No excuses: Redskins need a new nickname....

In Dios? Who knew Spainglish started so early!!!

Yeah thats what the Europeans thought it meant at the time. Or did know the correct term and didn't care.

The word Indian is an English bastardization of two Spanish words, En Dio, which correctly translated means in with God.

Two vowels...so close, yet so far apart.

THEY ARE CALLED INDIANS

"American" was a TERM they were GIVEN after the white men showed the f*ck up...

if Anything they should be offended of THAT name, one that has NOTHING to do to with who THEY REALLY ARE.

hmmm... I wonder how many Indians are Redskins fans?

I thought their tribe determined what they were called. Well I always thought thats how they wanted to be addressed.

ofcourse...

i was just pointing out that the term "native american" is not very pc either....

[AKPantherFan]

you know what be cool is if they let them vote on it.

It would then be the people speaking for themselves, and no one could argue the outcome.

doubt it ever happens, but if I was Snyder I would do that before some damn hippie judge does it "just cause"

I have a feeling the "Original people of the Americas" would keep the name.
