As a Cherokee Indian I find it offensive that NPR, ESPN, et al think that I and other Indians are shallow enough to be offended by the Redskin name. Who is sterotyping more; The Washington Redskins or NPR?
I don’t appreciate being herded into an always offended victim classification. The liberals can mind their own business.
Good for you. This politically correct nonsense is dangerous. I am glad you see it for what it is.
I realize the term could be taken as disrespectful, but I find it to be a name that calls forth noble character, strong will, bravery, and dignity.
I have never seen it as a term denigrating Native Americans. I never thought less of them for it’s use.
We live in a society that references Whites, Blacks, and yes Redskins. How is the term Redskins any more offensive than Whites or Blacks?
This is utter nonsense. I am very proud of the Washington Red Skins leadership, sticking to the name. I hope the name goes on for another century.
I also hope this backfires on the people complaining. They should be seen for who they are.
