JSSkinz Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Please don't get rid of the colors, that will make it feel like a completely different team. Why not stay with a name that supports Native American culture, can we get these tribes involved and let them come up with a suitable name for our team? I like the story behind the redtails but the name is meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of a High School Football team shouldn't be up to 16-18 year old kids that will attend the school for a mere 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're changing Redskins, fine. Change them all then. The Chiefs don’t even depict a Native American in their logo. Chief isn’t a racist term. Sure, you can tell them not to Tomahawk chop or whatever. It’s still not in the same universe as Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's doing something good, and rather than criticize him for doing something good, I think it should be encouraged. I was encouraging him. Encouraging him to do more. I also wouldn't be surprised if his wife was really the driving force behind the charity work. She seems like a nice lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did pull for the Nats in the World Series. that doesn't make any sense. You are a bandwagon fan then. I can use the same reasoning for a cowboys fan after they won 3 ships.

The Seminole tribe draws a lot of water in Florida and have endorsed the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you can tell them not to Tomahawk chop or whatever. It’s still not in the same universe as Redskins. Unless the person you are addressing is actually chief of a tribe or nation, and you are aware of that fact, calling an American Indian “Chief” can be insulting. “When you reference someone who is Indian and use the term ‘Chief,’ out of context, it’s like saying the same thing as referring to a Black person as ‘Hey, Sambo,'” says Waters. https://www.diversityinc.com/things-never-to-say-to-american-indian-coworkers/ Stop referring to people as 'chief.' Calling a Native "chief" is offensive. It's a nickname that reduces us solely to our race. And the fact that it is such an honorable title reserved for leaders of tribes makes it so much worse. https://www.insider.com/native-american-offensive-racist-things-2020-1#stop-referring-to-people-as-chief-3 Chief This is a word that is commonly given as a nickname which incorrectly labels Native American men. The term 'chief' itself is incorrect. American Indian leaders were never 'chiefs', but headmen, or clan mothers, and so on. Not 'chiefs'. Native leaders were highly disrespected by the USA. So calling someone 'Chief', is just a way to continue that disrespect. Trust us when we tell you, being called 'chief' carries with it the same insulting, belittling sting for a Native man as being called 'boy' does for African American men. http://www.nativecircle.com/learning-respect.html Unfortunately, that last one makes the false claim that Redskin = Indian scalp.
