So since the removal of Redskins as the mascot name...I'm curious to see how many of you are still bitter about it or you're just like meh and moved on. For example, any time someone says anything about "native americans" or "Indians"...I find myself going "hey that's being racist and don't call them that...they don't want to be mentioned....#notyourmascot! The name change has caused me to become racist against them...and I hate that. I know it's a small number of them that lead that charge but I am doing exactly what you're not supposed to do and grouping them all together in my anger. I've always been fascinated with their history and loved learning new things about them and a lot of that came from being a Redskins fan at such an early age, but now I'm just bitter towards them. And yet I still call the team the Redskins when talking about them. Anyone else in this boat?
