cause those people are too drunk to care about it.

Irish lives matter....

What the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral?

Would you be comfortable walking up to someone of native american descent on the street, in this day and age, and saying "what's up you redskin!"

A DC article on the issue from 2016.

I don't understand how it can be disrespectful if your whole point is to get people to cheer for and support your team. This isn't the 'D-league' to a major team called the 'white-men'... It's the team. Hail to the Redskins. Hail victory. Braves on the warpath. Fight for old, DC. You've got rich white men singing that song....

Yes, if you take the term completely out of context and randomly call someone a redskin... it COULD be taken as (or intended to be) offensive, or it simply could be... white skinned man, black skinned man, brown skinned man, red skinned man.

I don't really have a dog in this fight... I couldn't personally care less, even though I grew up with the Redskins and the Senators. If 'they' want to change it, so be it....

I just find it insulting to be insulted by it. If we called them the Washington Women and someone were offended by that, it would be because they found women to be inferior. Those fans seeking to call them "Women' would only do so to imply power and strength.... not weakness.

Meh, it really, really doesn't make any difference to me what they want to be called. I'm forsaking sports of any kind from now on. The stupid bowl will be hard not to watch because as usual I'm probably have some money riding on the outcome. Who knows, it's still a long way to go.
