Diversity in the NFL - It Starts and Finishes with The Redskins

thankfully the nfl has the type of diverse, progressive ownership like it has in D.C.

And the type of gutless administration in NY.

 

Worst idea ever.

 

Keep the name and change the logo.

 

meaningless, wont change a thing

 

it was the redskins that came up with the term redskins. like the n word. they can say it but not whitey.

 

there's so much conflicting info on the origin of the word but it really doesnt mean crap plus let's face it, the victors write history.

fact is just like the n-word which wasn't a racial slur for blacks originally, it is a slur now and has been for a couple hundred years. know the team's history and who owned the team when the name was changed from the braves. the guy was a out spoken biggot and campaigned to stop blacks from being allowed in the nfl.

i'm pretty sure he wasnt thinking about honoring native americans with then new name that he choose.

 

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

 

that is true. victors do write history so how can you really be sure anything you read is correct? I mean unless you were there, there is no way to really be sure.

 

Stubs, I would be surprised if the Redskins were concerned about the lack of an old, old wooden ship. But nice try

 

Ive heard we didnt really land on Plymouth Rock

I heard Plymouth Rock landed on us

 

for the record ... changing the name of the bullets was as about as weak as it gets.

 

Calling them Skins would be offensive to white supremacists, so thats a non-starter. The Federals? WTF? That's horrible. Warriors, just trying to ride the coattails of an actually successful, existing, professional sports franchise, nobody likes a biter.

 

and they should be. knee jerk over reaction to gun violence that resulted in a team named after "trains" having to change their moniker.

a local high school changed their name from the redskins to the skins. it works and let's face it, the crackas in this country cant claim racism anyway so no worries about the psuedo-nazis doging.

 

i am offended by the team name 'Warriors' because it glorifies white-people gang life from the 70's.

 

HEY HEY. That was a semi good show. can't believe only the main character made any more movies.

 

How about the Foreskins?
