    The Rainbow Warriors were the name of the Hawaii University sports teams.

    Fuck you and your 'native american friends'. I don't give a rats ass.

    Is that an offer? You looking for a little gay Indian action?

    oh the great ol' U S of A where you are a hero if you change your gender or march to defend thugs.

    how come there is no great surge or PC push to change the indian's 'chief wahoo' logo? (maybe cuz the indians don't play in dc?)

    how about this, we scrap everything ever done. clean your mind of the overly gay frankenberry commercials, the times where people used to drink and smoke on tv. stop all comedians from cracking jokes that might offend people and we can all have grey skin (melting pot), no hair, big eyes, no nose and dress in robes and watch soccer. how's that? will everybody be happy then?

    (doubt it).

    Great post Mik.

    It's a myth that they're "peeved off" about it. They've never even complained about it until a couple years ago when this entire hubbub started. To grant their request now would be to implicitly grant license to anyone to begin complaining about anything NFL-related with the knowledge that the NFL will soon enough cave.

    Page 1 of the liberal playbook: complain until you get your way. No coincidence these are the same techniques used by small children.

    So you've talked to many Native Americans and asked their opinion on it? So I should tell my Native American friends who, ya know, live and work with other Native Americans and have always been opposed to the slur they don't actually feel that way? Get your head out of your ass for 2 seconds and realize the world is a big place. Just because you feel like it shouldn't offend anyone doesn't mean jack shit. It's not "liberal" or "PC" to change things that marginalize huge groups of people, it's the right thing to do.

    Fuck you and your 'native american friends'. I don't give a rats ass.

    Hey look... they're taking down the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag at the South Carolina state capitol as I type this.

    Times change folks.

    Movements that dare consider the rights/needs/sensibilities of others tend to gain support over time.

    Always have...

    Always will.

    And they changed your original posting of Sweet Home Alabama so the cover no longer has the Confederate Battle Flag. PC has lost it entirely.

    Haven't had time to read the whole thread, but being the PC antagonistic Bastard that I am I'm tempted to load up on the Red Skins gear and bandy it about here in Liberal PC Seahawk land just tweak their PC asses . . .

    I F'n' hate PC Bullshit, and this reeks of it . . . .

    Shit is Shit, and sugar coating doesn't change that . . . GTFO'er it . . . it's just like the stupid Confederate Flag Bullshit running down in S.C. - it wasn't about Slavery dumb asses, get over it.

    Talk about Waggin' The Fuckin' Dog to misdirect the masses . . .

    If I tweaked your noses with my (Liberal) comments . . . I'm seriously not sorry,

    I'v had the BS Opened Minded (so much that their Brains have fallen out) Bullshit rammed down my throat in both Madison WI & here in WA that I just can't get over how stupid people are . . .

    Zombo, if you want to delete my Account over this, feel free . . . enough is enough.

    could be a great investment......buy some stuff with the name on it and just stash it away.....might become a rare collectible....

    Not in our lifetime, Redskins gear has been around for decades, it'll be a looonnnngggg time before it becomes rare.

    I'd think it would be more likely for the beanie baby market to swing back around.

    I've been watching Treme lately. Boy I hope the Native Americans never come against Mardi Gras.

    Here's the question. Does anyone here believe when the professional football team was named the Redskins it was in order to make fun of, demean or belittle a race of people or do you believe that name was chosen because they wished to associate their team with a proud strong and noble group? Pick one.

    They chose the Redskins name as an honor. If American Indians were offended though I would be for removing the Redskins name even if the purpose was to honor them. I want to be respectful but the polling data I saw showed about 90 percent of American Indians were not offended over the Redskins name so if they are not offended I don't care about non Indians who take up the offended cause for them.

    In 2004, the National Annenberg Election Survey asked 768 people who identified themselves as Indian whether they found the name “Washington Redskins” offensive. Almost 90 percent said it did not bother them.

    The guy that chose the name: George Preston Marshall.....was an avowed racist. He did not allow black players onto his team until the 60s when the Civil Rights Act was passed and he was threatened with being disallowed to play in the government owned stadium there in DC. He acquiesced, but it was not done voluntarily.

    And by all accounts, despite what he says, I do not think his attitude toward Native Americans was any better than his attitude toward blacks.

    So.....yes, given who chose the name.....there certainly theoretically could have been a racist element to the selection....but you are right, it seems incongruous that he would purposely choose a demeaning name. It is likely he did so out of ignorance more than anything else.
