    Nike removes all Redskins gear from site.

    FedEx pressuring NFL and skins owner to change name.

    I wonder if all these offended white people have asked the Native Americans what they think?

    You know it's white people leading the charge. We white people always let the minorities know what they should be offended by.

    It's always been that way. It has nothing to do with "Woke".

    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."

    GTFOH.

    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.

    CHOP is a weirdo area of Seattle, that’s all. Getting Manhattan back, that’s awesome. Reconquistamolla!

    So you have polls of Indians that approve of the redskins, yet fedex wants it changed. Why does fedex hate Indians. Haven't they been oppressed enough?

    As long as the Feds don?t pull the $20 Billion in aid to Indian Reservations.... they probably could care less.

    Liberalism is a disease.

    Rational thought need not apply.

    Facts? Who needs that when we can operate on emotion?

    They are the intellectual elite. They will tell the rest of us how to think. Blacks, Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians, dont fret! They will protect you with their wokeness. They are morally superior to everyone. Just ask them.

    Honest press? Give the masses the facts and let us decide? We dont need that! Only one view point is all we need! Their views are robust enough to withstand fact checks, stats, and counterpoints, but why subject our feeble minds to all the confusion? Like I said, they are intellectually elite, woke, and morally superior. They will let us know what is important!

    No end in sight. there's no name you can use that won't be offensive to someone. Colors could even be offensive. I guess you could name teams after numbers but I'm sure people could find numbers offensive too. It's reached insanity levels.
