at least we got some good memes out of this. meanings change over time. It may not have been derogatory then, by the 1980s people started changing their opinions (in writing).

There's plenty of examples of that. Slavery used to be legal, now its not (in most of the world). Semantic arguments aren't worth engaging in. This isn't a college course and no one really wants to spend 4 hours writing a book report to argue with someone they don't know on the internet.

Come back to this thread in 10 years. You'll probably think this whole tangent was a bit silly too.

In the real world when someone is called a name that offends them, they don't care what some ivory tower etymologist has to say about it.

No, they don't. I'm sure vast majority will be triggered and whine about it cuz the TV and ppl like Elizabeth Warren told them to.. you know, the type that want attention, maybe to be featured in a meme or viral video somewhere.

Then there's ppl who genuinely get offended. Everyone has feelings, everyone's gonna deal with them in the way they deem necessary.

This shit got blown up under a microscope. I hate every single bit of it because above all it screams/screamed woke/cancel culture which is basically fuckin bullying on a grand scale. Fuck that. I'll never be ok with how the name thing went down just like I'll never be ok with the way woke white folks were at the forefront pushing it and we just happened to be the team with a name to pick on so they could feel like they fuckin belonged...

It's not just our name for me - that's just a part of the mountain when it comes to the disdain I have for society today and the way we operate as a populous. It's disgusting.

Nonetheless... go back to WFT if you'll never go back to the skins. I'd rather no name at all then do what Snyder did and let sponsors and societal pressure pull his pants down no lube. I will always root for the team but I don't like the commies, I don't want the stench of Snyder and I want some sort of big middle finger to the soft ass ppl that don't even belong speaking on or advocating for an issue that doesn't involve them just for the sake of it.

Rant done. Sorry.

Yes language changes but in order for it to have changed into a derogatory term it would have had to be used as a derogatory term against someone. Thing is the offended determine what offends them but it's the ones that use a term in a derisive manner that make a term derogatory not those who are the victims of the term. So, did Redskins suddenly start being used widely as a slur starting in the 1980s?

No politics in here but I really enjoyed this speech. Definitely worth a watch.

Change the name to Washington Blackfeet.

Heads would literally explode.

You know how CumHanders is a jerkoff name?
When you think of the word commander, what picture comes to mind?
Is it a navy dude? Is it that pig captain turdy?
What is it EXACTLY that comes to mind when you hear that word?

If the answer is not perfectly clear, then you know that it’s a shit name and the jerkoff that gave it to our team screwed us one more time on the way out the door with the weakest shit in the NFL.

My first thought to the word Commanders is in terms of the military or commander in chief. Never even heard of the term cumhander.

I am too old to care about a teams nickname and the subsequent opposing fans insults. Besides that is no worse than being called the foreskins for the first 40 years of my fandom.

I don't care what opposing fans think, but I do care what myself thinks about the name. It fucking sucks. Now am I tossing and turning at night over it? No, but I will be fired up if they do change it again down the road.
