Washington Redskins will NEVER change name

I don't support the name change bullshit. I would sue the crap out of the NFL if I was a team owner and they wanted to ram this down my throat, or they would pay me a couple billion bucks in lost revenue. I would also sue the gov over the copyright using double jeopardy. You can't go back and retroactively prosecute someone for a crime that wasn't a crime when they did it.

It's the Obama government... they can do anything they want. He has a pen and paper after all.

If Native Americans (i.e. Redskins) don't give a shit about the name, then why is everyone else offended?

It'd be like a team called the Crackers with a white guy as the logo, except the only people offended by it are black.

In reality, most of the people who are offended by the Redskins aren't truly offended, they just need something to be in an uproar about to feed their victimhood addiction. If they're not being offended by something, they'll create something to be offended by.

TLDR: People are pussies.

You're saying that native americans don't care about this issue, but I'm having a hard time reconciling that with a google search that shows native american organizations against the name. Are they all fakes?

Like I said, it's a football team name. You want to talk about something nobody gives a fuck about? That should be it! Let's get our priorities straight!

It has nothing to do with it being a football team name. This PC bullshit as a whole is just getting out of control. Do you think they'll stop there if the Redskins change their name tomorrow? They'll probably lobby for the name "football" to be changed because it could be offensive to foot amputees. And I wouldn't be at all surprised.

You're right. Let's get back to complaining in the wizard folder.

Just change the stupid name and move on already. You wouldn't walk up to a native American and call them a "redskin" to their face (unless you're a complete asshole, I guess?). Why would you do it to defend the name of a football team? I guess football is that important? I don't get it. Seems like something we could stop arguing about if people stopped pretending they care what a football team chooses to call themselves.

I have. He was my friend. We had fun.

You can google up tons of links for the Earth being flat, the US never landing on the moon, George W. Bush being the mastermind behind 9/11, the holocaust never happening, etc.

Do you feel that the word "black" and the word "Negro" are interchangeable?

Pretty sure negro means black in Spanish, so yes.

If you are switching between Portuguese/Spanish and English, yes.
