The Redskins Commercial the NFL does not want us to see

What? Where in my post did I blame native Americans?

And yeah, seriously, we have bigger issues to fug with than feelings in this country. How about we fix bigger important issues instead of feelings

 

 

nobody said this was our biggest issue in this country but it's fuging ridiculous when people like you act like this issue is somehow detracting from the "real issues" in this country. it's not.  if you don't care, by all means, voice your displeasure over the internet that people do actually care, but don't act like taking action on this issue, making a statement on this issue, is somehow downplaying any other issues the nation faces.

 

edit: well your post was basically "stop fuging around with this and fix our economy."  did you notice who put out the video?  so you're telling this native american action group to fix a problem they have literally nothing to do with, instead of addressing an issue they actually do have something to do with?

I just think its soft dude! Why should we change the name of a historic team? These polititians should do something that fugging matters

 

The team name is racist, that's why.  It has nothing to do with being soft, it's disrespectful and ridiculous.

 

Not sure where politician stuff comes in.  I don't think this add was created by either the Dems nor the Pubs.

Never understood why they don't change it to the "Washington Natives".  I feel like that would be just as honorable to the Native Americans without being completely ignorant in the process.  Plus they could keep the logo relatively intact.

 

Worst part of this argument is when people bring up the blackhawks or braves and ask if I care about those team names.  It is the quickest way to end an intelligent conversation.

The Washington name is offensive and the Cleveland logo is offensive. But those are the only Native American themed teams I think are in dire need of fixing. Also while I don't think it's super offensive I think it's a little odd to name your team after an entire race of people. The Braves is a pretty good name because it's specifically referring to the warriors of a certain culture, no different than naming a team the Knights, Vikings or Samurai.

 

Also since threads always seem to go this way, I'm not trying to claim that people don't have the right to be offended however much they want by whatever they want, but that doesn't mean people who are offended should always get their way.

it really shouldn't matter how many people are offended and if we should let people who are offended get their way. there are certain words that are simply inappropriate for use as a team name, and racial slurs are part of that list.

Didn't studies come out saying 90% of native Americans didn't find it offensive?

I think they were "studies" financed by the team. I can conduct a study to back any narrative I choose. I just want Washington fans to be miserable, is that too much to ask?

    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up. 
    • Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.
