It's OK to use Indian names for casinos but not team mascots.

Forget the Indians, call them what they really represent:

The WASHINGTON

Running casinos respects the indians’ heritage? What a crock. indians are always aggrieved about something. They are like other always-aggrieved groups. Aren’t they supposed to stay on their “reservations” and leave the rest of us alone?

This is how Liberal extortion works, make up some silly charge and make the made up offending party give in

Kids gotta be kids. Morons gotta be morons. But hey! The indians get lots of free press and maybe some free money from the NFL to just shut up and go away. That’s what this is all about anyway. MONEY! It’s ALWAYS about money.

Dan Snyder will pull a Boehner and cave. Some back room deal with the rest of the nervous owners will make it worth his while. The media will cheer and Redskins fans will suck it up. Remember, most Redskins fans in Maryland and Northern VA voted Marxist.

I would really like to see Dan Snyder suggest he’ll be open to changing the team name and mascot to George Washington, but he’ll move the team to Oklahoma (which means “red people” in one Native American dialect) in the process.

There are over 125 native tribes in the US. Who’s to say which tribe has rights over the name “Redskins”?

OK, to honor American Indians, change the team’s name to: The Washington Alcoholics

...says the name is degrading and has devastating effects, especially on younger Indians.

Yeah, I've never been the same since I was once called a cracker...

If the idiots knew the story behind the name Washington Redskins maybe they’d back off. Naw, they’re too busy with their sanctimony and arrogance to pay attention to history.

NFL To Meet Oneida Indian Nation Officials About Redskins Name Controversy

Why?

Are they the ones that war-painted themselves completely in red, to scare their enemies?

Halbritter, whose tribe runs a large casino resort in Verona in central New York, says the name is degrading and has devastating effects, especially on younger Indians.

If he is really worried about "degrading" and "devastating" effects on younger Indians he ought to be meeting with Budweiser.
