Those poor creatures are exploited in sea world parks. Dallas Cowboys? Just think of what those evil, vicious cowboys did to the poor, poor, helpless, completely peace loving indians. You could probably make a case against every team name if you want to go that route. My point. Exactly. Who gets to determine what is offensive?

Did this character successfully portray complex issues via exanple, take these issues to their natural conclusion, and thereby illustrate the extremes to which these issues could be taken? In essence, what I have accomplished in this thread. If so, I humbly accept the compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawks are named after a military division. Chiefs are named after KC mayor instrumental in bringing the AFL Texans to KC. Eskimos use no negative imagery or racial slur. Braves got rid of screaming Indian logo nothing inherently negative about those names on the surface. They may want to review appropriateness. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Redskins on other hand is a pure racial slur. Indians may not need to change the name but the racist negative screaming redface Chief Yahoo logo must go. Quote cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as 'valid' as saying, 'You sit at your computer and type these offensive posts whilst children are starving in Bangladesh! The concern is not just with changing the Washington team's name, but where does it stop? "You can't continue calling the team the 'Buffalo Bills', William Cody was a drunkard." "You called the Seattle team the Seahawks. That species of bird is almost extinct, yet a multi-billion sports league is benefitting from the exploitation of their image!!" And don't think that there aren't people right now who would agree with my examples above. It can get that crazy pretty fast. Is it time for the name to change? Yes. No one meant to offend anybody, yet they did. But you should always have the discussion and not simply kowtow to the mob. Buffalo Bills: Nothing wrong with being a drunkard. Since a Seahawk is a fictional animal, the team settled for an augur hawk. According to Seahawks.com, Taima has been surveying the sidelines of CenturyLink Field since 2007. His name means "thunder," and it was chosen by Seahawks fans. 1 Quote cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL has to USE that fact for brownie points with the players and blm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coffin Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 We all must remember that it's not up to us to determine whether or not native americans are offended by mt. rushmore/redskins/etc. The thing is, most of the people pushing this whole movement aren't even those that have the right to be offended, it's young white people. What are these people trying to prove by hating something not offensive to them more than those that it should/could be offensive to? The world is becoming a bunch of pussies and it's going to lead to the downfall of civilization lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather was the last family farmer.. my dad got weaker, then I got weaker. .I mean mentally and physically. He also taught at a grade school or high school. Things were alot simpler then obviously though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
