does to native american people. dan snyder is using a racial slur to make millions of dollars while native american people live on reservations that have the same human development levels as african countries
"Also, take a look at this video from Glenn Beck, who granted, is a conservative who loves to rip into Obama, but his video puts it in perspective."
glenn beck is notoriously well known for not being able to back up his claims, and his video is full of half-truth and old statistics
"The libs just like to play Devil's Advocate whining and fighting the most irrelevant and petty things."
yeah racism is petty and irrelevant. glad to see where you stand ithesportsbomb (also hates michael sam because he is g4y)
"Liberals always have to have something to complain about. How many native americans have YOU ACTUALLY SEEN THAT WERE OFFENDED by it. It's not racist."
a lot of native americans. i doubt you have seen one in your entire life
""oh ur a indiaan lol u dum af redskin lmao"
Who in the hell would be offended by that.... "
a lot of people actually. if you actually knew native american people, you would get a negative reaction to your ignorance
"The majority of Native Americans were HONORED by it but then again the white Liberals know what's best for everyone right?"
THEN WHY IS A NATIVE AMERICAN GROUP SUING THE REDSKINS TO GET THE TRADEMARK TAKEN AWAY
you are really stupid
"These are the same people that think gun laws will make us safer"
how come school shootings only routinely happen in the USA and not in countries with gun laws |
