Washington DC Mayor Says Redskins Name Is Racest & Should Change Name

[Spade]

They will not ever going to change the name. But they will always bring it up.

 

[Ice Cold]

Daniel Snyder doesn't care about native Americans

What is "Racest" by the way...

 

[Majestic Pape]

This name has BEEN racist and BEEN offensive, but people will ignore it because it's "tradition" and, really, this country has NEVER given a fukk about Native Americans. And there aren't even enough Native Americans left to make it a HUGE issue, plus there's always going to be enough Native Americans in leadership positions who will say it doesn't bother them.

The situation, to me, is no different if there was a team in the NHL named the Alabama c00ns.

Didnt they say Native Americans put a curse on the team. I think its time we change it for that sake. We aint been shyt in over a decade and the one season we had something going and we have our savior he tears his ACL and LCL .

There's obviously great traditions & history in DC...the Redskins should have no problem finding a name that embodies that tradition & great history of the Redskins organization & city of DC

Oh yeah, and this shouldn't stop at the Redskins.

The Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, etc. (I'm sure I'm missing a couple) need to go too.

There seems to be no etymological evidence that the word "redskin" originally meant anything other than "an aborigine with red skin". According to Take Our Word For It, the earliest recorded use of the word was found in a quotation from 1699: "Ye firste Meetinge House was solid mayde to withstande ye wicked onsaults of ye Red Skins."

Most people assume that the word described the natural skin color of the North American Indians. However, there exists documentation that the name "redskin" was conferred upon the native inhabitants by the English Colonists because of the red body paint they wore in battle. Because the 1699 quotation would certainly be referring to Indian warriors, this seems to be the most likely explanation of the origin of "redskin"..
