The Washington Redskins

Should the Redskins change their name?

  1. 1. Should the Redskins change their name, or is that just a bit too progressive?

I’m in favor of changing the name because it’s a racial slur.

Changing names like the Aztecs or Chippewas would be stupid.

Tell that to the Boise High School Braves who recently dropped the s because woke progressive parents descended on the school. Is Braves a racial slur?

No but the history behind the redskins name is. Maybe  change it to pale faces.

If any reference to Indians can create a mascot name change of Braves in Boise, it can happen anywhere including Aztecs, Seminoles, Chippewas, etc. How does Hawaii get away with Rainbow Warriors? Why should the caricature of a school mascot be named after indigenous natives? 

Whats interesting is Leighton Vander Esch’s high school in Riggins is called the Savages and Riggins is very close to the Nez Perce reservation.

Seminoles won't happen. The school has a great relationship with the tribe. Same with the Utes.

Scream for a name change. Get the name change. Scream about name change before even knowing what it is.

Apologizing for the mascot, I get and agree with. But as far as consulting goes, consult who? Which tribe? All of them? What, hold a binding referendum where every indigenous person votes? Who decides what gets on the ballot? Ok so don’t do that, then what? Just talk to a few leaders of activist groups? Well who gave them the mandate to speak for every indigenous person? 
 

Just call them the squirrels or some other generic shit and call it a day.

Yep, agreed. I mean, the goal was achieved. Just take the win and STFU.

I've always thought the mascots were a bit of a compliment.  You know, teams adopting "Indians" because they're brave fighters and whatnot.  If a team wants to be adopt the "Fighting VP97's" as their mascot, I would be all-in on that shit.

Despite having a good current relationship with the Ute tribe, I'm convinced Utah will eventually give up the Utes nickname. I've come to expect it and accept that it will happen.  Considering I'm a white guy and have no business deciding what's offensive to Native American culture, I'm not opposed 

We've already changed the nickname once back in the 70's from the Runnin Redskins.

The Seminole name will not be changed because it has the support of the Seminole tribes in Florida and Oklahoma.

@Jeffkills Dude, your poll question is actually 2 questions that conflict with each other. 
Should the Redskins change their name? No
Is it too progressive to change the name? Yes

I would assume most people are responding to the first question, but does look like some people voted on the second question. It’s a badly worded poll question that could result in bad votes.
