As expected you are moving the discussion of your dishonesty. And if you just had facts and data..

You are the minority about the name. Nothing supports it as offensive or racist...no polls, interviews, data, etc. I’ve been told words and symbols change over time...redskins if it was offensive hasn’t been in generations. When you hear Redskins” it’s ONLY meaning is player /team for the professional Sports team in DC.

Basically it's like pissing in the wind

[sdskinsfan2001]

If we change to the Redhawks or Redtails you can just update the banner to say FlightPath.

Redhawks .. RedTails .. none of that represents the area at all.

I looked to see what tribes were in our area ..

--------------

The United States Capital is surrounded by just over a dozen tribal nations that thrive along the Anacostia and Potomac River watersheds, Chesapeake Bay area, and the states of Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. Washington D.C. sits on the ancestral lands of the Anacostans (also documented as Pamunkey Indian TribeNacotchtank), and over time neighboring the Piscataway and Pamunkey peoples.

The District of Columbia shares borders with Maryland and Virginia, and connect with lands along the Anacostia and Potomac River. These river systems and current national parks are where the Piscataway, Pamunkey, the Nentego (Nanichoke), Mattaponi, Chickahominy, Monacan, and the Powhatan cultures thrived. According to the National Park Service, the region “was rich in natural resources and supported the local native people.” After the arrival of the Europeans, just 40 years later, there were only a quarter of the original occupance. The indigenous populations were decimated by new diseases and war. Many of the surviving joined other tribes beyond the boundaries of their ancestral lands, moving further inland and encroaching or merging with larger tribes.

According to the documented arrival of John Smith and first contact with the English colonizers in the 17th century, the indigenous tribes were intricately mapped throughout the Chesapeake Bay area. Within 40 years the existing indigenous townships and Powhatan cultures were crippled by the introduction of new diseases and war. The remaining numbers of tribes were forcibly removed from their homelands, pushed further to join larger tribes like those in the northern Algonquian speaking nations. Remaining tribes were sold into slavery in the Caribbean Islands. According to officials at the National Museum of the American Indian, there is no living Nacotchtank lineage left. Their numbers were decimated, and survivors were adopted into the Piscataway people, losing their original identity and descendancy.
Recognition in the 21st Century

Given the romanticized story of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas in this region, the original people experienced the ravages brought on by the settler-colonial introduction of diseases, encroachment and forced removal, and erasure of traditional and cultural survival of the tribes. Today, the indigenous people that reside in the Washington D.C. area continue to present their case for recognition for descendant communities. These citizens fight for their nations hoping to restore or receive a government-to-government relationship with the U.S. government. In Virginia, 11 have achieved state recognition. The Pamunkey tribe recently acquired its land and is one of the only two Virginian tribes that own land after colonization of present-day Washington, D.C. As of January 2018, the Pamunkey, Rappahannock, and Upper Mattaponi tribes have received federal recognition.

Washington Anacostans?

Did not know John Smith and Pocahantos were from this region, i think I may reading into this passage wrong. Figured it happened in the NE area ...

Quick, Matty, ban this guy before people think we're ok with him saying all these slurs on here!

I guess Snyder is going to cower down over the name because he's sceered peaceful protesters may come riot, loot, pillage and plunder Fedex field. Opposing teams and fans do that to Fedex every Sunday during the season so I don't get his reasoning.

[sdskinsfan2001]

My favorite CFL team is the Edmonton Eskimos and my favorite baseball team is the Atlanta Braves.

I went to San Diego State (Aztecs).

My sporting world is all gonna get fucked up the next few years.

I think FSU is safe. By safe I mean the name change lovers will come for them last.

I need to do an ancestry check, I must be part Native America. Every team I like is related most to Native Americans.

The Name Changers are like Marvel's Gelactus. But instead of swallowing up planets they swallow up sports teams then move onto the next one.
