President Barack Obama says that if he owned the Washington Redskins, he would "think about changing" the team name, wading into the controversy over a football nickname that many people deem offensive to Native Americans. Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names like the Redskins offend "a sizable group of people." Source: ESPN.com markaz's Take: Get ready Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Indians. Your cartoonish portrayl of Native Americans in your logos, etc. is negatively affecting the mental health of a sizable population of people. You've been warned.
I don't know about that. If the team were the Washington Crackers I would want the President to step up and lend his support. This is a far bigger problem than we realize.
i want the patriots name changed because it references the group of people that killed millions of native americans and took their land
There are some things I think Obama should keep his mouth shut on. This subject would be one of them.
Does that mean that them yanking F Troop off the air is a real possibility also??? :icon_eek: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-lgnXM54Zw]F TROOP - IT IS BALLOON - YouTube[/ame]
Another great quote from our greatest president ever. No need to worry about the Gov't shutdown, or the economy.. Or even world events. Lets worry about a sports team. Good job Mr. President! Wish you could run for another term! /sarcasm
If our government wasn't in complete shambles I would kinda understand where you are coming from. But there are people on furlongs not getting paid right now. I think he should be worrying about that instead of this. my .02
obama and the other upper elected officials of the us government should pull their heads out of their asses,and worry about important stuff like getting the government restarted cause that is what they actually get paid for is'nt it?
