IDK how Native Americans feel about the Redskins in particular but the Seminole tribe is proud that Florida State reps for them. I think its a compliment.

It's not unique to Native Americans. Look at Notre Dame. First, the logo is a caricaturization of the Irish; just like the Skins. Second, it plays of the stereotype of the Irish getting in fights all the time. The may as well put a bottle of whiskey in his hand with him planting a fucking car bomb with all the offensive shit surrounding their name and mascot.

When teams get named after groups of people it's because of their fighting spirit; it's not to be taken as an insult. Redskins, Indians, Braves, Chiefs, Vikings, Patriots, Blue Jackets, Raiders, Bucs, the Fighting Irish....it's all the same man.

Redskins = Nigger

Stop comparing a derogatory ethnic slur to Irish...the widely accepted word to represent Irish people...BY IRISH PEOPLE.

The "Fighting" Irish; depicted by a god damn fucking leprechaun with his sleeves rolled up in an old timey boxing stance? How is that shit not equally as offensive as say, a Cleveland Indians logo? And redskin absolutely does not equal n****r. Shit, Red Mesa High School is on a res in Arizona with 100 % Native population and they call themselves the Redskins. How many MLK HS N*****s are out there? My point exactly.

I am from DC and I am part Blackfoot. I find it funny that the white man would name a team after what he found terrifying and complex. In some ways I am able to see the compliment but at the same time the word is out and the times have changed. If they changed the name Football would still be just as popular here in DC. But I would suck because there would be no more Roach(Cowboys) and (Indian)Redskins Games.

Maybe we could be the Washington Red Tape. I think that would represent The Hill to the fullest

Nah, bruh. I have N.A. in my blood and grew up in a area of the country where N.A's actually still exist -- and "Redskin" is not "n!gger" to them. Calling them "engines" is the equivalent of n!gger.

And I agree that names like "Celtics" and "Patriots" is no different. The last N.A. I saw on the news complaining about the Redskins didn't have a problem with the name as a derogatory remark, his problem is that he felt N.A.'s were being treated like "animals" or "mascots" instead of being respected as a proud culture. The lady on CNN even sonned him by mentioning teams like the Celtics and fighting Irish and even the Oklahoma Sooners (which are white settlers).

He was saying that it's no different than having a team called the "Minnesota Mandigos" or "Baltimore Blacks" or some sh!t. But that's no different than teams like San Diego State Aztecs (mexican warriors)

...and yeah, SMH @ this NOT being a Redskin roast thread.

*Dela-Reese voice*

"Got my mouth all ready to roast the Redskins and this is what I get??!"

Doesn't some sort of Native American group protest the name every year?? Or file a lawsuit of some sort??

Honestly, as long as the name exists, I see no reason to fine anybody in the league for saying anything derogatory.

Yeah, and don't forget that every ethnicity/culture has a "Al Sharpton" that dwells on bullshit while real issues get over-looked.

Blacks have niggas like Sharpton.

Mexicans have La Raza.

Jews have the Anti-defamation league.

And even Whites have'em too....

They're called the Republican party.
