“Tony Kornheiser, no politically correct squish”
Yeah, on what planet?
For good measure: Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins ....
Then call them the red-neck shirts.
Can anyone here actually say they they have read Slate. I can’t say that I have unless unwittingly.
What’s next, the Cleveland “Native Americans”?
I used to write on one.............
We will no longer call Slate readable. (Like we ever did0
Political Correctness will eventually fade and disappear. Let us pray that it does soon, and let us aid it in its demise.
“And what should replace Redskins? A D.C. city councilmember cleverly proposed Redtails, the nickname of the Tuskegee Airmen. It nods at the citys African-American heritage, and would allow Snyder to keep a feather in the logo.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a team name like Redskin or Cherokee means derision, scorn and contempt for a group instead of highly valuing that group, then doesn’t that apply to a name like “Washington Redtails”?
These morons can’t figure out that sports teams do not use racial slurs for their nicknames. The word “red” as a self-designation is ubiquitous in Native American parlance, even among leftist-oriented Native Americans. “God is Red,” for example, was a popular book among the Native American left.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Who cares?
My alma mater - Jesuit-run Seattle University, which has turned hard-left since I was there - changed its nickname from “Chieftains” to “Red Hawks” a number of years ago. What is offensive about “Chieftains”? In fact, it is technically not even limited to Native American culture, although that of course was the intent when it was chosen. At least “Red Hawks” is a decent name with some local relevance, unlike the absurd “Stanford Cardinal.”
Changing how you talk changes how you think. The adoption of the term African-Americanreplacing Negro and coloredin the aftermath of the civil rights movement brought a welcome symmetry with Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans, groups defined by geographic origin rather than by race or color. Replacing same-sex marriage with marriage equality helped make gay marriage a universal cause rather than a special pleading. If Slate can do a small part to change the way people talk about the team, that will be enough.OK then. I'll support a name other than Redskins WHEN the NAACP and the Negro College Fund change THEIR names.
