should the NFL's Washington Redskins change their name the
a night a indian nations says yes that is a straight up slur to call
a Native Americans American Indians whatever term
now you we we decide on to refer to them as Redskins
is a slur and that the name should be changed their three news outlets late
the new republican mother jones that announce they will not even be using the
term Redskins to write about
the Washington football team Louis what do you think I think fans would get used
to the name change i think it is
it is factually speaking a slur and it should be changed
well I i understand that a
I know what started as a slur I don't think it carries the same weight that he
used to you
and I'm torn on this because on one hand
the team was named best I because
well kinda guys in as the No Mas is a representation as that I don't know a
gesture
the NES a world *** fearsome warriors I
they're there to be feared there are bear strong powerful and fast in
I don't know that seems like a pretty good name for free yeah I understand
you're playing devil's advocate but let's say it was a difference learned
that wasn't that had that created more overreaction like if it was the Nebraska

I think we would all be saying hey you know that's just kinda what they were
called at the time that the word was in the dictionary at the time
I think we would all agree that it should be changed I believe it should be
changed
it was any other number of slurs there would be absolute agreement about
there's no question about it
I hope they do the right thing and change it had the Washington Bullets
change their name NBA basketball team to the Washington Wizards
because calling themselves the bullets kind of alluded to violence
Redskins is a straight up sailor and I think it should be changed
tell me if you're wrong
