What are the next profession teams to change their names?
Ethnic groups:
Braves
Chiefs
Indians
Blackhawks

Non ethnic:
Saints - Nothing With religious connotations
Patriots - Can't have another Trump in the Whitehouse
Browns - Named after their first part owner, head coach and team management that kept blacks out of the league. Also may be confused with being Mexican.
Cowboys- was originally going to be the Rangers but there was a minor league baseball team already using that name. Most cowboys were white.
Rangers - It's already known that the Texas Rangers are associated with racial law enforcement. Also see Cowboys.
Vikings - White Blonde/Red headed men raping and pillaging throughout Europe and Scandinavia at will.
Packers - Named after the Indian Packing Co.

I could go on but where does this sh!t stop.

Do y'all really care about the Washington Redskins name? This has been coming for a long time, and is no way a recent development.

Regarding the other "ethnic" team names, none of them are derogatory like "Redskins". Chiefs, Indians, Braves, Blackhawks, etc.? Not even close. As far as "Fighting Irish", lol, Notre Dame is an Irish Catholic institution, founded by Irish Catholics, so I guess they can call themselves whatever they want. The term "Redskin" is absolutely a racial slur. and historically was used to dehumanize Native Americans. Don't be glib and try to pretend that's not the case.

Imagine using a racial slur for another group to name a team....how would the "Chicago N-Words", "San Francisco G@@ks", "Arizona Spics", etc. hold up to scrutiny?

Imagine being so sensitive and tone-deaf that you are offended for other people who, themselves, are not offended.

It is really racist when you think about it, people assume these poor natives are too dumb to know when they should be offended. Then they come riding in on their white horse saying "don't worry dumb Indian, I am here to protect your virtue because you are not smart enough to realize you should be offended."

Non scientific poll: I used to watch football with a large and super cool Seminole Indian family in Oklahoma, on a Reservation. The favorite teams were Florida State Seminoles, Washington Redskins, and Dallas Cowboys. Nobody like the Chiefs.

Deal is that the White Kids and lobbies in Washington want this. It will really make them feel good.

The “Indians” should just go for the Hail Mary. We want Manhattan back! We want the Tippecanoe treaty and similar undone. That’s some valuable real estate.

I hate to be the guy to say this but if you think Fedex or another big company will standup as an “American” or “Patriot” company... you will be terribly disappointed. That’s over. Jim Simmons, DE Shaw, Steve Schawrtzman, Waltons, Buffett, Mrs Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos are all paying dues to Black Lives Matter and many other left wing organizations. Simmons, Shaw, and Jobs actually run their own version of activists organization. Go see “Emerson Collective” run and operated by Jobs.

Other smaller companies in the Fortune 500 are doing the same. Go checkout Fortiv Corporation. This is a little giant company.

Trump might as well go for broke and declare “ black reparations “ and say that everybody above $1B fortune will pay on a graduated schedule a sum of $14T. With Foundations and other tax shelters NOT excluded.

This would put the giants in a vice and give every black citizen with slave roots stocks and dollars. Brilliant. What does Joe Blow care who owns Apple and Google Stock? Might as well be the black folks of Oktobbeha and Philadelphia county. Awesome for Mississippi. Building Boom!

Instead of letting someone else divide and conquer the USA. You divide and conquer the left. Black folks are not the violent anachist that ANTIFA says, they would be good stewards of $14T versus all these weird billionaires with drug addict kids.

I’m not talking reparations via scholarships, assigned psychologists, and lower rent in ghettos. That’s liberal reparations to keep black folks feeling dependent. I’m talking instant cash and wealth now. Economic boom.

While I don't think the Redskin term is quite the blatant racial slur a lot of people claim it to be (nowhere near the same level as the n-word or several others), and it's usually not native Americans leading these charges, I'm pretty sure that poll was deeply flawed. It called people who 'self-identified' as Native American and didn't really take into account someone's actual heritage or level of involvement in a tribe, etc.

There was another poll conducted by someone else a year or so ago that had the number offended by it at like 65%. And there are definitely native Americans who do protest and publicly call for it to change.

So let's not act like it's totally just made up. I agree that Braves and Chiefs are respectful and seem to honor, similar to Seminoles. But Redskins seems a bit different.

It's almost like the company paid for naming rights, to which a portion of that went into the owner's pockets. Nice way to take corporate dollars and convert them to personal dollars.

I would suggest that Mr. Smith is more "woke" with dollar signs than he is with equality.

Team names were originally chosen to instill a sense of respect, toughness, intensity, and awe in the opposing team. It was not meant to be a racist name at all. Liberals have turned words and their meanings on their heads so now everything under the sun is offensive.

It was an honor to have a team name named after you or your group/organization.

Seriously, Redskins or Indians or the MS state flag are not the hills I am going to die on defending. We all know they have racist connotations or at least undertones.

There are real things to fight for in this country, like proper funding for education, social programs, individual rights, healthcare legislation. Some of you will never look or contemplate someone else's point of view for a dang second. You are too special. Hell I am as left as they come, but I still went to a gun and knife show on July 4th. I love the 2nd amendment. I love that I can legally own 37 guns with 30 boxes of ammunition. Doesn't mean I do not understand what a well regulated militia was intended to be as described by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison. I also understand the stance that the NRA takes on zero laws against the right to bear arms. We fight for our beliefs, but at some point you have to listen to the other side.

What I hear too often on this site and others, is that the left or the right are totally destroying "our country or way of life". And that is just totally stupid. I would argue that Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, HW, Clinton, W, Obama didn't do a dang thing to destroy any of our ways of life. No one took our guns. No one silenced our voices. No one turned the country gay. No one removed God from anything. No one has proposed to amend the constitution. The only bullshit I can even name was totally against our country was the Senate absolutely refusing to have a hearing on Obama's Supreme Court Justice. That went in the face of all precedents and totally ****ed the system. Mark my words, that will come back up again. Obamacare some would say was a step to far, what has it cost the tax payers? https://www.statnews.com/2019/03/22/affordable-care-act-controls-costs/ .

No one wants to talk about it, but the sun will rise tomorrow. The world is not ending because someone you do not like is changing what you believe is your lifestyle. I really hope everyone can realize that the name of the Redskins is basically worth two shits. Who really gives a damn? Racism is not going to get a free pass anymore. If you find yourself getting defensive over it.... maybe you should look in the mirror for a second.

The Montgomery Biscuits is the closest thing to Crackers in Alabama. Not sure if that's an offensive name or not - probably is, since everything else seems to be nowadays.

There was an Atlanta Crackers minor league baseball team for many, many years. There was also an Atlanta Black Crackers in the Negro Baseball League. Presumably the name had nothing to do with the supposed derogatory nickname for Caucasians.

Yes, they (FedEx) do if that support continues. I've thought for a long time that Redskins was a derogatory term for American Indians to the point that the team name should be changed. It has been widely used in old western movies and television shows as being derogatory, right up there with the notion that Indians can't hold their liquor (why would they be any different than any other race?). Rebels isn't as bad, in my opinion, but it has negative connotations; in the end, I don't really care what UMiss calls themselves.

Ask a Cuban friend you say?

Something Americans don't know about Castro is that he was a huge Narco trafficer, Terrorist, and Widely-Known Pedophile. He still got visits from the Hollywood sympathizers and gushing interviews with American Media, but he Bank Rolled the FARC in Columbia and other Narco-terrorists in Latin America. He was Epstein - Weinstein to the x1000 power. He kept sex slaves in the mansions the revolution confiscated from "capitalists".

He actually ran a terrorist network in Latin America. The FARC in Columbia but many other "National Liberation Fronts" in other countries. Before Chavez and before the Soviet Empire collapsed, they bank rolled the bloody insurgencies in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. There were genocide levels of death in Guatemala and El Salvador.

To Americans, Castro is presented as a cute, silly, romantic Latin idealist. He only wanted a better and more just world. Welp, Cuba was one of the richest nations in Latin America and had huge Net Immigration before Castro. Today, it's a collapsed economy and people would stream out if they could.

Another thing that Americans are never made aware of is that the global media created the Castro image to replace a guy named "El Campesino", Valentin Gonzalez. A singing, folksy, guitar playing Marxist guerrilla fighter in Spain. They loved The Campesino until he escaped from the USSR and wanted to return to "Fascist" Spain. He spilling the beans on the atrocities, murders, rapes, and general mayhem of his time as an "Anti Fascist". The French socialist media had to delete his fame. Then came the new clowns, Castro and Guevara.

Sadly, you gotta know some Spanish to learn about this stuff. But that's why so many Latins say "yo no le creo al Miami Herald". They needed to make a new Spanish Language Miami Herald. Americans are generally told that Latins support or feel warmth to Castro.

Another thing that Americans are never made aware of is that the global media created the Castro image to replace a guy named "El Campesino", Valentin Gonzalez. A singing, folksy, guitar playing Marxist guerrilla fighter in Spain. They loved The Campesino until he escaped from the USSR and wanted to return to "Fascist" Spain. He spilling the beans on the atrocities, murders, rapes, and general mayhem of his time as an "Anti Fascist". The French socialist media had to delete his fame. Then came the new clowns, Castro and Guevara.

Sadly, you gotta know some Spanish to learn about this stuff. But that's why so many Latins say "yo no le creo al Miami Herald". They needed to make a new Spanish Language Miami Herald. Americans are generally told that Latins support or feel warmth to Castro.

Right on!

You are off on his statements with the Castro and Malcolm X TShirt. And a large part of his exchange was with a Cuban reporter. There was nothing in jest about that.

Kaepernick hates this country, there's no other way to put it. After he called the country's Independence day a racist event in so many words, he can go jump in the fire. He's a whiny bitch, a nobody and a privileged punk.

Correct.

I saw a news report a couple years ago from England, where the reporter referred to a black person who lived there as an African American. Well - people in England are not American at all - regardelss of color.

They picked the side of a guy that disrespects police(look at his twitter), disrespected the flag, and hates America (look at his twitter) to ur as their poster boy. That is fine. Just means they don?t want business from folks like me. I avoid Nike.

Marco - do you think you'll have any success getting all the government knowledge about UFOs declassified and made public?
