No, and i'm tired of hearing about this crap
Just overheard someone discussing it on TV.. Its a popular topic these days.. Wanted everyone's opinion on here given they are our rivals.
I thought it was ridiculous for Bob Costas to use his bull**** time during halftime of sunday night game to talk about this crap some more.
Didn't catch it, Is he against the name?
Bob Costas presented both views. He said the majority of the native american tribes have no issue with it and it shouldn't be a problem as long as the Redskins logo itself isn't altered in a derogatory manner. Of course, he also noted other sports teams names like the Braves, Indians, Blackhawks, Seminoles, etc...
On other side of the coin, the term "redskin" was and is a derogatory term.
My view is, if it wasn't such a majorly covered issue for all these years since the Washington Redskins started in 1937. Why now? The media has nothing else better to feed on? lol
Exactly my point, what just changed that all the sudden its a problem, its a problem cause the media wnats to make it into a problem
The only part of the Redskins that is offensive is Dan Snyder...
It seems to me, the NFL kind of got the ball rolling with this. They have seemed to perpetuate this more than anyone else.. How many Native Americans really care about a team that's had this name since the 1930's.
I think they'll piss off more people if they change it.. From a fan's perspective, that's a lot of dough to spend on merchandise over the years only to have the team change their name for the sake of a few thousand people that care.
If they had to change the name, the Sentinels (from "The Replacements") would be my first choice... but I couldn't care less what they're called.
I'm offended by the eagles fans no matter what they call themselves.
