June 11, 201412 yr I love how all the politicians in Washington are suddenly so offended by the name when they are consistent guests for games. I am fine hearing the calls for change from those truly offended, but hearing it from them is what makes me sick about the whole situation. Plus, there are a lot more important things to debate in Washington than the nickname of a professional football team
June 11, 201412 yr Redskin (slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Redskin Theater in Anadarko, Oklahoma. The town proclaims itself to be the "Indian Capital of the Nation" and its population is 41% Native American. Evidently some Native Americans use this term
June 11, 201412 yr Redskin (slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Redskin Theater in Anadarko, Oklahoma. The town proclaims itself to be the "Indian Capital of the Nation" and its population is 41% Native American. Evidently some Native Americans use this term This is true, but it is like anything else now. You get some support, social media outcry, and couple that with this country's love to protest things they do not fully understand, it is easy to see how this is happening and how it will ultimately force a change in the name.
June 11, 201412 yr I wonder if this is about name change or looking to get paid. Owner has reached out to (paid) other tribes, maybe this group sees the $$$ going elsewhere and want a slice.
June 11, 201412 yr So you would be a customer of a company that promotes Islam? Anti-Christian? Not sure how the question relates to not liking a group trying to force a change on another business. Doing/not doing business with them and trying to force a change are two very different actions.

June 11, 201412 yr Author Not sure how the question relates to not liking a group trying to force a change on another business. Doing/not doing business with them and trying to force a change are two very different actions. Disagree. You are protesting. Expressing your opinion. Ultimately wanting them to change.
June 11, 201412 yr Disagree. You are protesting. Expressing your opinion. Ultimately wanting them to change. Kind of like, say, Evangelical Christians protesting Gay Day at DisneyWorld.
June 11, 201412 yr Kind of like, say, Evangelical Christians protesting Gay Day at DisneyWorld. Or protesting Chick fil A
June 11, 201412 yr Kind of like, say, Evangelical Christians protesting Gay Day at DisneyWorld. Or protesting Chick fil A If memory servers me right, both of protests have had not an affect on the policies or attitudes of the those targeted. Then again, the perception or reality of support for the Native American community from the political establishment in this case is greater. The wheel is making more noise this time.
June 11, 201412 yr .... For the love of everything Holy, can someone add an "I" to anti in the thread title. It is slaying my OCD tendencies. :scared:
