Flyboy trust me they weighed their options and calculated some of you would leave but, not enough will leave to hurt them that bad hence the name change. No one is making you watch any of if you don't want. I can't even remember the last time I sat down and watch professional teams play

Did your friend get an ID yet ?

[lurker]

Man you guys really need to get a life if your gonna worry or complain about what some city calls their team or stadium lol

I can't believe anyone really cares about this kind of stuff but, here you guys are. I guess it really bothers you guys. I'm just like WOW.

Funny analogy ---- the Leftist got all bent out of shape for 4 years over “mean tweets”.

The Redskin name was very offensive to many native Americans some didn’t really care but a lot of the elders yes. Some tribes it was more offensive than to others. The word Redskin was first used when the government put a bounty out for the scalps of native Americans and you had bounty hunters running wild cutting off heads and half skinning natives alive for money. So to many you can see where that is a offensive term it’s basically like calling a black person a n!gger or a gay person a f@ggot. Also with the Redskin name at games you had people doing war dances and that was considered a mockery of native heritage as well as doing the tomahawk chop as a mockery making them all look like a bunch of savages. I’ve asked the question when I would be in Cherokee, NC to some whether the name was derogatory to them some said yes and would explain these reasons as to why and some just didn’t give a sh!t because it was sports and nothing they was interested in. To me personally I can see any Native American or any descendants of native Americans being offended. It doesn’t really bother me for teams having native Americans names or references but I don’t like it being made a mockery keep it where it’s a honor to have the name instead of a joke. I figured I had enough Cherokee blood in me to chime in on this so if I got long winded about it I apologize.

It was fine for 60 years and then it wasn’t. It is really about a few people feeling good for themselves because they took away something that a lot of people liked. I say it’s time to QUIT paying tribes tax dollars because of things that happened 150 years ago. None of us had anything to do with it.

It was fine for 60 years for some people but, not all. Are you upset with the Team because, their the ones who changed the name. They didn't have to.

Fortunately around here the leader of the local Indian tribe goes to meetings and tells folks NOT to change the name of their teams. Mostly high schools. He does not want Indian heritage canceled.

BOO HOO ! ! I have Irish blood in my heritage . I'm very offended by the name The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. It implies that my people did nothing more than go around beating on people. Aren't I entitled to a name change and some sort of financial gain ? ?

Just think how many names you would have to change with the leftist mentality ? It’s ludicrous. Now they want to change the name of Ft Bragg. Freakin idiot morons.

[dirtMAN007]

And they will ,that’s the sad part ! I think WHITE AMERICAN CHEESE has
to be in their cross hairs also !

[Rajflyboy]

Funny.  these lefty folks need to get jobs. They sit around their two bedroom apartment all day and come up with these idiotic ways to Jack with people.
