Native American tribe votes to reject $25,000 offered by Washington Redskins foundation

The Washington Redskins should just go ahead and change their name and avoid all the humiliation. They should just be called the Redskins.

Not this stupid shit again... and hey, they introduced us to tobacco and lung cancer. Let's call it a draw.

how about the Washington skinheads? you think that one would fly

oh would liberals head explode then. we should call and suggest it to them...

How about the Washington Warriors?

You might have pro-peace / anti-war protestors protest that name, but these are mostly peaceful people. No problem. (Except when cameras are on, when only the really violent pacifists get picked to be on the news.)

I wouldn't have offered them shit.

The use of the Redskins logo isn't a racial issue.

If there was a baseball team called the NY N!ggers you might have an arguement, but the use of indians as mascots is to honor the bravery of their warriors.

It makes a reference to their skin color.
Sorry but I would not want a tribute to Asian people
to be called the Yellow Skins.

White Sox, Red Sox, Yellow Sox (yuck!) maybe,
but not references to SKIN COLOR get it?

People were targeted for attack based on SKIN COLOR.
Not the best reference, and if people agree to a name change, why not.

Not a good concession for them? They should have tried colored beads and tobacco. How insulting.
They hated and laughed at them then and they are going to insult'em now.
