Remember the ruckus raised over the Washington "Redskins?" The owner stood firm on the name. Not to worry, though, the federal government has found another way to coerce compliance with its PC demands.

do you think that redskins have a disparaging term for the mighty northmen that they found already in america when they crossed the land bridge from asia?

The Kansas City Star is among several media outlets who do not publish the nickname unless it is the focus of a news story or debate.

Yes, the same as many Native Americans. http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=9689220&src=desktop

I don't support knee jerk PC liberalism. But while we're at it, let's get rid if Chiefs, Braves, Indians, and Warriors too. Too many drunk white people wearing war bonnets, "chopping tomahawks," etc. So racist.

Calling a team the Redskins is complete crap. Its racist and should be removed. That being said, gov should stay out of it. If fans actually boycotted it wouldn't take long for a change.

Stop the PC insanity.

not surprising that known simpleton ksuw doesn't understand the difference between redskins and chiefs.

LOL at insinuating that's the same thing.

I understand that is can be derogatory in certain contexts - just not when viewed in context of the Washington Redskins' choice of the name.

And again, what do you say to the professional grievance mongers who also argue that Chiefs, Indians, Braves, and Warriors is also derogatory? At what point do you draw the line between truly offensive and just PC bullshit?

star seed 7 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 18, 2014, 10:02:27 PM »

I draw the line after redskins, that's for sure

oxford dictionary: Redskin: Offensive, derogatory
Merriam webster: Redskin: Usually offensive
dictionary.com: redskin: Slang often disparaging and offensive.

Canceling the federal trademark registration in response to a petition is hardly an act of thug government. I thought you people hated federal registries anyway?

I don't think the government should get involved*, but I will cheer when the free market judges the eff out of this racist branding.

*unless there is some EEO angle.

But it hasn't, which is why the PC grievance mongers must resort to government.
