And like I keep suggesting, if you think it's not offensive, or not a racial slur, or that only 5 people are angry about it, head down to the nearest reservation and start calling people redskins. See how far you get.

It's the right thing to do money wise, or the right thing to do morally? What do you think Daniel Snyder cares about most, money or morals?

Their motto can be "Take up the white man's burden"

If they change their name will they still do Blanket Day where the first 1000 fans get a free blanket?

Or "White People Problems".

If I was that rich, I'd do it just to prove a point.

Morally, and it either won't affect the money or will make him more of it. He's being an obstinate child about it by stamping his feet and shouting NEVAR!!!11. Which is the typical response when folks say "Hey, you mind not using those racial slurs anymore? You know, because it's like 20 fucking 14 and all...?"

Thread: Washington Redskins will NEVER change name
pay attention, we've had at least 2 people post about their schools changing mascots

lrn2read news stories. Not all of them are.

Would Native Americans be this upset if the Redskins were actually good?

I personally don't care what happens to the Washington redskins. I'm not fan and I don't own a piece of the company, obviously. I'm simply stating that I understand where Snyder is coming from. I'm not one who gets offended. I don't understand how people allow themselves to be offended, but I am aware that it happens. In the end I really don't care what happens with this.

I'm a lions fan. My feelings have been hurt enough;(
