lantern53says...I would change the name to the Washington Cavalrymen.

MordhausJust give the upset folks some money, should solve the issue. I mean, they are more than willing to demean and stereotype themselves at Native American owned casinos to make boatloads of cash. Really only seems to be a problem when they don't get a portion of the revenue.

newtboyOdd. Where I live we have many native American casinos. Not one of them has stereotypical 'indians' in head dresses, loin cloths, war paint, and beaded dresses. Except for the totem pole in front and their names, you might think they came direct from Reno. Is it different where you live?
My mom had the best solution to this Redskins issue, just change the mascot to a red potato, problem solved, name remains.

gorillamanWhat no-one seems to realise is 'Native Americans' refers to a fringe group of radical atavists and racialists. Of the descendants of those who survived their natural displacement by a more advanced culture, the overwhelming majority have integrated and interbred with that culture. The only people left who still call themselves 'Native American' are a vanishing minority of ancestor-worshipping crybaby whackjobs.
speechlesssays...I have never more wished that I could downvote a comment. Unfortunately, videosift has insane requirements to fully participate. Can't be bothered. "Natural displacement"? Wow.
newtboyNo.

StormsingerYeah, it's definitely the people bothered by the racist slur that are the "crybaby whackjobs", not those who are crying about changing the name of a fucking sports team. One that has already been changed before, and -never- made the slightest sense in the first place.
