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

[douglas]

The Cajuns will be fine, we have the one moniker x factor, a large sum of our fans, alumni, boosters, faculty, administrators and players are in fact genuine ragin cajuns. Charlton Heston is gunna take notes on our rendition of "cold dead hands"

I'm a huge Redskins fan for the past 45 years (that is where I'm from). Anyone that would use logic would know that Redskins could not have been a derogatory term when they were named such. Who in their right mind would name their own team a demeaning name, who would right a song "Hail to the Redskins" if they hated indians and thought the name was racist. Our politically correct, but upside down government cultivates these groups to fabricate something that offends them so they have a reason to live. Pathetic people with nothing better to do.....and that goes for the LaMorons and the LSU A&M at Baton Rouge babies. "If you mind your own business, then you won't be mindin' mine"..... GEAUX LOUISIANA RAGIN CAJUNS!!!

It's a big picture societal money problem.

[CajunRed]

Not when there is money to be made...you are missing the big picture.

What I mean is that there are some in society attempting to be more socially acceptable. They're trying to come off as better than the rest of us...more correct...more politically correct. And all of a sudden, names that were originally taken out of pride...and meant to honor...are being attacked and their meaning twisted to make some look better than others.

It's sad...and it's out of hand.

I agree...the only problem is...each time they go there...money is always behind it. No one does anything these days without the promise of coin. Whoever is challenging this Redskins nickname is looking to make this into a career. Think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

At the time the name was chosen it wouldn't have been considered racist but today it is. Many things 60 years ago were accepted and fine yet today we know better. Why not just call them the Washington Braves, Warriors etc.... Redskin is a racist term pure and simple. We need to do away with the term Indian. It's a 500 year old mistake. Columbus thought he was in India thus he called the natives Indians. The witch hunt over Native American names in the late 90's was stupid. I had always wondered why the Redskins were made of teflon. All of the Native American named teams were to pay honor to those tribes. Not sure why ASU and ULM caved so easily unless they wanted to get rid of a name that didn't make any sense unless they were talking about those Indians in New Delhi.

My last few years in Lafayette, a group of African Americans were making a big deal over the use of Cajun claiming it didn't represent the community. Do Tigers represent the people in Louisiana? LSU doesn't have any Tigers on the team.

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

Bravo Sir.

Awesome movie reference.

I tip my hat.

So the moral of this story is...stick to anthropomorphic mascots that are animals doing human stuffs? Uncanny valley...we are home now.
