Should The Redskins change their name and Logo?
Re: Should The Redskins change their name and Logo?
If the Native American's came out and specifically told the NFL and MLB to change their team names due to the offensive content, then they should. Otherwise, let's keep playing ball.

others have asked them not to, repeatedly
people act like the second request cancels out the first

No they didn't, the U.S. Congress did. And we all know the U.S. government has Native Americans' best interest at heart.AppleQueso wrote:They did.oxymoron wrote:If the Native American's came out and specifically told the NFL and MLB to change their team names due to the offensive content, then they should.

Why doesn't it? Some want the attention to their group. Naming teams after the group is meant to honor and pay homage to them, not to degrade them.dsheinem wrote:some have, repeatedlyoxymoron wrote:If the Native American's came out and specifically told the NFL and MLB to change their team names due to the offensive content, then they should.

So if some want it gone and some want it to stay?
There is also historical tradition with these team names. They were so named before rampant political correctness has taken over.
But either way, if the owner wants to keep the name, it is his choice.

Re: Should The Redskins change their name and Logo?
Exactly. Our government really listens to what they and takes them seriously. Mainly due to all the torture they put these poor people through earlier. So getting a name changed wouldn't be easy but it also wouldn't be too hard.BurningDoom wrote:No they didn't, the U.S. Congress did.

Dude you have no idea of what you are talking about. Do you post in every thread just to be apart of the conversation even when you have nothing to contribute?oxymoron wrote:I didn't know that the MLB was a fan of racism.Jmustang1968 wrote:But either way, if the owner wants to keep the name, it is his choice.
