Poleshifter Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think they should keep the name Redskins, but change the logo to a Virginia Redskin Peanut. Then they might only insult those who farm the other kinds of peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The term "Redskins" isn't offensive to a large enough minority group for them to change it. If it was a derogatory term towards black people, sure, they'd be forced to change it. But since there isn't a huge population of Native Americans, and most Americans don't even know any personally, they just ignore it. Snyder just needs to change the name to something more contemporary-racist than what it is now lol Also, I like the name Redhawks. That's a pretty sweet name. 8 hours ago, Boyst62 said: If you're offended by the word Redskins you're probably a little kitten. Grow up, man up. C'mon... Is it really so hard to understand how that term could be considered derogatory to a group of people if you are part of that group? I mean it's a no-brainer to me. Could I make a team called the "Brooklyn Darkies" or "San Francisco Yellowskins?" Definitely not. It's just that most of us in this country don't really pay attention to Native Americans in general enough to care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
