Wow. I sure hope a Native American wears Red Skin apparel to the ‘Skool’. Then what? I know I sure as heck would have.

Fake offense in our name, liberals can take a hike.

“...the Nyack, NY HS football team is called the INDIANS. Even though Nyack is like SF-upon-the-Hudson. Rich gays and artiste types moved in about 40 years ago...”

Can such a demographic even support a competitive HS football team?

If it’s important to their collective egos, they go into the projects and recruit, bring them out, providing discounted living arrangements for the families of the players. The families pretty much hate it but if it means a football scholarship to a big name school and then pro football, that’s the ghetto jackpot and so they suddenly develop a bit of future orientation for that.

There’s a Navajo school that uses the Redskins name, too. Are liberals going to make the Native Americans change it?

In Arizona, a Navajo high school emerges as a defender of the Washington Redskins

I’m not a football fan, but if this nonsense continues, I’m buying Redskins jersey

Forget potatoes, what are you going to do next time you have to travel to Nativeamericanapolis, Native Americana?

Indiana is deeply offensive

Actually, at least when I was in HS Nyack fielded some pretty good teams. Of course they were around 60% Black.

I sincerely hope some parents sent their children to school the next day festooned in Redskins gear..

Also...J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS

But I’ve always respected that franchise especially in raucous RFK, Gibbs, winning a Super Bowl with 3 different quarterbacks is an unbelievable accomplishment (and Doug Williams and Mark Rypien were quite middling)
