Mascot Issue (AGAIN)

Native Americans as a whole? That's asking a bit much, is it not? I can't think of a single issue that any group AS A WHOLE would agree upon. Even us Warpathians, we disagree on Coach Gibbs, Carlos Rogers' potential, should Lavar Arrington come back, what we should do with the 6th pick, and The Danny.

I agree with your sentiment, that the impetus should come from the Native American population, but hasn't that been reached? Who started this process? Seems it was started by the American Indian Movement! So since your condition has been met, do you now support changing the name?

I'm done with this issue. Why are you asking me questions about it? I will answer one thing you said and I don't want to see this thread again until next off-season, but in order for my condition to be met, it would have to involve the race as a whole, or at least the majority. I thought I made that clear in my previous post, but apparently I didn't. Hope that clears up somethings. Continue beating the dead horse all you like.:bdh:

Please remove me from the dead horse beating list as well. My people as a whole consider the beating of dead horses, and the discussion of same to be disrespectful to horses in general, both living and deceased.
Additionally, it should be determined by the entire population, not by any sub-species (those Shetlands will go for anything) what is, and is not inflammatory, and defamitory to the Horseing community in general.

Sheriff:

When much of this controversy started about 8-10 years ago, I suggested to some colleagues that there was a simple solution to the problem:


Keep the name Redskins.

Change the logo on the helmet to a potato.


No one liked the idea then; I doubt lots of folks would like it now. But it might stop the focus on the team name and allow people to focus on the team performance - - which is a lot more important to me. :soapbox:
You'd be offending the people in Idaho then!!
