I like to pretend I'm outraged about the Redskins changing their name.
If they can do this to the Redskins, they can do it to anyone they disagree with, to anything they deem politically incorrect. Hope that fucking helps.
It's not a matter of mere political correctness. It's a matter of the origin of the word "redskin" is actually far worse than that of "nigger" - but feel free to be an ignorant dick.
Says the guy who calls himself "Blackie." What are you going to do when Harry Reid comes for you because he doesn't like your screen name? It's a gross overreach of government power dumbfuck, and it sets a onerous precedent. They can shut anyone down they don't agree with or who they think is politically incorrect. Like others have said, the Indians don't give a fuck. It's only the squealing liberal gimps in Washington that do. And the only reason they're doing this is to detract attention from their tyranny and incompetence in other areas.
To be clear, Chief, I don't want the government involved in dictating what one can or cannot name their business. I would prefer however for people not to be complete fucking assholes, but rather show some common decency when naming their business and not using terms that clearly celebrate/honor horrifying acts against a group of people.
The Redskins are a business. You support the government coming in and forcing them to change their name. HTH. What happens when they start getting butthurt over the Chicago Bears (because a bear killed a vacationing politician in Alaska) or the Minnesota Vikings. But, but the Vikings were evil! They conquered other countries! We need to force them to change their name too!
The market supports the Redskins being called the Redskins. Otherwise they wouldn't sell tickets. Damone and his libertarian horde should appreciate this logic. If you feel so strongly about it I hope you haven't watched any Redskin games. I'm sure you changed the channel and refused to watch them whenever they played.
Since the Washington politicians forced this, the team should be renamed in their honor. Maybe something like the Washington Corruption, the Washington 84's, the Washington Gerrymanders or the Washington Gimps. I doubt the team in Moscow will think twice about squashing them underfoot.
