More on the National Tragedy of the Name Redskins: By George Will

It doesn't matter how many people are offended by it. That's what you idiots are missing.

I'm offended by the name Seahawks (some hawks are endangered) and the 12th Man is sexist.

Should they change it now that I am offended?

God damn...what a bunch of softdick pussies this country has become. Words are like bullets and all that.

Not a surprise but you've missed the point again. The amount of people offended doesn't matter. Not if it's 100% or 0%.

Huh? I think I just made a mockery of your poont. I'm calling the patent office right now. The name "Seahawks" will be no more! I'm the only one who is offended, but you said it doesn't matter if I am the only one. They should change it, right?

I realize that, like most fools, you're so eager to make your own point that you won't stop and think about what the other person has said.

You are illustrating my point. You are showing exactly why people being offended is irrelevant.

The number of people that are offended is irrelevant. That means that if one person is offended it is irrelevant. If everyone is offended it is irrelevant. If no one is offended it is irrelevant. How many people are offended has no part in the equation. That does not mean "if even one person is offended we have to change it". Do. You. Understand. That. ?.

Sounds like you're suggesting there is an objective standard for right and wrong that transcends what anyone of us thinks or doesn't think.

Yes... there is. It's called capitalism. While most here were never alive when it was practiced in the US, it's the concept that consumers of a product determine what is and isn't a viable product by voting with their wallets.

Not sure if you don't understand what DNC and I are discussing or if your moral compass is so fucked that you think right and wrong are determined by dollars and cents.

I know the answer for Damone though.
