Behold!  The field in which I grow my fucks.  Lay thine eyes upon it and see that it is barren.

I can't believe they might actually go through with this. THat means redskins is not trademarked now, NFL might not fly with a un-trademarked team in the league. Redskins going to change their name?
 
Fuccboys

The only reason I even care about this, the only reason, is all the merchandise I've bought over the years will be obsolete.  I'll have to end up replacing all that shit.
 
I couldn't care less what the name is, as long as they win games.  I also couldn't care less if anyone finds the name offensive.  Everyone can go fuck themselves.  Native Americans, white people, green people, everybody.

The whole Redskins change debate is stupid. If the team wants to be called the Redskins, let them. People are so oversensitive nowadays, it's ridiculous.
 
The thing I don't get is why it's just the Redskins name that people are up in arms about when there are other teams that have nicknames that can be native american like the Chiefs, Indians, Braves and Blackhawks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to throw other team under the bus, I just don't get why Redskins is targeted.

 

[Delirium]

They should change the name to "Washington Rednecks" so they can shift the offense to people that we don't mind being offended.

This is a horrible view. Native Americans made a commercial stating they found it offensive and it needs to be changed. It's astonishing that people hold this view of basically "fuck Native Americans, we don't care what they think. If the football team wants to be called it, let them!"

Native Americans find it offensive, that's enough to warrant change.

Except after all of these years, they are finally finding it offensive?

 

[elcheato]

It doesn't matter when they found it offensive. This country has consistently treated Native Americans like dirt and second class citizens.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Oh please, how long after? Redskins have had their name for how long?

And yeah, let's change the name after all the executions of Native Americans there has been. Let's remember how they were executed too

The Vikings logo is a stereotypical depiction of people of Scandinavian descent. 

All northern Europeans should find the Vikings logo offensive, therefore it must be changed.

Vikings didn't even wear horned helmets!

 

[Teagz]

Did anyone see how the elves feel about the Browns logo?
 
 
DID ANYONE THINK OF THE ELVES?!??!

 

[elcheato]

None of these arguments matter. Seriously, they find the name and logo offensive. The debate ends there. You, white people, are basically saying it doesn't matter what they think, all that matters is the 80 year tradition of a football team, compared to a group of people who have been around for uh, a vastly longer time.

I would like for the Giants to change their name, on behalf of all of the midgets in America.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Seriously, what about the fighting Irish? GODAMNIT , change them all

 

[elcheato]

I guess those work if you want to deflect actual racism and try to make it into a joke

 

[Teagz]

For the record, I don't give a shit either way, but if it's so offensive that you can't even get it trademarked that's probably a sign that it needs to be changed.

 

[elcheato]

Stunning that Native Americans find stuff like this offensive

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Seriously if it's offensive, they better change the giants, chiefs, browns, Blackhawks. How many more?

Change them all.

 

[Teagz]

None of those are actually disparaging though.
