SWFLSkins Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I got into an argument at work during lunch today with a Falcons fan I think a big reason why this hasn't gone away has a lot to do with the laziness of the general populous. People get their opinions from mass media and the end of free thinkers is at hand. Idiocracy is upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSkin Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Chieftains. Not race specific or even nationality specific. Could be a big mish mash of culture-influenced symbolism without specifically being from any one culture. Or, I suppose, we could offend even more cultures. Not sure, but I do want to see a burgundy and gold tartan. Doubt it could fly being so close to the Chiefs but it's a good alternative for them anyway, when this storm blows their way.

Springfield Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'm Hispanic and you've offended me by associating me with one of Cleveland's awful teams. How dare you?! Hit you right where it hurts, huh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 In 1939 Chief Henry Standing Bear wrote a letter to the prolific sculptor Ziolkowski stating, “My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know that the red man has great heroes, too.” I'm Hispanic and you've offended me by associating me with one of Cleveland's awful teams. How dare you?! Now imagine if they only served Hispanic fair, played Hispanic music and dance to Miami sound machine during halftime, now that would be an insult, lol. I would love the beer and food, hot chica's though. Welcome to Calaveras High School! Home of the Redskins http://chs.custudents.net/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planter Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Did we not have the "Braves" name and relinquished for the "Redskins". If so, we traded a Mercedes for a beat up van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 i don't know that analogy.. when i think "Braves" I think Hank Aaron. then i realize he was a long time ago, so i think Ted Turner. And Jane Fonda. And Skip Caray. And Chipper Jones. F the Braves. besides, the offended don't like that one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Yet have not come out in numbers to voice their disdain at all. A few don't speak for many. The unions claim to do just that lol...although anyone who has ever been in a union knows that, while there may be milions of union members, it doesn't mean those millions of people agree with what the union heads decide.

Our first Owner started the team as the Boston Braves and soon after renamed the team the Boston Redskins who played at Fenway Park. Marshall then moved the team to D.C. in 1937.I do not agree with those who oppose any cultural/ethnic sport mascot. Terms like "Braves" , "Vikings", or "Celtics" are tributes. If we can find a more respectful NA name then we get to keep our cool logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The argument is essentially that it is a dated and offensive term. I say this because the Oxford English Dictionary calls it a "dated and offensive term." Definition of redskin in English: redskin Syllabification: red·skin Pronunciation: /ˈredˌskin / noun dated or offensive An American Indian. So where does the oxford dictionary get their information from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can find a more respectful NA name then we get to keep our cool logo. No, we probably don't. The main NA groups leading the movement have said they want the NA theme removed from all sports teams. If we're forced to change the name, it will have to be something they find acceptable, which means no NA theme so no keeping the logo. Our name is plenty respectful, hence the majority of NAs aren't offended by it. There are people offended by Viking and Celtics and the main NA groups against Redskins also are against Braves.
