Still racist as fukk though. Probably more racist than the name redskins.

people pretending they are part of a tribe is more pitiful than racist.
it like when you see a white person trying rap. i might make the face, but i don't think he's racist.
now if he named his black lab "******dog" or something. i would be offended.

 

[Mr swag]

yep this logo is the most racist part of it.
Imagine if the hornets changed their name to the darkies and used this as their logo.

Or you mean this!!!!!!

Indians - native Americans are not Indians
Braves
Seminoles
Redskins

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) prohibition against use of Native American logos, signs in stadiums, cheerleader and band uniforms, and mascots as presumed "hostile and abusive" was attempted against FSU and the Seminoles. It is considered on a case-by-case basis elsewhere. FSU was exempted after the threat of litigation by the administration at FSU because the university had an agreement with the 3,100-member Seminole Tribe of Florida of the relationship and details of the images used. During the dispute, the Oklahoma Seminole also endorsed use of the name and image.

how is anyone even attempting to say that this isn't blatantly racist?


imagine if there was a team called the San Francisco Yellowskins and their mascot was

Washington things are gonna be real uncomfortable around here

 

[bloodsimple.]

Wouldn't "Fighting Irish" be considered somewhat of a stereotype as well?

I've been wondering the same thing lately.

Just let the dude celebrate. It's like a kid who's been in foster care for his early childhood, but in this case like 20 years, finally gets into a real family and wakes up Christmas morning to his presents:

Redskins fans winning the division are acting like Knicks fans when they won 1 game vs. the Heat in last years playoffs.

Also, using the excuse "b-b-b-but the Native Americans don't find the name offensive!!!" to justify the term Redskins is really really stupid. I have plenty of white friends who wouldn't have any problem whatsoever, and actually would think it was lame and uncreative of me to call them "crackers," but that doesn't mean it's not offensive. Just because somebody isn't offended by something doesn't mean it's not racist.

These people were literally slaughtered and forced to walk across THEIR LAND by Andrew Jackson to places where they were relocated to, and pretty much caged into. It should be no surprise that they are immune to simple words now, after all the pain they've gone through. But that doesn't mean that because they've unfortunately come to accept these crude remarks it's okay to continue doing so. You're an idiot if you think just because somebody thinks it's okay to say a term it automatically makes it socially correct to throw it around all the time. I wouldn't give a fukk if my friends threw slurs at me, but that doesn't make it okay out in the real world, now does it?

Its time to change the name. The fact they are called the Redskins and have a Native American's face as their logo begs for the change.

 

[dennis roadman]

i'm a lifelong fan of the skins and have always wanted them to change their name. i wouldn't be upset if they did, but i've honestly never seen what mr swag posted in here. you guys obviously didn't read it so i'll post it again:

Indians logo has always been the worst. that's some blackface shyt

 

[bright black]

shyt is blatantly racist and proof of how far certain people will go if you let them...

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Its a racial stereotype that is meant to represent Native Americans in battle. The tomahawk chop is the really the most racist shyt. All those white people doing it with their foam toys without a care in the world. It's peoples inability to accept that what they like is offensive and.its on them to get over and not on those who are offended to deal with it.

I wish some native Americans would run up in Turner Field and scalp these people who thinktheyre "just having fun".

That "indian" drum in Cleveland too has to go. It'd be like a team named the c00ns and they have a dj spinning the worst kind of hip hop all game like that is the music that defines a culture

so the Atlanta Braves= racist ?

what about the Illinois Fighting Illini ?

San Diego St. Aztecs? USC Trojans? or the Michican St. Spartans?

Golden St. Warriors?

they all represent the same exact thing in each respective culture..if the "Braves" are racist, they must all be racist right?

That Tomahawk chop, comes from FSU...and the Seminoles actually back them...the Braves jacked that shyt from FSU.

y'all take a perfectly good talking point, then go on all types of nonsensical tangents with things that aren't offensive and compare them with connotations that have never had a positive connotation to them.

Do super Jews live there?

Do Jews like football?
