But I am damn sure I am never going to say THEY SHOULD BE HONORED by it. The arrogance and ignorance in that statement is overwhelming. |

That is such a god damn cop out. Sometimes, people want certain things done simply because they're right. Do you think the majority of baseball players, fans, or owners wanted Jackie Robinson to break the color barrier in 1947? Do you think he was welcomed with open arms at every opposing city? No, he was hated, by white folks who felt he was destroying the "tradition" of their pure game. Quote:

I'll end with the fact that I have already stated my opinions on this matter several times in this thread. No point in going around in circles with it. I'll also say that I respect your opinion on this matter as well as the opinions of my fellow boardmembers in this thread. |

That notion is disputed by some Native Americans.

Are you Native American? Do you have some sort of special insight into how people of this group think, act, or feel?

Stunningly according to that section a 2004 poll of 768 Native Americans found that 91% of them found the name "Redskins" acceptable. ![]() They also cite a "near total disconnect" between Native American activists and the general Native American population.
