It doesn't offend me personally. But native Americans are not Indians. People from India are Indians

It offends him because he is sensitive and too politically correct. When he weeps, his Ovaries hurt.

Who cares? Nobody cared for how many years? "Redskins", "Indians" ....... all this time nobody cared. Even groups of folks were happy to be recognized at all.

Just something sensational for the "political correctness police" to bitch about all of a sudden!

Hey reminds me. Animals have rights too, you know. Any team called the Tigers, Bulldogs, Horned Frogs (I love that one…. sorry to see it go!), or whatever. Get ready to change your names. Animals are offended in every zoo, outback, and household in the world even as we speak!

As I said the other day…… just have to start calling everything by a letter and number code system.

NCAA Team #A26 vs. NCAA Team #D15

May as well change the name of the city to D15 so we will know where the game is located?

Makes about as much sense as the rest of this horseshit!

For nears "nobody cared" that we called black people "n!@@#&$"....does that mean it was wrong to try and be politically correct.

im not trying to be a dick but I dont mind fixing something when it comes to racism...even though it has been tolerated for many years.

if the "indians" are just out for the money in lawsuits and dont even care then I shake my head at them but im more about the long term greater good.

Hey shdw01,

Not saying this has been correct, proper, or whatever. Just saying it's a big assed deal all of a sudden!

Please don't overlook the BOLD portion (somewhat(?) light heartedly). Could happen!

Only people who will get fat off any of this are the attorneys. LIKE MOST EVERYTHING THESE DAYS!
