It should be the Washington "We Can't Beat The Seahawks In the Playoffs"...but maybe Redtails instead?

They could keep the pig costumes.
They also wouldn't have to fix the field either, just put a couple toilets and some broken down cars on the sideline next to the shack they keep the village doctor in.

Here it is. Take notice of where the supporters are all from. Another thing I didn't know was Native Americans sued and on described it as using the "N" word. Listen very carefully if Native Americans are offended, THEN IT IS RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one else has an opinion in the matter.

Most Native Americans are NOT offended by the "Redskins" name. It seems to be liberal middle aged white men that are somehow offended by more and more things these days that are trying to tell others what they should think. If the Native American's were offended by the name, we would hear about it because it would be a HUGE story in the news. It's not a huge story.

Well. that just seals the deal then. Who can argue with that logic.
Besides, there is a politics forum for you to rant against liberals. Please do not pollute the rest of the forum with your nonsense.

So do you disagree with his post, or are you getting more personal? Since there is a clear understanding of how the forum works displayed in your post, I would assume you meant to disagree with the post and just accidentally muddled it up with the poster-attacking language.

Because the deal is MUTUALLY beneficial.
Show me a multi-millionaire led professional team that capitalizes off a Native mascot that is giving back to the Native community.
It's not so much the what as the how. FSU and the Seminole tribe actually have a relationship. Snyder just wants to protect his money. Whenever the cost of the lawsuits is greater then the cost of changing the team name, it will happen. Because that is the bottom line. Not tradition, respect, or anything else but Snyder's profit margin.

Also of note, "Seminole" is not and never has been a derogatory term; it is a proper name originating from that tribe to describe themselves. "Redskins" is... less so. The name really needs changing. I'm fully behind seeing the "Washington Redtails" become a reality. And soon after, we can start lobbying for other teams to change to more inuendo-laced terms.
