    Geronimo was also fighting for his homeland.

    Not to mention the meaningless treaties that were never honored.

    I just don't get what idiot gave Bin Laden that code name and why? It was pretty ing stupid. They just associate a guy who is a hero to a lot of native Americans with Bin Laden and I can't figure out why they were so stupid.




    Why do people read so much into this?

    Honestly, I doubt they were very concerned about possible PR. They just needed a recognizable word/name for him.

    Ding ding ding ding ding!

    They probably thought Geronimo was a fictional character.

    I find it very offensive when paratroopers yell "Geronimo!" as they jump out of a plane.

    Oh my god people! Get over yourselves! This is nothing more than political correctness run amok. People get offended over everything now days. It's a code name - I doubt ANY thought was given to it. Let's just concentrate on the fact that the filthy sucker is dead - I could care less what his code name was!

    I think Megatron would've been an acceptable name, except some people might have thought they were hunting down Calvin Johnson.

    Hate to say it, but no one gives a . It was just a codename, and codenames tend to be things that people will be unable to resolve easily based on its mere presence, thus making commonly used words more enticing when choosing them.

    Ten years and we finally get the SOB and people still need something to whine about. Sometimes I just don't get my countrymen, errr, compatriots.

    I think a good code name would've been Dirty Santa.

    yes, those logos/team names are also offensive to a number of Native Americans as well.

    I don't blame them.

    Not fully - but I have Cherokee blood on my father's side. I just think people are way too sensitive and political correctness has gone too far.

    I was just wondering if you had talked to your people face to face, telling them to "get over themselves."

    Having a Scandanavian ancestry, I'm highly offending by the Minnesota Vikings logo and this guy.

    I have to admit when I first heard them say "Geronimo", I immediately thought "WTF?" I thought we regarded this guy as a brave warrior and a hero in America and they are giving a name like that to a piece of cowardly trash?

    If you think about it, Geronimo was fighting against an invasion to his native land and his people while the us military was the aggressor. Which one is closer to the actions of bin laden?

    Some of you guys get so worked up and defensive when the subject of racism is brought up it amazes me that you can call others "too sensitive" with a straight face.
