Thank god someone has the courage to finally addressed this out rage!
I for one am holding out for a settlement check from the class action suit against the state of Indiana Notre Dame University and the Catholic Church .
Plus if you are listening Gloria Allred wouldn't it be less offensive to call it Notre Woman!!??
And Cougars Jaguars Lions Eagles Seahawks? PETA Where are you!?
And watch out Minnesota Vikings you're next!

Yeah, except not one of the terms you just mentioned is derogatory. Not one.
Snark (and it's not even good snark) and argument are two different things. Do you not think "Redskins" is a derogatory term for Native Americans?
And who do you imagine is offended by the term "Vikings"? Or Notre Dame, which means "Our Lady"?
Do you ever get anything right?

The Cleveland Indians were named after Louis Francis Sockalexis, as a honor to the man who played for the Cleveland Spiders. There really is no need to change the name because of that simple fact. I don't think the politically correct crowd knows this, or cares to know this.

I did see that. It looks like Chief Wahoo is being slowly phased out over the last few seasons. The "C" dons the hat now, it was used sparingly the last few seasons. Chief Wahoo is only shown on the left sleeve now.
I hate arguing, but why is a smiling Indian face deemed offensive? I don't understand.

You want me to laugh, say something funny! Instead of that tired, predictable dreck you just posted.
You didn't mention the logo. You mentioned Gloria Allred objecting to the name Notre Dame in your head.
And if I'm so humorless, why do they give me awards for my comedy writing?
Are you ever right about anything?
-
Once again, do you think the Irish are offended by that mascot? I never hear of anyone who is. So that's not really relevant either.
Now, about that whole "Redskins" thing...
Do you think that's a derogatory term for Native Americans? Answer a question sometime in the next year.

Because it's not seen as a "smiling Indian." It's seen as a racist caricature of a smiling Indian, which is why someone drew up the equivalent logos for Jews and Chinese.

Some group, liberals mostly, always crave being victimized.
As usual, to change something so they can rule it, and open up a
dialogue about a civil lawsuit/legal attempt to win lottery action.
No.

You liberals are strange. I hope they keep it like that forever just to piss you off.

I'm a huge Indians fan. Not a huge Wahoo fan. I'm wearing the blue cap with the red c on it right now and I much prefer it. The name "Indians" isn't offensive though, like "redskins". Case in point the logos were apparently drawn up by the congress of American Indians not the congress of Native Americans.
But come on, redskins is inappropriate for Washington DC's team although the logo is fine

Well bud I thought you were smart enough that I didn't have to come out and say hey it's the logo.
I guess I wasn't right about that at least.

And while we're at it, Mr Dangerfield, dame is a slang term for woman like broad or chick might be offensive.
And the little belligerent fidget is as offensive as chief wahoo. Which is not at all.
Except, of course, to the chronically outraged you find at home in the crank section of your party ie the base.
But congratulations on the awards, I guess it helps not to waste anyof your best material here.

Yes, dame is a slang term for a woman. In English. Except Norte Dame isn't English, it's French. So it doesn't mean that.
And since you're Mr. Black and White Thinking, you can accept that there's anything between "zero outrage" and "total outrage." It's another hallmark of your idiocy.
Now answer the question, because you really are acting like total coward: is Redskins a derogatory term for Native Americans?
-
My God you are dense. Forget it. it's hard to imagine you are that stupid. Especially for an award winning comedy writer.
for your sake I hope you are doing a parody and we just don't get it.

and no.

Redskins isn't a derogatory term for Native Americans??
Ooh boy.
Again, we can't even agree on reality. So what's the point? I figured you'd at least acknowledge that, and then say you don't care because fans aren't using it in a derogatory way, or whatever. I didn't think you'd deny the premise.

...Oh brother. Are you suggesting that "Notre Dame" isn't French? What evidence of idiocy do you imagine you've stumbled upon, oh brilliant bar crooner who gets everything wrong all time?
