Some time ago Dennis Praeger interviewed someone claiming to be a "native American activist" concerning this same subject. The "activist" asked Mr.Praeger how he would like it I there were a team called the Texas Jewboys. Praeger responded: "I would be overjoyed because FINALLY, after 5000yrs someone would be cheering for us". Besides, I was born in daBronx, I'm a "NATIVE AMERICAN", too and not the least bit offended.

Is this all those wacked out “lawmakers” have to do? Worry about the name of the Washington Redskins? Obviously we’ve got way too many of these clowns up on Capitol Hill and we’re paying them way too much. We could probably get the job done with 5-10% of those morons up there. What a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Well, just change the name to the Washington Kleptocrats and see if they like that.

Do these idiots - these fascists who want to control everything - know that the term “redskin” came not from skin color, but from body paint. From Wikipedia:

"The first use of red-skin or red Indian may have been limited to specific groups that used red pigments to decorate their bodies, such as the Beothuk people of Newfoundland who painted their bodies with red ochre."

Any time Maria Cantwell weighs in on anything, you can be safe believing in the other side.

Keep your name. Now, why hasn’t the lgbt community gone all ballistic about the “Packers”, which is a term I have heard used to denigrate gays?
