Redskins Trademark cancelled

Washington Redskins Trademark: 600 Other Companies with Indian Mascots - TIME (http://time.com/2894357/redskins-trademark-indian-interactive/)

I heard Doc Walker say something today on the issue that made sense....not always the case with Doc!
He said to many non-white people think Jesse or Al speak for the black community because they are frequently the loudest....heard. Per Doc. "They DO NOT speak for me....or most of the black community".
Need to hear from the Indian community at large to get any value from the nonsense being....stirred about. To many non Indian....bogus Do-Gooders involved for any truth to come out.
BUT, would make a great "reality" tv show........
...........Osiyo!

Problem solved ya big dummies!

Synder should change the name to the Fed's . Put the US Capitol on one side of the helmet , the White house on the other . Put a second " Big screen " in the Stadium , show the ticker with our national debt running . Every Sunday ( or MNF ) , I would have on the screen a picture of " ass- of the week ", and have a politician's name and picture showing what they have done to hurt working Americans . Our home opener , have harry reid dressed like a dallass cowboy , nyg and an iggles cheerleader .

Our nickname could be the CAP's CROOKED ASS POLITICIANS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What irks me about this is the hyprocisy of a vast majority of the people that want it changed.

Friend A: Your religion/god/diety is about as legitimate as the flying spaghetti monster.

Friend B: That statement totally offends me and what I stand for.

Friend A: So where do you feel like eating?

Friend B: Let's go grab some sushi.

See what I did here? Friend B does not define Friend A by his conflicting perspective towards his religious beliefs. Friend B is even offended by the statement. But it's just part of what makes Friend A, Friend A. There's much more to Friend A than just his offensive spiritual statement- honesty, loyalty, etc. Values that Friend B exhibit trump his offended feelings when religion is discussed.

I sincerely don't like the team name... But the name doesn't negate all the reasons (listed several pages back) why I follow the organization. Behaving in absolutes will eventually trip you up somewhere down the line.

How many people here saw the new X-Men? Bryan Singer (the director) is being accused of some pretty serious stuff (http://www.scribd.com/doc/218742717/Bryan-Singer-Accused-of-Sexually-Abusing-Underage-Boy-Pt-1-TheWrap). The average person had no idea this is going on, those who knew are naturally withholding judgment before boycotting... but I know quite a few industry heads who think he's guilty (based on years of well-known industry lore regarding Singer's circle) and went to see it anyway. I'm fairly certain they are offended/disgusted/soul crushed by child rape, but they did not define the entire film by the alleged actions of its director. When you boycott a film you originally intended to see, you also hurt the writers, editors, VFX, camera, talent, etc. (OT- Amy Berg is working on a documentary that is going to blow the lid off Hollywood's evil secret; just like she did with her previous documentary dealing with the Catholic Church).

Similar to how a director has the biggest creative role in a film, the Redskins name is obviously a big part of the team's brand. But there are other elements that connect a fan with the team; elements that trump the name.

What could possibly make you think that it would be appropriate to compare the Redskins name issue to the rape of a child? That is disgusting!

What irks me about this is the hyprocisy of a vast majority of the people that want it changed.

By "hypocrisy" you mean that they don't really care about Indians but still support the name change?

That is a piece of it.

If the team has to change its name, the only result I would respect is dropping the Native American theme completely. Why keep that theme and continue to expose ourselves to the inevitable NEXT round of political correctness?

Until then, HTTR.
