endzone_dave Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 My high school's nickname was the Indians. They changed it to something else. I'm not sure if they were pressured to or if they just wanted to be PC. How can someone be offended by that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 J33 Well remember, if you do get involved(and I sometimes do get involved in conversations I wasn't in--why let BS stand?) bring up the fact that Redskin as initially used was about red paint used by some NE tribe to cover almost every aspect of their body and hair. That's where the term came from--it has nothing to do with Indians looking "red." Would a team name itself after something it disrespects? In fact, not sure where anyone gets "red" from except that the name was applied to Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
