SleepingTitan Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 It's my understanding that, like the Irish, the Native Americans like the names of the teams and their association to strength. It's the left wing that's offended by the name. They asked the leaders of NA nations what they thought about the names long ago. Cool story is that the Cleveland Indians were named that because of the 3 "indians" (including Jim Thorpe) who played there. My half brother's father was 100% Native American, and I can guarantee you he doesn't give a flying fuck about the names of teams. "Indians" think it's cool, and their biggest worry is that their heritage and legacy will be forgotten...not that they're a team mascot or logo or image.

chef Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I don't have an issue with naming teams after Native American tribes, though of course with respect not parody. That being said I find Dan Snyder more offensive the Redskins. CreepingDeath, and El Guapo 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To balance your anecdote, I personally knew a native american that worked to change the name of a college mascot for years. The college ultimately did so, but only because of a threat of losing funding from the NCAA. It's weird, it's like you can't paint a whole group of people with the same brush. It's like they are individuals or something. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been this year that they've changed their tune with any solidarity. I honestly don't care what the team names are, and if people are being offended, they should be changed.

I believe what you are sharing. I would venture the doubt that the leaders may not have gotten responses from everyone in their group, though. Either on purpose or innocence.

El Guapo Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I dont see racism with Braves, Chiefs, Indians. Redskins however seems offensive. Douchebags in honor of Snyder would be my pick. begooode, pat, oldschool, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much agree with this. Redskins seems like a derogatory and/or racist term, regardless of its origin. Braves, Chiefs, Indians? Nope, I just don't see it that way. Just like I don't see names like Cowboys, 49ers, or Vikings as derogatory or racist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I always thought they could keep the logo and change the name to the Washington Natives. Native American people were polled and didn't seem to give a shit about the team anyways, so I don't see how this would be a bad play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new name will be difficult to fit on helmets and apparel, but it's so anti-establishment, so the libtard degenerates will like it.
