New Yorker Rips 'Redskins' Name With New Thanksgiving Cover

[Saigon]

I wonder if posters here would defend the use of a name like 'The Kikes' or 'The Wogs' for a sports team.

I am guessing not.

The key point here seems to be that so many posters have so little respect for Indian people that they really don't care about racism against them.

The New Yorker has weighed in on the Washington Redskins controversy with a poignant new cover for its Dec. 1 issue.

The magazine hit newsstands Monday as much of the country readies itself for Thanksgiving festivities. Its cover depicts jubilant pilgrims dressed in Redskins jerseys -- cheering, drinking beer and smoking cigars -- as their Native American guests look on with what appears to be stoic disapproval.

The cover is a clear comment on the controversy surrounding the NFL team in recent months, with many condemning the term "Redskins" as a racial epithet for Native Americans and calling for the team to change its name.

They should change their name to "The Pansy Ass Wimps."

Because, that's how people name their sports teams. They pick things that they hate and are disrespecting....
