That's why I want the team changed to the white skins, or white trash as you refer to it.

My apologies, there was another reply with a similar name as yours. In order to make things right, I think the best possible solution is rebrand the team as the White Skins. We can rewrite history, but we can at least balance things out. Edited July 3, 2020 by RaoulDuke79

Some people do not believe that or vaccinations or earth is not flat or wearing masks in public or P*ts not cheating. We have a long history of people believing what they want despite evidence. 2 hours ago, Florida Bills Fanatic said: I spoke to a good friend about this a couple of years ago, when the subject was getting a lot of press. He is a Seneca tribal member and resides on tribal lands. He believed that his friends were about equally split on the subject. He had nothing against the name personally but understands why people object to it. He also said that Braves and Chiefs were more aspiring names and were looked at more positively. As I look at it from the point of view that if I had a business and the name was offensive to potentially half of my customers, I'd be looking for a new name. Additionally, having a name that is viewed as being racially offensive to a significant number of people is reason enough to change it just because it is the right thing to do. This shouldn't be that hard of a decision. If it was an insult to Jewish people $nyder would have no issue with changing it. 1 hour ago, EasternOHBillsFan said: Sorry, but PPP is like going into a backed up city sewer after a Cat 5 hurricane... the stench is unbearable.

Chief Oceola is a pillar of pride for FSU ( F them....being a Hurricanes fan) for now at least. Give it a year or 2 and it will be categorized as discrimination or racism of some kind......I'm not sure what the goal is. I thought it was diversity, but it seems like being or having a mascot associated with any type of culture is off limits Edited July 3, 2020 by RaoulDuke79 2

Are the KC Chiefs next? Atlanta Braves? the list of Indian names goes on and on. and you miss the point entirely once again. Those Native American-derived names are not viewed as offensive. The Redskins are. BTW, the Braves’ “tomahawk chop” chant was phased out for the exact same reason that Washington is facing calls to change their name, so do a least a modicum of research before starting a thread. I know your itching to get back into this but don’t go out of your way to make yourself look ignorant. The calls to change the franchise’s name were coming before “cancel culture” really even became a thing. ”Redskins” derives from the term used to describe bounties put on the scalps of slain Native Americans. If you think that’s okay, then okay. 1 3
