Redskins Win In Appeals Court

Why do people keep suing the Redskins for their name? Who really cares. Is it really going to make these peoples lives any better if there is no team named the Redskins anymore? If somebody really gets offended that easily I think they have bigger problems.


Same applies to the N word. who really cares... get over it

Thats kinda the problem. Just like the N word is a racist remark towards blacks the word Redskin is a racist remark towards Indians. If you were a Indian living in Washington DC are you telling me you wouldnt be offended at Redskin fans wearing t-shirts and caps that say Redskins? It would be like a Africian-American living in DC and seeing the N word on t-shirts and hats.

Now when I say this im just giving a different point of view. I know Redskin fans respect and honor Indians. We all wear our Burgundy & Gold in pride. Im happy we won another case that lets us keep the name Redskins, logo, etc. Im just giving a different point of view from the other side. If I was a Indian I would probably be offended in todays society seeing the word Redskins as a team of a US Pro Football Franchise.

I know not all Indians care about the name but I can understand the other point of view of the Indians that do.

Can we see your research?

I think the word Redskin may offend a few Indians but as a total population how many are sitting around hoping that they have to change the name and logo. I think of the word Redskin as a fearce warrior that will never surrender.
I'm African American, Irish, and Indian and in California the Indians have their on land ( Reservation)that we can't even go into. They have casino's and their on land what do they really have to compalin about. They can choose to live on a reservation or any other place in America. How much money do they get in government aid. Good luck with this law suit it will be red tape for many years in the court system. Some African Americans think we should be reimbursts for reperations from Slavery. At least they got their on land so be happy and move on. HTTR.

Actually the colors were one of many reasons why I started liking the Redskins as a kid. I don't understand why you would hope not?

I meant I hope Redskins fans aren't supporting the team only because of the colors.. But really, it doesn't matter any fans are welcome :)

Your "YouTube" video does not count as research. Anyone can put whatever they want on there and try to call it factual. There is no substance to that video what so ever. Try again...

I couldnt imagine how i would feel if we had to change our team name and logo.

NO, not close!
To many Native Americans ...the word Redskin ...has the same connotation as the "N" word does for African Americans ,to them it's not trivial.........not by a long shot!
In our ultra-sensitive world it is natural to assume this, but take the Florida Seminoles for example. Same type of thing. AND many whites get all crazy about sueing them to change, /trivializing, and degrading Native Americans, etcs.
Last year I heard one of the heads of the Seminole Nation answer questions on the matter. Although the white interviewer tried.....desperately to enrage the Seminole leader on the issue. The NA's response was "I personally am proud to have our name thought of in such high regard. I consider it a complement that so many non NA's would consider it so"
Oh well.............

The Redskins are a private entity. Things don't have to change just because it offends some people. If the Redskins were a government body then by all means have at it and change anything you like to suit everybody.

Being a private company the Redskins aren't obligated to please every person. It's obviously is not hurting them financially because FedEx is sold out until 3026.

If the American Indians have such a problem with the name then please don't give the Redskins any patronage, including bringing attention to the team with various lawsuits.

The word "Redskin" only gets said more when your lawsuits are broadcast on national television.

If your living in squalor on some Indian Reservation, the name and trademarks of a football team 1000 miles away are the very definition of trivial. Non-trivial things might include food, clean water, medicine, shelter, etc.
