If we're truly talking about that which is offensive to Native American sensibilities what about "Buffalo Bill"? Here was a man who helped decimate the food supply of Native Americans, allegedly killing over 4000 bison in 18 months to feed Union Pacific railroad workers, which itself helped push the manifest destiny of removing Native Americans from their ancestral lands. Yes, I find Buffalo Bills just as offensive as Redskins. It too needs to be changed!
This is an example of tokenism. Got a problem with players upsetting the customers by taking a knee? No problem, hire JayZ and his crew. It’s so typically corporate, like the “official car” or the official “candy bar” of the NFL, but worst of all, it’s disrespectful to those players and demeaning to their cause.
I noticed Harry Jacobs ( the Baby-Faced Assassin) in the beginning of the video talking to Joe Collier, the Defensive Coordinator, and Paul Costa and Ernie Warlick. FYI, the color analyst for this video, George Ratterman, was the starting QB for the Buffalo Bisons football team, of the All America Conference in the mid to late 1940’s. Thanks for posting. I remember watching this game and becoming a Bills fan that day!
McCargo played on the same defense and lined up right next to Mario Williams. The Bills scouts may have seen something about him on film that they liked while they were looking at Williams.
Van Miller did Niagara games. Charley Bailey did Canisius games. I'll always remember 1970 St. Bona basketball team: Lanier, Gary, Gantt, Satilin, Kalbaugh, Kull, Klimkowski, and the garbageman Johnny Hayes!
