Did anybody bother to ask Native Americans what they thought about all this? Or was it the usual gaggle of white female Leftists along with their white beta male appendages throwing a hissy fit about something which doesn’t concern them?

It will always be Indians and RedSkins. God bless the Native American tribes. As I jump into the here after I hope I can yell Geronimo. American culture received a lot from our Native American brothers and sisters. Code talkers in WW2 and wisdom about the land. Not stopping the erasing of their history is a crime. IMO.

As well asThe University of North Dakota fighting Sioux, the Grand Forks Central Redskins, the Stanford Indians. I am sure there are others.

"The deep, rich history behind the name, the myth that it means bloody scalps or something derogatory is what we're trying to dispel," NAGA adviser and Kiowa Tribe member Billy Dieckman told "Fox & Friends First" on Tuesday. "It's a status symbol for elite warriors."

"The imagery that you see is that of Chief Two Guns White Calf," he continued. "That's a real person. There's a lot of times they say you need to get rid of your mascot. We don't have a mascot. That's a real person that was gifted to the Redskins in the NFL by the Blackfoot tribe as a forever gift. That's one of the greatest warriors of all time."

"Ninety percent of natives are in approval and see it as a proud symbol. The ones who know who Chief Two Guns White Calf is, it's even higher in those areas."

True. I will always honor them. I believe they and the real black community trying to be a part of this country are real. Always have been alway will. I’m white and those that stand with this country are my kin. God Bless them and America. For me that’s EOS

I sure hope my Cleveland guardians don’t give up their virtue signaling name and return to the Indians!

Why? Because “guardians” sounds like a feminine hygiene product?

With all this going on , Im baffled Chrysler still makes the jeep cherokee.

You're probably a fan of "Dances With Wolves", too. Aren't you? I'm married to a member of an Indian tribe and the only thing those people have contributed is economic devastation and financial ruin via their casinos.

Ever been to a reservation? Hardly utopian.

[Deplorable American1776]

Great news! Maybe Chamberlain High will go back to the Chiefs (The namesake of Chamberlain was nicknamed Chief).

The St.Johns Redmen, UMass Indians

[Deplorable American1776]

Visit the Mohegan Sun or the Pequot reservations in CT.

[LouAvul]

Ah, the exception hardly proves the rule. Nice try though.

The St.Johns Redmen, UMass Indians

Yup. Them too.
