Redskins "Name Change" Volume 10000000

[SirLK26]

While Dan Snyder owns the team, the name isn't changing. And even if the name does change when Snyder's gone, the logo won't have to change. If the name change actually happens, though, I'll continue to root for them; and I'll continue to call them the Redskins, even if I'm the last one on Earth to do so. This is a big load of b*******.

By the way, I thought there was sort of an unspoken rule that once we had football again, no one would approach the topic of name change. Ahhhh, well; if I didn't want to read about I just had to leave the thread unopened.

Tell your unspoken rule to the Oneida Nation. They waited for the season to start to launch the most vigorous protest yet against the name. Thus it remains a topic, in-season or not.

Oneida Nation realized a few years back that every time someone does a story on them complaining about the name, they get their casino in NY mentioned. Advertising for pennies on the dollar.

I still wish the media would address the Indian Reservations where the Indians themselves have named their High School mascot the Redskins.

That's interesting. Who did that?

I know of two of them.

Red Mesa High School which is on a Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. And Wellpinit High School which is on a Spokan Indian Reservation in Washington. Both of them chose Redskins as their mascot, and they were both named by the Indians of the Reservation.

Another thing about the name. When are people going to ask for the State of Oklahoma to change its name? It is a Choctaw Indian word that means "People with Red Skin" or some translate it as "Red People".

Good stuff. That is very interesting.

Hey, so this high school is New York on a reservation?

I can't see them changing the name without changing the logo. It's not like the Braves and Indians don't also have protesters and people calling for them to rebrand, and if we are forced to change they will surely be next.

The thing is, the Indians calling for name change are targeting all of them. That goes beyond the Indians and Braves. As well as those two, They want the Chiefs, Seminoles, Blackhawks, Fighting Illini, Warriors, etc. to change.

Amanda Blackhorse was asked fairly recently why they were, as of now, calling for the Redskins to change but not the others. She said that due to others (read others as non-Indians) speaking out against the Redskins, that they want to get that first name down. But that once Redskins falls, that opens the door for them to attack all other sports names that involves something to do with Indians.

They are ultimately going after them all.
