Sarah Palin and Mike Dikta. Perfect. I'd sure want to be on the same side as those two intellectual giants.

Bottom line is whether it is derogatory or not. Some say yes, some say no.

At least the logo is reverent. Not like Chief Wahoo.

Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins.

I am so fucking sick and tired of political correctness.

Political correctness is going to get us all killed. The news won't even call ISIS terrorists.

Black on black crime is the problem. Not white police on black.

Blacks call each other niggers all day but god forbid Paula Deen admits using the N word 20 years ago.

The Political Correctness movement started about twenty years ago with the word "victim".
Victim, Victim, Victim. It was the new buzzword. Suddenly everyone was a victim and no one was responsible for their action. We have spiraled downward since then. People are programming themselves to produce excuses instead of accomplishments. It's the white guys fault, it's the black guys fault. Everybody's to blame except me.

They started giving out Participation ribbons rather than 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons on sports day in school. I knew then, this was idiotic.

A team's nickname is intended to be an honor, not sure how it morphed into an insult

You should go down to the poly forum and join the liberal left wing loons. There are many down there, you would fit right in...they need some help.

I don't care what they do with the name but the fact that you and Ditka seem to agree it shouldn't change...means it probably should.

"morphed" is a good description of this folly.

Next is a cry to change a baseball team name. Cleveland Native Americans.

Tweet from Ruth Buzzi on 6/22/14:

"Washington Redskins are removing that embarrassing, demeaning word from their team name. From now on, they'll just be called The Redskins."

[FONT=&quot]I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the
60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates! [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Milwaukee Brewers. Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As a diehard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers???) [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for the Redskins name I would suggest they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in Congress[/FONT][FONT=&quot].[/FONT]

[h=1]New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren’t offended by Redskins name[/h]

The survey of 504 people across every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the exact same result. Responses to The Post’s questions about the issue were broadly consistent regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations.

As I've said before, modern liberalism has nothing to do with caring about those you claim to care about, and everything to do with getting your rocks off in telling others what to do.
