Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

[Monkeydad]

Texans are stockpiling RBs.

They just signed Rex Burkhead to go with David Johnson, Philip Lindsey and Mark Ingram, along with a few other guys.

I guess since they know their passing game will be garbage, might as well.

I was wondering what was going on with Morgan Moses:

"Morgan Moses to visit Bears following tumultuous split from Washington, per report" https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/m...er-report/amp/

I know this is a CFL post but Edmonton has changed their name from Eskimos to Elks.

The real racists win again.

Absolutely NOHTING wrong wit a team honoring a tribe, yet certain people get offended just by hearing their name, and apparently their existence.

Keep erasing people from history...

But the Inuits dont like being called "eskimos" .. so if you want to honor them and keep history accurate .. youd call them by their correct name "inuits" and not the name the white settlers gave them.

Unless you only see "history through the white man's eyes" as the only history you actually care about.

How you, a dude form Pennsylvania, could get upset at a Canadian football team changing their name under the fake banner of "erasing history and we are only trying to honor them" .. just blows my mind at the mental gymnastics and freezing of logic needed to think like that.

They dont want to continue to be referred to by the label white people gave them 200 years ago.

its not that hard a concept to grasp.

Its has nothing to do with you or about you or your snowflake everything-offends-you feelings.

Future generations will probably look back on teams being named after groups of people the same way we look back on the days of separate bathrooms for blacks and whites. It just seems so odd now. Like how did we let that happen? I get it, it's not quite the same, but still, just something that will seem very foreign to us in the future.

You just gotta remind them it was absolutely never was…and to even think it was remotely was is just insane.

But all the Indians will mostly be gone by then because thinking a name change actually addresses root issues within that community is quite something.

Name change solved “it” for so many these days.

Maybe we can be the Washington Its

I doubt it. They will look at this as a time of madness. American will be China's bitch a half century or more from now, ruined by its debt, and its total abandonment of the merit system and honest free market competition. This will be looked at as part of the rapid decline in the post-golden-age of American empire.

What is especially noteworthy is your comment "teams being named after groups of people." If there is no disparagement, what is wrong with it? Will the Vikings have to change their name? Will Somali pirates bring suit against Tampa Bay? Comparing this to segregation is ridiculous and an example of the stupidity that is destroying this country.

The attempt to control everything spoken and said in the name of warped leftist ideologies will not be viewed favorably by any freedom loving civilization. Freedom is most of all allowing that free speech which you despise most.

We could debate whether Redskins a slur, Eskimos is certainly not. It is a politically correct name meant to honor a people whose toughness and heritage is admired. What will be wondered by futurity is why we let totalitarian SJW utopians derail an entire civilization, THAT is what futurity will wonder in terms of what happened. How did a nation as prosperous and powerful collapse and become mediocre so rapidly?

How long until the animal rights activists demand all animal names be abandoned?

Until the SJW pussies find something else to whine about.
Caving into them just emboldens them to demand more warped policies, like giving puberty halting drugs to legions of children and letting men pretending to be women enter women's sports, making a farce of them.
These people will NEVER be sated. They will always find something else to snivel about, and what they always want is something for nothing.

Nice judgements without knowing my ancestry.

The people who are offended by everything are who offend me, so take your childish namecalling elsewhere.

Definitely debates to be had about both Redskins and Eskimos. I doubt changing sports teams names will result in the collapse of civilization as we know it. Teams have been moving away from Indian related names for a long time now. We can get through this latest tragedy.
