The NFL's decision to send the Washington Redskins to London in 2016 is a decision that isn't sitting well with the Oneida Indian Nation.

When Aztlan and La Raza complete the Reconquista, will they rename the Raiders as the Aztecas?

Be kind of neat to see their pre-game show, where they rip the hearts out of their captives on the altar...

These Indians need to lighten up a bit. Only a moron would go through life thinking that everyone is offending them. Grow up and get over it.

No. I think Raiders represents the people of Oakland very well.

Just curious...is there actually an Oneida Indian reservation? I see they have a large casino in New York state. But other than that....what else does this guy actually represent?

Something in the water there Oneida was also the home of one of the weirdest “open marriage” cults in US history (they were also the creators of the silverware company).
Place needs to sprayed... or razed.

Unfortunately for some of us, some of that non tax status is no longer a reality. It was real nice to get Long Cut Skoal for $2.50 a tin on the internet for a awhile, until the liberals of NYS stepped in. When it is a question of more money for hack pensions and gold plated health care plans or Native Americans, you know which will win with the Democrats.

For the life of me, I don't see where the insult is in naming teams after Indian tribes. It's an acknowledgement of the bravery and courage attributed to native americans. Even "redskins" with the color reference is not a slam; it's an historically accepted term.

What's next? Forced confiscation of all old coins with a portrayal of an indian?
