There are many problems with the PC libtard arguments that Washington Redskins is racist.
1. While redskins can certainly be a racial slur when used as an insult without historical context, that is not the case here. The team selected the name nearly 100 years ago in honor of its then coach who was part Sioux.
2. As the Redskins' logo indicates, there is no racist intent behind the name. It was a name selected to connote honor, courage, and strength - desired qualities for a football team and, again, selected to honor the coach at the time. Contrast with the Cleveland Indians' use of the "Chief Wahoo" cartoon, which is a truly offensive drawing.
3. While some have argued (though no one here is clever enough to) that this is no different than a team being named the Washington Negros - a once acceptable term, even to African Americans, that is now universally considered a slur - the comparison doesn't hold water. That is because to this day, a majority of the Native American population doesn't give two shits about Washington's name, and many predominantly Native American schools proudly bear the same name.
