These people just don’t know how to think outside the box. The solution isn’t to change the team’s name; it is to change their logo: drop the Indian and adopt the redskin potato. Problem solved! :))

Her eyes look brown in the photo, but I think they're really blue.

It reminds of one of the first movies Ted Turner colorized -- Frank Sinatra's eyes came out brown.

I can’t believe the name of a football team makes the most important issues list. We’re broke, government corruption is epidemic, politicians look us straight in the eye and lie to us, veterans are treated like s#it, traitors like Bradley Manning are given taxpayer-funded sex changes, and Emperor Zero fiddles while America burns.

What kind of life do my kids and grandkids have to look forward to?

Flashback: Obama Wanted to Charge Wounded Veterans for Treatment

‘Redskins’ ... Erica Ritz covered this issue.

— Glenn Beck tackled the issue head-on.


“Ninety percent of Native Americans feel that the name isn’t offensive and shouldn’t be changed,” Beck remarked, echoing a letter written by the Redskins owner Dan Snyder to fans.
“Students at primarily Native American schools all across America wear the name with pride, and say now they’re afraid they might lose the name.
At Kingston Oklahoma high school, which is 58 percent Native American, the name ‘Redskins’ has been worn by its students for 104 years.
In fact, ‘Redskins’ was a name first used by Native Americans.”

“In 1932, the NFL team moved to the historic Fenway Park and were left under the leadership of George Preston Marshall.
The very next year, Marshall changed the name to ‘Redskins.’
Why?”
Beck continued.
“Well that’s a good question for the president to ask …
the name was changed to ‘Redskins’ to honor then-coach Lone Star Dietz, an American Sioux.
So the name actually pays tribute to a great people.”

Switching to a deeply sarcastic voice, imitating those who want the name changed, Beck remarked:
“But the people it pays tribute to?
Oh, I guess they just don’t know any better.
But Obama does.
And Peter King does.
And NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell does.
But the majority of the Indians … don’t have a clue at all.
The speech police using political correctness again to take care of these helpless, hopeless people so they are never harmed again.
It’s for their own good…”

Beck said perhaps it’s not those who don’t want the name changed who are out of touch, but those
“who have no connection to the Native American culture, people out there trying to draw attention to themselves.”

Senate action with regards to the Redskins is all intended to be a deflection from all the scandals the 0bama administration is facing. Not one Republican voted to be involved in this Redskins action. Keep the Senate (especially Dems) out of sports.

It's time to stop feeding the VA monster.
