They're right to do it! I'm offended by anything that reminds me that Native Americans still exist!

/sarcasm

This news story alone might actually make me root for the 'Skins in the post-season.

Maybe they could just change the name whichever tribe was located in the region. Redskin is considered by Native Americans to be same as the N word to blacks. That way they keep the same logo and Native Americans would be a bit less touchy on the subject.

Either that or name the next NFL team the Palefaces.

Somehow, I wouldn't mind a NFL team called the Palefaces. For the record, and lest general Jack suggests it: "Honky" doesn't bother me either (and yes, I qualify as both).

No no no, using a local tribename wouldn't help at all.

Look at University of Illinois (Illini). They use a local tribe, and people far and wide still get their panties in a ruffle.

The thing that truly bugs me about that is that they think they're doing something so wonderful for the Native Americans by protesting. I always tell them, "Look, you really care about them? Then help in a way that matters. Most reservations suffer from utter poverty, high unemployment, and rampant alcoholism. Give them real help and don't just assuage your liberal guilt."

Somehow, the point never makes it across.

In the major league, it's hard to change a long-standing name. Otherwise, there's plenty of name-calling moonbattery to go around. In Erie, CO, A few miles from where I live, there was a group of Indian students that were offended by their high-school mascot being the Reds, with a cartoonish caracature of an Indian. So they formed an intramural team, called themselves the Fighting Whities, and had tee-shirts made up with a caracature of a caucasian businessman.

And for a rodent, Oregon State University has the OSU Beavers, and their local High school team is the Ducks. Beaver is about as close to Pussy as you can get.

In the Lafayette, where I live, the high school seems to have changed it's mascot from the Trojans, from when I was in high school, and would chant "Break the Trojans" about the opposing team. They're now the Centaurs.

I would agree with the MaryHunter. But the Inuits might be a bit strange as a team name. I wouldn't mind if somebody made a caracature of me. I'm already one anyway.

Uh-oh...it looks like indictments have been served to numerous key Bush Administration officials at the White House!

But it turns out they're just "people's indictments" crayoned up by a bunch of moonbats.

(What's the deal with Janis Karpinski hanging around with this crowd?)

We went through all this in Florida with the Seminoles. Perhaps someone can start a team called the UNF Crackers, or something.

Perhaps they should have used the PC name for the Redskins:

"Potomac River Drainage Basin Indigenous Persons"
