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?
-
How weird, a racist Republican.

The Kansas City Star is among several media outlets who do not publish the nickname unless it is the focus of a news story or debate.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

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.

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?
-
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.

funny racial slur story:
working construction for the summer, walk into the trailer the first day and russel, an older laborer i knew from the previous summer and a latino i didn't know were sitting at the table. i say hello to the guy i knew and then this exchange happened
russel - this is paco, our resident beaner
paco (actual name is emmanuel) - beaner? why do you call me beaner?
russel - you're mexican, you like to eat beans
paco - naw, i don't really like beans. i like pizza
-
4 tacos for Paco!

mexican
RACIST!

I don't see how people can think there isn't something wrong with the name Redskins. This is like if the Falcons were the Atlanta Coloreds or something worse. Sometimes there is a little too much PCness in this society, but this isn't one of those times

Colored was once an accepted term. Redskin has been a slur since always.
-

Agreed. But let the market pressure them into changing it.
-
Maybe they'll change it to the Washington Faggots. Sometimes offensive, but not in the context of the Washington pro football team!
-
I'm in Kansas for farmer fantasy camp and lots of white guys were on the radio yesterday that were pretty rough ridin' outraged about this. One guy blamed "Obama administration bureaucrats" which I really enjoyed. Nobody actually mentioned actual Native Americans filling the complaint being a factor but they were probably running out of time.

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.
-
that was a fun read
-
trotting out a couple native americans to give the racist name their blessing is probably the biggest boss.
I recall at MHS when they got the blessing of the resident native american dude in school at the time and even let him draw the logo.
-
Who will sign my petition to make Haskell change its racist "Fighting Indians" name? So racist...
No, but I would sign a petition for Lamar, CO to get rid of "Savages". That is worse than Redskins imo.

The market has had like 100 years to do that and it hasn't happened yet.

When I was a kid, my neighbor always had nuts sitting out and sometimes he would crack open a "n-word toe" for me. Was that racist or not? I think the name was at least 100 years old, but I don't think he had intent to be racist, fwiw. Thoughts, K-S-U-W?

You get should get more pissed at that Head Injun guy and then tackle this Redskins issues.

And there it is. See my point 3 above, only worse, as THE N word has always been racist, even if slavery was once the norm for a big swath of this country. It's a stupid, stupid comparison.
Also kind of a bizarre story. Where did you grow up?
-
In Kansas. I agree it's bizarre that those kinds of terms get tossed around by people like, "meh, bfd...that's just their name." Truly bizarre to use a racially disparaging term like that.

My favorite part is he probably got this thing all ready on ms works and was just waiting for someone to bring up negros so he could quickly c&p their ass

It was just too good tho, so he had to share it with us despite the lack of negro talk

no, you goof. its a perfect comparison
redskin has always been racist, just like the N word
negro is the bad comparison, because it was previously an acceptable term.
your point 3 is right until you get it really really wrong for some reason.
can you give me some examples of proud native american schools branded Redskin?

Sure, here are three reservation high schools with the Redskins mascot (now, you did say "proud" - I don't know if they are or not - probably a pack of self-hating' racists, amiright?)

http://www.wellpinit.wednet.edu/MS-HS (http://www.wellpinit.wednet.edu/MS-HS)
In addition, there are something like 60 other non-reservation high schools that still use the name.
So I guess this also addressed your argument that "redskins" has always been, and is, a racial slur regardless of context.

You do know that the team owner who renamed the team from the Braves to the Redskins was a notorious bigot, right? He was part of the movement to unofficially ban black players from the league in the 30's and refused to allow black players on his team for years after the actual ban was lifted. I doubt we should give him the benefit of the doubt that he was "honoring" said coach by changing the name from Braves to the, generally held to be derogatory, term of Redskins.
-
They are the Washington D.C. Redskins. I think this is closer to a "state" government thing than federal guys.

Tell me again, white person, about how Native American's don't care about the nickname and then sue to halt the trademark.

Ok, I'll tell you. Of course some Native Americans don't like it. All groups have their PC grievance mongers. But if this poll (http://cdn.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2004_03_redskins_09-24_pr2.pdf) is to be believed, about 10% of all Native Americans are offended. The rest either supported the name or didn't give a crap.
-
No one is making them give it up. Snyder can still continue to honor that great NA coach.

You're right. The government isn't making them give up the name - the feds are just giving the team a helpful "nudge" in the right direction by jeopardizing millions in revenue. :whistle1:

So him honoring the noble NA and their legendary coach is only good for the owner if he makes money off it.
-
I know Dan Snyder will not let down the former coach and those high schools that are proud of this name. He will continue to honor them despite the fact that he will not be making as much money on merchandising. It's not about money, it's about honoring them and honoring them proudly.

Not the Dan Snyder I know. Not for a second, nice try government paper pushers

I can just picture the faces of those flat footed goombahs in DC when Dan Snyder stands up and says "I don't care that I will now make slightly less money off merchandising, I plan on continuing to honor that noble coach and some Native Americans who don't mind the name no matter what!"
it will be grand

Nah, I'll stay right here. You can go ahead and tell me to eff off if that makes you feel better. But if you're a governmental entity that is going to punish me to the tune of millions of dollars for using a brand name you find distasteful, that's not ok.

Revenue is actually shared in the NFL. Snyder really won't lose that much effing money.
I'm glad that my government is taking steps to disallow the profiting from racial epithets. The NFL will have more to do with the inevitable name change than the big bad government.
I think the best way to make it happen for reals, is for someone to donate enough money for all of the players to get their game check, and they boycott a game.

Ok, so they won't "lose that much effing money." So it's ok then. And you're still insisting that Washington Redskins is a racial epithet despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Native Americans disagree with you.
You know what we need to fix next? Oklahoma. That whole rough ridin' state is a racial epithet. I hope the federal government cuts all funding until the state changes its name.
Oklahoma is a word that was made up by the native American missionary Allen Wright. He combined two Choctaw words, "ukla" meaning person and "humá" meaning red to form the word that first appears in a 1866 Choctaw treaty. Oklahoma means "red person."
-
I would love to make those rednecks change the name of their state. They should probably get to pick their new name, though, because the rest of America would just name it Trash City USA.
-
I'm still amazed that people are defending the redskin name. not many, but some. people are weird though.
-
also, it doesn't stop them from protecting or enforcing their trademark, they just have to do so in a civil court and not some federal gun registry trademark enforcement nanny state court.
-
Nowhere in the poll linked did even a single Native American say redskin was not a epithet.
-
St. Johns changed their name!
-
Racist white people really hate getting institutionalized racism taken away from them. Damn PC libtards. It's not like institutionalized racism has made being born on a reservation a life full of obstacles that are unimaginable to white middle class white folks or nothing. It's full of gambling and fireworks and no federal law! A regular tea party utopia.

The NFL is a tax exempt organization...maybe the government should give them a choice to either pay taxes or get rid of their offensive name

you're right, the NFL has no influence. They can tell players how high their socks have to be but when it comes to racist terms coming from a member franchise becoming an embarrassment to a professional league, that league can't do anything about it.

Lol, yes. The line is right before redskins. See, I just helped you figure out where the line is drawn so now you don't have to worry about that. And in the future, anytime a name singles out people because of the color of their skin, you can draw the line yourself because you'll know where it goes now.

I can just picture the faces of those flat footed goombahs in DC when Dan Snyder stands up and says "I don't care that I will now make slightly less money off merchandising, I plan on continuing to honor that noble coach and some Native Americans who don't mind the name no matter what!"
it will be grand
I think you made your point in your last three posts, which all seem to be saying the same thing. "It's ok for the government to eff over a private corporation in the name of PC because, after all, it's just money (and it's not my money)."
This is about the courage of Dan Snyder in honoring native Americans.
Also, why does he need the fed gov nanny state to intervene?

My sister went to Miami of Ohio, who were the Redskins but are now the RedHawks. They changed the name before she got there. She is old FYI, this happened many years ago and everyone is cool. Redskins should just change it and move on.
-
Hiawatha changed. I don't even remember what they changed to, but they changed.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
I bet the majority of people who thought the government just said "nope, we don't like redskins. Denied" have absolutely so idea this was the result of a lawsuit.
-
I've never been offended by Redskins, but I can certainly see how the devout tribal followers in this country would be.
As for my name, well I just wanted to poke fun at myself and not really take my personal history too seriously.
Ive tried to change it but get stuck every time.
Whoever holds the power can name me whatever.
-
Agree the name Redskins is derogatory
Agree this is an abuse of the patent office.
They polled DC residents about this recently and 90% were against change. DC elections typically go about 90% for Democrats so that made sense.
Question: what the eff patent is being revoked? You can't patent a logo/cartoon.
-
It's a trademark

Redskins will win appeal dudes.

I remember way back in 2002 when the PC Police forced the Frisco Fightin' Coons (TX) to change their name to the Frisco Fighting Racoons. I mean, when did the word "fightin'" become an unacceptable form of "fighting"?

Yes, the same as many Native Americans. http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=9689220&src=desktop (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.
LOL at insinuating that's the same thing.
Still LOLing? Here come the PC Grievance Police! Woman behind fight against Washington’s NFL nickname says Chiefs should be on guard (http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mellinger/article618354.html)

I would love for the Chiefs to get a new name. I would vote for Kansas City Barbecue. We could call them the 'Cues.

The Chiefs should have to change their name.

I wish the Chiefs would change their name.
But if the Chiefs are forced to change their name, so should the Senators imo.

Yankees is disgraceful as well.

As a very tan white man, I'm deeply offended by the Browns.

As a Cheetah officianado I find the jaguars utterly repellent

The Broncos are racist against horses
-
Not sure how I feel about government involvement. But the name should certainly be changed.
-
I might even join in the end of the national anthem at cats games with "home of the QUES!!!!!"
let's make it happen
-
I always assume Cleveland was a poop joke :ck:
In June 1945, a committee selected "Panthers" as the new team's name. Arthur McBride, however, changed it to the Browns two months later, the result of another naming contest that suggested Browns, not after Paul Brown himself, but as a shortened version of Brown Bombers, a reference to the nickname of boxer Joe Louis.
America's white press began promoting Louis' image in the context of the era's racism; nicknames they created included the "Mahogany Mauler", "Chocolate Chopper", "Coffee-Colored KO King", "Safari Sandman", and one that stuck: "The Brown Bomber".
-
I think that they should just let the redskins keep their name.
-
But, they should change the mascot to a potato.
-
Kinda facebooky, I know, but the team name would be less offensive if they dropped the "Washington" part.

This is a great example of how journalists (and j students) are censoring themselves in the name of PC. The self censorship is more than a little ironic, and is just one more indication of our media decline.

The government has no business passing laws to attack a single business that is legal. Many people find Wal-mart, Hobby Lobby and others to be repugnant. Do we pass laws banning them? Punative legislation against discriminatory practices is needed, but used against a business' name or how they run their business is social eletism.

No one banned anything, moron

So how does forcing a government agency by Trump to use certain words qualify as thuggery?
Washington Post reports, "The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation's top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including "fetus" and "transgender" — in any official documents being prepared for next year's budget.
Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based.""
I think we have bigger problems to deal with.

Weird bump. I think it’s been implied before, but I hope Dax realizes that thinking there is something ironic or puzzling about the above situation is pretty racist.

Something about this just doesn't seem fair. Frankly kind of confusing to a renoneck.
If someone has surgical alterations to change their sexual alignment or goes trans for ever, then they should be recognized as what they want to be providing. ...
This issue is not used to ram horse manure down our throats.
