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

"In 1758, Carolus Linnaeus proposed what he considered to be natural taxonomic categories of the human species. He distinguished between Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens europaeus, and he later added four geographical subdivisions of humans: white Europeans, red Americans, yellow Asians and black Africans. Although Linnaeus intended them as objective classifications, he used both taxonomical and cultural data in his subdivision descriptions."

One is embraced, two are rejected, one is accepted, none are accurate. To declare any derogatory is derogatory.

I don't see how anyone can find Chiefs derogatory. Braves either. Redskins...I can easily see how that is derogatory.

You might not but others have. PC madness continues.

Washington Fillibusters!

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

Washington Bravehearts...book it

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.

Since it appears Dan Snyder is going to have to change the name, he ought get some "fun" out of it. How about naming the team "The Cavalry". Now there's some irony to would appreciate.

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.
