"Why would anyone buy their jerseys, hats, banners and other stuff?" I'm guessing that most people didn't know since the American Indian population is very small and their voice wasn't loud enough on the topic. At this point so many have jerseys, hats, banners and other stuff that they don't likely care anymore.



And right there is the nail on the head, People never knew or ever thought of it as a slur until the crusaders jumped in and told everyone to be offended by such a horrendous word.


But we all know now... What will we do with knowledge?


What should I do? Be offended because I'm TOLD I should be offended? No thanks, I'm not into following the PC crowd every time they get their pantys in a wad over something that doesn't even concern them. Give me a worthwhile bitch and I might follow.

CBS Television, which broadcasts a lot of NFL games, has decided to let each of its announcing crews to decide for themselves whether to use the word "Redskins" anymore.

So, while it may seem awkward for a three-hour plus broadcast for the broadcast crew to never once mention the name of one of the teams, that's apparently acceptable at CBS when it comes to Daniel Snyder's franchise.

Why does the article refer to "Redskins" as a nickname? If it is...then what is the official name?

The "Redskins" diatribe is nothing but bullshit. You mouthy liberals should get a life and quit bringing up needless shit just so you can continue to have something to complain about. I guarantee that those others in the real world who have nothing to eat and are homeless could care less about the Redskins name and your needless ranting about the name being racist. Crybaby liberals are the bane for all sensible people.

Wow the idiotic mentality displayed on this thread is shocking. A group of American Indians is sharing that the term is racist and they are offended. They are offended....not a group of liberals. I'm not personally offended by the name but I can make an easy adjustment when I find out that THEY find the term racist and offensive. Is there any group or race out there that can educate you on what they find offensive without it being a problem for you? Is everybody supposed to stop letting their voice be heard because you are set in your ways? What a joke that a team can't change it's name. Hell I could care less if the Detroit Lions had a new name every season...we can't win a game anyhow.

You don't need to ask Native AMericans how they feel. They have DrMilled to do it for them.

Native Americans never had a problem with the name "Redskins" until the liberals told them they should be offended.

Great post. How ironic that the conservatives on this forum post thread after thread complaining about stuff but somehow it's the liberals that are the complainers. Hello, go look in the mirror.

Amen, brother. I posted a few weeks ago that I am a lifetime Republican, but we own the whining market.

My comment was followed by a barrage of complaining threads by the far, far right, sprinkled with comments about how much liberals like to complain. You can't make this stuff up.
