Someone in the new dungeon said they should replace the mascot logo with a red potato and leave the name alone. I thought that was brilliant and better than my suggestion of naming them the Washington Two Dogs. If you remember the joke you'll get the name.
Crazy! I’m literally talking right now with an old friend from my teenage years that moved to the Navajo reservation in NM about this. He is a huge redskins fan and he and his adoptive Navajo family are a bit pissed about this as they are all big fans.
The young Indian boy had spent most of his life in a quandry. .. He felt different yet. .. couldn't figure why. .. he was just so depressed. He went to the Chief for answers. .. He asked the chief how his brother Red Deer Running had gotten his name. .. The chief answered in his typically poetic way. .."When Red Deer Running was born, at the moment of his birth, the first thing his mother saw was a beautiful deer running off into the forest. .. and so Running Deer was named. It is the custom of our tribe to name the offspring according to the spirits in nature visiting upon the birth."Then, the boy said to the Chief. .. And how did my sister "Thundering Bird" get her name? The chief described again, how at the moment of her birth Thundering Bird's mother had heard a roar of thunder and looking up, saw a bird flying in the sky. .. The boy asked again, how his cousin "White Crouching Bear" had been given such a name. .. And the chief, looking down once more at the boy, explaining the traditions of their tribe. .. . White Bear's mother had seen a rare white bear crouched over a stream at the moment her baby's birth. Then he asked the boy. .."Why do you ask, Two Dogs Fucking?"
My girlfriend's great grandmother was shipped off to an Indian school, beaten if she spoke her native language and forced to learn English, forced to cut off her hair, had her skin scrubbed with bleach to make her whiter, and was forced to marry a white man who paid the fee. So maybe it's not a laughing matter to everybody.
I guess your girlfriend is offend? Cry me a river. Both of my grandparents were WW2 survivors and Poland was wiped off the map in the early 1900's. 6 million killed in WW2. You know what that means for me? Absolutely jack shit, nobody owes me anything, its long gone history. Go fuck a train with your bullshit.
Didn't say that. Don't editorialize. I'm pointing out there's still some background to what's happening even if you're completely oblivious and unsympathetic to history. Feel free to eat a few (more) dicks yourself.
Except they were named the Redskins as a way to pay homage to Native Americans, particularly the 4 players and coach of the team at the time that were Native Americans. Not to mention, a Native American designed their logo. So maybe if people weren't actively looking for a reason to get offended and victimize themselves at every possible avenue, then not only would there not be a problem, they may actually take some pride in the team name. But frankly, I've not actually seen any Native Americans actually be pissy about the name either, just a bunch of Karens and beta males so there's that.
I think all the sports teams should be forced to name their teams based on their surroundings. So like the Washington Old White Lying Thieving Crooks Baltimore Shooting Wheelie Boys Chicago Murder Cities Green Bay Crackers and Cheese Dontcha Know's San Francisco Billionaires and Homeless Crapping in the Street And so on.
Don't bring facts into this. We're trying to be WOKE here. Part of being sympathetic to history is not erasing the truth it from the history books. Which is exactly the opposite of what's going on in the current climate because feelings. “Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.”
I think that they should change the name to the Potomac River Redskins, or the Maryland Redskins, or the Chesapeake Redskins... If they're trying to get rid of the offensive part of the moniker that is...
Football.... That's the checkered round ball one with huge nets on each of the field, right?... I'm trying to be cognitive here, help me out.
