Redskins Football Will Soon Be No More ... Cajuns listed

Washington Fillibusters!

Washington Lobbist…, but I do like filibusters, only the Lobbist really cuts both ways.

I saw where a friend of Snyder's bought/copyrighted some stuff with that name. If it were my franchise, I'd rename them the Washington Warriors. That, to me, is the best balance of changing the name to something that doesn't offend anybody, while still keeping their roots and name involved with the original Native American culture.

And then when the Saints play them we would all be "Warriors come out to play"

Amazingly it is not the "Cajuns" who are upset about Ragin'Cajuns. It was a black activist, term used with scram. He felt since a lot of the young men players were black or non Cajun we should drop it. What a doofus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMO the guy had a totally different agenda than the one he professed.

When I was in school a young lady wrote an editorial or letter to the editor or some such to the Vermillion where she stated she was offended by the Ragin part because it looked like a derogatory name spelled backwards. I ____ you not.

Funny Snyder went from no way to a possible change after a meeting with dear leader. Can you say NSA tapes?

I agree completely with you. Redskins is racist. How would African Americans like the Harlem Blackskins? Chiefs, warriors and Braves are not and pay tribute to Native Americans. Also naming a particular tribe is an honor. As half Irish and half Cuban, I have no problem with the fighting Irish.

Wowed on two fronts. One, I would never have thought of that had you not just pointed it out to me. Two, why people feel the need to go on fishing expeditions in order to find controversy?

I just don't see why this is suddenly, after all these years such a problem other than we have become a hyper-sensitive society. Redskins as applied to the team is meant as a point of pride by the team and fans. And I don't see how Chiefs, Braves, etc as a mascot is any more or less "demeaning". Finally, just as with moanroe's attempts to stop our use of Louisiana, how will the end of the use of Redskins by thus team better the plight of American Indians? Will living conditions on reservations improve? Will the high rate of alcoholism among Indians on reservations go down? Will the literacy rate increase? It just seams that there are a lot of much more serious issues facing American Indians.
