MAJOR barf alert.

As I always say you are entitled to your opinion.

It probably escaped you that most Native Americans have no problem with the name of the Washington Redskins, or any other sports team that uses Native American symbol as their mascot

Another thing: Stop it with your racist comment

Well, I guess you and I have different upbringings. My mother and sister were born in Arizona and I visited there year after year after year. One of my oldest friends dad was 1/2 Creek. (She is blue-eyed and red haired but HALF Creek.)

Also, I spend MUCH time in northern California where the Indians THERE owned casinos. Mind you, gambling, in theory, is against the law in California, but those tribes got to own casinos.

The word was that the Las Vegas mob people REALLY ran those casinos, since the Indians were not really willing to work the casinos...but they did own them. Who could blame them? Some legacy. They let the mob people from Las Vegas run the casinos. I saw this with my own eyes.

Also, I applaud you in knowing MOST Native Americans and their having no problem with the team names. You must be a BIG honcho to all those Native Americans, who by the way, are the FIRST Americans, not native at all. Being the FIRST Americans doesn't entitle them to anything more or less than being the newest American.
We are a nation of immigrants. Or do you think that being the FIRST Americans entitle them to MORE than you or I have?
