I was gonna say "because Irish and Norse people aren't helpless pathetic victim-children". But then again, neither are the Indians. Maybe it's because white liberals don't think they're helpless pathetic victim-children, but they think Indians are.
Yup 😂 the libs are coming for the cowboys too! Saying it’s what blacks used to call us whites back in the 1800’s. So if anything it’s racist on their end! Fucking retard.
So what's safe? The Seahawks? Eagles? Titans? Rams? Panthers may be okay. Jets? Giants? No Patriots. Browns nope. Colts (could be sexist). Lions? Bears? Cardinals? Broncos? Dolphins? 49-ers no they exploited the land and stole native American properties. No Saints--religion. Packers probably okay. Bengals ok. Chiefs probably gone. Ravens and Bills maybe ok. Jaguars probably ok. Steelers may be okay. Texans? They were rude to Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto. Buccaneers were pirates so they may have kidnapped people. Falcons probably ok.
Nine in 10 Native Americans say they are not offended by the Washington Redskins name, according to a new Washington Post poll that shows how few ordinary Indians have been persuaded by a national movement to change the football team’s moniker.
The survey of 504 people across every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the same result. Responses to The Post’s questions about the issue were broadly consistent regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations.
Among the Native Americans reached over a five-month period ending in April, more than 7 in 10 said they did not feel the word “Redskin” was disrespectful to Indians. An even higher number — 8 in 10 — said they would not be offended if a non-native called them that name.
A new survey has found that Native Americans are more likely to be proud than offended by the name of the Washington Redskins.
The survey, as reported by the Washington Post, asked 500 people who identify as Native American to pick from a list of words which one best described their feelings about the Redskins name. The word most picked was “proud.”
Following “proud” came “indifferent,” “annoyed,” “content,” “satisfied” and “disappointed.”
The Washington Post did not publish the full results of the survey, so we do not know what percentage of respondents offered each response, but regarding the word “proud,” the Washington Post reports that “most of the survey’s respondents felt that way.”
These results echo those of a 2016 poll that found that only 9 percent of Native Americans described themselves as offended by the Redskins name, while 90 percent said it did not bother them.
Daniel Snyder celebrated that poll and will no doubt celebrate this one, as evidence continues to mount that the majority of Native Americans are not pressuring him to change his team’s name.
But the origin of the word isn't ugly at all. The word was invented by a native American as a way to differentiate between his people and the white people they had begun interacting with. It was most commonly used in exactly that way for a long time afterward.
No debate that it's been used as a slir, but that usage died out long ago and the team wasn't given the name with the intent to offend. It's only recently that offense has been taken to the name, which is sad... The negative connotations had been removed and the word was commonly understood to mean the football team in Washington.
Walter Wetzel, a former Blackfeet tribal chairman and National Congress American Indian President, urged the Redskins in 1971 to change their logo from the burgundy and gold "R'" to the image it still has today. The image depicted on the Redskins helmet is of John "Two Guns" Whitecalf, a Blackfeet Chief whose likeness also appeared on the Buffalo nickel, minted from 1913-38.
Same. I hate it. It's cringy. They misrepresent them the majority of time. Their emotions or felling offended, actually has no value. Them feeling offended is actually just an imagination. It's not even real. It's really sad. That platform could've been reserved for a black person. But white liberals have this need to feel important. Actually scratch that. Liberals in general have the need to feel important.
We need to push for this change! If the NFL wants to play the “black national anthem” and get political, we should scrutinize every team name until the NFL is full of ridiculous lefty team names.
Lolz someone I live with has been trying to lecture my all week about how racist the 4th of July is and how we genocided the natives..... so tomorrow I’m having a powwow with the family with redskin potato salad and tomahawk steaks. Guess who’s not eating?
Maybe say coleslaw is raysis because it parodies Nat King Cole? Or just claim the creamy white cole slaw is superior to German slaw.
A side of Uncle Ben’s rice. Maybe further appropriate and make it into rice pilaf or just keep repeating pure white rice is superior to Bens brown rice.
Of course start the day with Aunt Jemima and some buckwheat pancakes.
the reason the Redskins are hesitant to rename is multifacted.. think about it. If the left successfully lobbies redskins to change the name multiple things will happen
NFL may lost some fans, this is a minor thing but its bound to happen
The name change would be acknowledgement by the teams owners that the name Redskins is "racist"
Because of #2 now all the Redskins memorabilia will now be a de facto Confederate Flag and seen as a symbol of hate.
This will cause a echo effect with old fans refusing to get rid of their OG Redskins clothing, equipment, etc...
This will further aggrandize #2, again if you wear Redskins gear you are now by association with the OG attire now a racist the same as someone waving a Confederate Flag
Minor impact will be having to redo all the Uniforms, finding a suitable alternate logo, change the websites, change the wikis, etc... basically "Unperson" the term Redskins
The left will never be happy and the next steps are going to be a apology tour done annually, and demand millions in donations to various farleft Marxist movements such as BLM
This will lead inevitably to more and more changes until inevitably the league will have to allow transgender players, demand for such things as abolishing the national anthem, demanding players be allowed to wear a PRIDE flag on their uniforms, demand by putting BLM in big yellow letters across the field, demand black players be given more money due to systemic racism, etc
Then sometime 20-30 years from now the new logo will somehow become racist once again and the whole thing recycles.
or... they could simple do this
Don't change a GD thing and keep the name Redskins
The left will never give up, they will endlessly hound Redskins... not out of any actual convication in racism... but because it sees these things as platforms to play activist from and all that matters is a "win"...
Alex Smith hasn't played since his 2018 leg fracture, which was followed by 17 surgeries and 8 debridements, and at one point being told he might have to have a below-knee amputation. Thankfully that didn't happen, and he's still hoping to return to play for the Redskins.
The redskins management and owner will cave because all the nfl associated corps just dropped them from marketing. This is how you know Trump has them by the balls because they wouldn't dare be this bold unless they felt it was their last chance.
First the Redskins, then the Chiefs, then the Patriots and Bills. Then the Raiders and Buccs for being stereotypes. Every team named after a person/people will be considered offensive. At least we'll have a good laugh when the Packers are considered offensive to gays.
The NFL doesn't have the RED SKINS slated to be contenders for anything for the foreseeable future anyway, so at this point, what difference does it make?
If the Indians had to get rid of Chief Wahoo, then the Redskins should have to change their name and get rid of the logo. Redskin is an actual racial slur, according to the left. But of course, D.C. exempts themselves from their own rule.
Long life the Chief. When Wahoo got the axe (hatchet), everyone on the stupid Indians subreddit was happy, of course. God, I hate that website. Every time I went there, I got pissed off. I'm so glad I'm rid of it.
WaPo, citing anonymous insiders (take it for what it's worth) say it's all but a done deal that the name will be changed - but it might not be happening immediately.
Washington Windtalkers... dudes that used their native language to fight the nazis, would be a big punch in the liberal faces. Honoring the Indians and keeping the majestic drawing would be awesome ...
Irish Lives Matter.
Irish it were so.
Exactly, why aren’t the Vikings & Celtics banned? The Celtics especially have a horribly racist caricature of the Irish
I was gonna say "because Irish and Norse people aren't helpless pathetic victim-children". But then again, neither are the Indians. Maybe it's because white liberals don't think they're helpless pathetic victim-children, but they think Indians are.
Finland, Sweden, Norway, all have cucked out to Islam. They ARE pathetic, hopeless, victim-children.
Isn't norse pride basically raycis now?
Yup 😂 the libs are coming for the cowboys too! Saying it’s what blacks used to call us whites back in the 1800’s. So if anything it’s racist on their end! Fucking retard.
So what's safe? The Seahawks? Eagles? Titans? Rams? Panthers may be okay. Jets? Giants? No Patriots. Browns nope. Colts (could be sexist). Lions? Bears? Cardinals? Broncos? Dolphins? 49-ers no they exploited the land and stole native American properties. No Saints--religion. Packers probably okay. Bengals ok. Chiefs probably gone. Ravens and Bills maybe ok. Jaguars probably ok. Steelers may be okay. Texans? They were rude to Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto. Buccaneers were pirates so they may have kidnapped people. Falcons probably ok.
Nope. Some gay will take offense for it being short for "fudge packers" even if nobody shortens it that way.
I hope not.
They will probably change the 49ers to the 69ers
That’s not a joke. People want the Wyoming U Cowboys to drop their name. Imperialist.
They want the Dallas Cowboys to change their name as well!
Exactly! If we are gonna start banning everything, we need to dump Vikings, Celtics, Fighting Irish, Blackhawks, Indians...
And Washington Redskins! Two offensive! Washington? Redskins? REEEE!!
And don't forget the Chiefs...shit, they'll probably be forced to rename Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs!!!!! How offensive!!!!
What about college football? If Vikings and Celtics are not okay, then Notre Dame is definitely offensive to Irish.
So many teams, so little time to rename all of them.
Guess they will just have to go by numbers. Team 1. Team 2. Team 3...
Liberals ruin everything.
But maybe I am offended by art and hot yoga. Perhaps we should all just sit in an empty room alone with a mask on and forget about doing anything.
Uh, wasn’t the team named after Chief Redskin? I thought it was named after an actual person.

Current logo was designed by a Sioux.

POTATOES IS RAYSIS!!!!
BAN POTATOS NOW!
Potatoes are white on the inside. It's an obvious dog whistle to the KKK and anybody who eats them is a racist.
Some potatoes are purple, blue, or yellow, though. This issue needs to be settled so we can talk about potatiscism.
Fookin right
Life long Redskins fan from a family of lifelong Redskins fan and this one hurts. Especially since actual Indians don't find the team name offensive
https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2016/05/31/peter-king-90-of-native-americans-ok-with-redskins-doesnt-make-name-ok-with-me/
Also, 93% of Reservation residents prefer the term Indian per the US department of Indian Affairs (which is made up of Indians) https://www.cgpgrey.com/blog/indian-or-native-american-reservations-part-0
Fuck the white people feeling offended for others
*pretending feeling offended for others
But actually just trying to use psychological tricks to make people think they're in charge by forcing them to say what they want them to say.
Same. I hate it. It's cringy. They misrepresent them the majority of time. Their emotions or felling offended, actually has no value. Them feeling offended is actually just an imagination.

Same same.
If they change the name I'm done. Out.
PS that's a great video
Yes, why is Indian not okay? So weird...
Dunno. Ask Stanford University and Arkansas State University.
Lifelong skins fan too. I’m pissed.
We need to push for this change! If the NFL wants to play the “black national anthem” and get political, we should scrutinize every team name until the NFL is full of ridiculous lefty team names.
49ers were overwhelmingly racist and excluded black men. The name is white supremacist! Change the name!
#Remove49ers
The gold rush only benefited white men! Gold is literally a symbol of white supremacy! Down with the 49ers!
This needs to happen. GO TATERS!
You joke, but in Minnesota we have a high school team known as the Moorhead Spuds.
Starchy carb nation unite!!! GO TATERS!!!!!
Washington Republicans has a nice ring to iy.
That team would win way too much
That team would punt on 1st down.
Well republicans are used to losing so it would be fitting. Or maybe the Washington RINOs
I would like to see it changed to"Oklahoma City Redskins"or O.K.City Redskins.
Lolz someone I live with has been trying to lecture my all week about how racist the 4th of July is and how we genocided the natives..... so tomorrow I’m having a powwow with the family with redskin potato salad and tomahawk steaks. Guess who’s not eating?
Anyone got any other foods I can throw at her.
Maybe say coleslaw is raysis because it parodies Nat King Cole? Or just claim the creamy white cole slaw is superior to German slaw.
A side of Uncle Ben’s rice. Maybe further appropriate and make it into rice pilaf or just keep repeating pure white rice is superior to Bens brown rice.
Of course start the day with Aunt Jemima and some buckwheat pancakes.
For desert see if you can get an Eskimo Pie.
And fried chicken. The taboo foods.
Succotash? Pemmican?

Please tell them this. It's exactly true.
they won't listen bunch of morons run these organizations that can't see the bigger consequences of its actions
Their QB is shaped like and about as smart as a potato so it fits.
The Left Has Gone from 'Orange Man Bad' to 'White Man Bad
https://pjmedia.com/columns/mark-ellis/2020/06/12/the-left-has-gone-from-orange-man-bad-to-white-man-bad-and-its-going-to-backfire-n520508
Orange man bad, blue man bad, white man bad, American man bad. Therefore burn American cities.
Don’t forget to get your five finger reparations!
My Browns QB is short and dumb. He's proudly going to kneel during the Anthem - well, I thought he already was kneeling, the little squirt!
Woah hey, Alex Smith is a beautiful human being.
I think he's talking about Dwayne Haskins lmao
Oh, gotcha. I haven't exactly been watching any games, just heard Alex was still there.
Alex Smith hasn't played since his 2018 leg fracture, which was followed by 17 surgeries and 8 debridements, and at one point being told he might have to have a below-knee amputation. Thankfully that didn't happen, and he's still hoping to return to play for the Redskins.
Oh my goodness.
Dude doesn't deserve all that.
Not a chance he's coming back
The redskins management and owner will cave because all the nfl associated corps just dropped them from marketing. This is how you know Trump has them by the balls because they wouldn't dare be this bold unless they felt it was their last chance.
First the Redskins, then the Chiefs, then the Patriots and Bills. Then the Raiders and Buccs for being stereotypes. Every team named after a person/people will be considered offensive. At least we'll have a good laugh when the Packers are considered offensive to gays.
Vikings! How dare they!
I hope their chant is the Hot Potato gimmick
The NFL doesn't have the RED SKINS slated to be contenders for anything for the foreseeable future anyway, so at this point, what difference does it make?
You do know everything in the NFL is predetermined, right?
How is it predetermined?
I have native American friends and they like the redskins. Did anyone ask the Native Americans if they are offended before being offended for them?
Can’t believe Snyder finally caved after all these years.
You know who wasn't offended by the name Redskins? The actual Navajo Codetalkers.
Ironically the design was created by a native american to honor his ancestor
NFL can all fall. Fuck them all.
The NFL is trying to go bankrupt at record speed. They could call them the Obamanites for all I care I won't be watching
You will need to remove the racist feathering too, bigot!
If the Indians had to get rid of Chief Wahoo, then the Redskins should have to change their name and get rid of the logo. Redskin is an actual racial slur, according to the left. But of course, D.C. exempts themselves from their own rule.

Yes, true. Major League also has quotes that are relevant to this election year, too.
"Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do...."
What about Chicago Blackhawks?
Reddit? What's that?
This stupid website where the owner lets everyone fuck his wife.
Wow, that's a lot of cock!
I was a big Cowboys fan as a kid. Hated the Redskins. Since all these weak ass MF's are taking knees, I could be a big fan of da' Tater Skins!
Fuck these snowflakes. Leave my NFL team alone you cucks!!
WaPo, citing anonymous insiders (take it for what it's worth) say it's all but a done deal that the name will be changed - but it might not be happening immediately.
MAN O MAN WE ARE GONNA WIN IN 2020 BOYS!!!!! lol
I like the Washington Blacks personally. Other names to consider should include Washington Deep State and Washington Swamp Creatures.
Never mind that national polling keeps showing that the vast majority of Native Americans support the name. Fake "controversy".
Didn't the Redskins go through this nonsense just about 3 years ago? Synder really should tell Goodell and FedEx to go piss up a rope.
One of those potatoes looks like a chode. Maybe that's the whole point.
Winner winner tater dinner!
White Spuds Battered
Washington Red Rockets
I'm actually intrigued by this.
LMAOOOOO thank you whoever made this.
We solved raycism guys, pack it up! Everyone go home and celebrate!
Washington Foreskins
Motto: No, really. We do have a set of balls.
Be the whiteskins.
why not have actual native americans decide whether we should change it. Oh wait because they dont want to
Who thought flushing every mention of minorities from American culture will be anti-racist.
What a bunch of spuds.
IDAHO!
Washington, gimme some of your tots!
A spanish peanut would also suffice
Go Washington Tater Tots
Washington Windtalkers... dudes that used their native language to fight the nazis, would be a big punch in the liberal faces. Honoring the Indians and keeping the majestic drawing would be awesome ...
That’s actually a fantastic idea! I believe the last of the Navajo windtalkers recently passed.
