just until you leave ...
and Bob Costas.
from what i've been seeing, it's mexicans who are taking the most offense to the team name. it's like they're conveniently embracing their mestizo side all of a sudden.
smh pathetic losers desperate for a cause
The are you talking about, got? What could you possibly be seeing in Australia that would make you think that ?
I'm late to this party but I just looked at some census numbers and apparently there are only like 2.9 million Native Americans in the US. That's 0.9% of the total population. And that includes Alaskan Natives who don't really count. So the real number is closer to around 0.7%.
So basically there aren't enough of them for any of this to really matter.
Native Americans haven't really mattered since about 1886, tbh.
I bet if you asked 100 people what they think of first when they hear the word "redskins," about 80 of those people would say... the Washington Redskins.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11...kins-trademarkThe U.S. Patent Office has ruled the Washington Redskins nickname is "disparaging of Native Americans'' and that the team's federal trademarks for the name must be canceled. The ruling announced Wednesday comes after a campaign to change the name has gained momentum over the past year.
The decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is similar to one it issued in 1999. That ruling was overturned in 2003 in large part on a technicality because the courts decided that the plaintiffs were too old.
The new case was launched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans. A hearing was held in March 2013.
Just like last time, the Redskins can retain their trademark protection during an appeal.
That RG3 picture makes me think of the Cleveland Browns
Washington Redskins Change Their Name To The D.C. Redskins

WASHINGTON—Following an outpouring of criticism from across the country, the Washington Redskins announced Wednesday that they are officially changing the team’s name to the D.C. Redskins. “We’ve heard the concerns of many people who have been hurt or offended by the team’s previous name, and I’m happy to say we’ve now rectified the situation once and for all,” said franchise owner Dan Snyder, adding that “Washington Redskins” will be replaced with “D.C. Redskins” on all team logos, uniforms, and apparel. “It was a difficult decision—and one that, frankly, I’m a little embarrassed took me so long to make. So hopefully we can now put this issue to bed and start cheering on our D.C. Redskins.” In light of Snyder’s decision, Cleveland Indians owner Larry Dolan told reporters he will change the feather in Chief Wahoo’s headdress from red to a “more appropriate” shade of red.
