The Left are being Bullies yet again.

Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that.

It's not going to change. Get over it. Also, John Oliver is still not funny.

They call themselves Redskins at the native american high school I drove by years ago.

I guess the progressives haven't told them what is politically correct.

I can imagine John Oliver making the trek out there and telling them 'Bloody 'ell, you cahn't call yourselves Redskins! It's degrading!"

I believe your story as much as I believe "Some of my best friends are black".

I live in Washington; there's First Nations people all over the place here. I've never once heard any of them refer to themselves as "Redskins". I've been on reservations, been to potlatches -- never once did the word "Redskin" come up. And I'd no more call a First Nations person "Redskin" than I'd call a black person a "nigger".

Sorry you don't have the same level of respect for others.

Wait...unyielding, indomitable?!? Funny, it seemed to me that they yielded to domination long ago. Did I miss something?

here ya go, ya fatuous twit

you're almost as smart as voodoo

(I don't like to name-call but it seems to be allowed here by others so I may as well return the invective)

Guns and smallpox blankets will do that to you.

True that.
It just seemed ignorant to hear someone say they are unyielding and/or indomitable when they are obviously both yielding and dominated.

...And the United Negro College League still calls themselves 'Negro'...I guess the progressives haven't told them what is politically incorrect yet, or perhaps they were created in a culture where that label was considered non-offensive by those in control and the new leadership of today has decided that, even though it's offensive to most people today, re-branding an otherwise positive organization in the name of minimizing temporal offensiveness could do more harm than good, but they may still realize their name is uncomfortable for many and an issue.
..or perhaps this sub set of natives is not offended by 'redskin'...it's far more offensive to believe all natives must think alike than it is to call them 'redskin' IMO.

So it's ok I'll call my soccer team "Redneck Incest Crackers" then?
We used to be the "Jesus Faggots" but then had to change the name because people thought we were the "Pedo Priests" all the time.

Change the name from Redskins to the Washington Cavalry.

Watch the twits explode.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has canceled the Washington Redskins trademark registration, calling the football team’s name “disparaging to Native Americans.”

You can google a pic of real native americans so offended at Redskins stadium that they put on the team jackets.

A nice publicity stunt by Dan Snyder, but the code talkers are not the leaders or the representatives of all first nation people. Give it up, you're on the wrong side of history here buddy.

Yes, PC Overlord!

But I imagine those code-talkers are more indian than you, so I think they would know more about it.

If you support the name "Redskins" you've got your head so far up your ass, you probably just don't realize because you're stuck in your ways. Dr. Dre calls a black man a nigga, so why don't we start up a team called the L.A. Niggas. Or, to be fair, the L.A. Blackskins, since not everyone agrees with what that blackskin has to say. Especially the whiteskins.

Anyway, I'm not big on the political correct thing... but the very people which have "red" skin are telling us it's offensive. Having a blind eye turned to the native minority in our country since, well, since we arrived as immigrants, doesn't make it right; is not a valid argument; is not just.

And it certainly is not respectful of our fellow man.

I've yet to hear a valid argument for this. Just a bunch of entitled assholes with dumb traditions.

as usual, you're not just wrong, you're either stupid, or lying or all of the above. a very quick glance at your comment history shows you not being shy about "name calling" from your very first few posts here on the sift.

your imaginary high horse is as bloated as our military budget.

keep digging yourself a hole though. It's always fun to watch you crash and burn over and over again.
