Are not offended by the name of the Washington football team

Almost 80% call the issue dumb

Eh, it shouldn't be a pro sport team's name no matter how many or how little people don't like it. We started to get rid of confederate flags, start getting rid of stupid names like this one. Let Bomanji Jones wear another "caucasians" shirt and then people will be vocal about skin color being a team name.
 
Here's the source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...a11cfa-161a-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html

This is a moot point. If thousands of people are offended they deserve support and to be heard oujt. Just because X% are indifferent or don't feel passionately about it or are too ignorant to know their culture is being mocked, doesn't make others feelings less valid.

Wrong is wrong.

I can't even cheer on my home cities baseball team because of that racist *** Chief Wahoo.

If 90% of black people stopped caring if white people said ******* or called a sports team the Nashville *******, would we then disregard the 10% that feel something is wrong?

wrong is wrong.

Look up the research done by Miami University.


Regardless it's an offensive term and if the entity receives any public money it should be changed. Private entity, completely their choice
 
The desire to defend the name is what insults me.


If you like the name and want to keep it, I get it, you grew up with the team, I'm sure you associate with love.





but not hit me with these intellectually bankrupt arguments. "we're honoring him" foh. :lol:
 
If you're white in America, while of course you're neither directly or indirectly responsible, you still inherently belong to a group that perpetuated the worse genocide the world has ever seen, effectively eliminating entire ethnic groups from the face of the planet.

You should be ******* embarrassed presenting these "statistics" in defense of one of our societies most blatant displays of racism aimed towards said group of people.

Yall tend to do much better arguing for, and defending racism of the concealed variety. This is a poor effort.

If they want the name so bad just change the mascot. Then it becomes the Reds but what kind of reds ? A potato, strawberry? just drop the Indian affiliation if it means so much to them. Granted people would still hear ******* and think Indians, but its better than nothing I suppose if they're so determined to keep it

Hate the Cleveland Indian name/Logo more but I would be pissed as a native American. Wonder is they just surveyed ******* fans that happen to be Native Americans.

The Post polled 504 people who identify primarily as Native American from across the country, including those who lived on reservations and those who were not part of a tribe.

You don't need polls to tell you to just get rid of the stupid name. It's 2016, everyone (including fans) should know a slur and the skin color of a group of people shouldn't be the official team name of anything.
 
504 is still not a big number. They make it seems as if the Native American community as a whole has their blessings.

Half of them are probably Inuit and don't know jack**** about Baseball and the other half are ******** fans that moved elsewhere.

Being realistic. I can't see Snyder changing the name unless there was significant financial incentive for him to do so.

Q: Can a sample of 500 Native Americans be projected to the entire population?

Local Headlines newsletter

Daily headlines about the Washington region.

Surveys of this size can produce accurate estimates of any size population by employing “probability sampling,” where every member of the population has a known and equal chance of being selected. Such surveys are used to measure consumer confidence, the unemployment rate, political attitudes and health. The Post’s survey of 504 Native Americans has a margin of sampling error of 5.5 percentage points, meaning that if the same survey were repeated 100 times, in 95 cases the results would not be expected to differ by more than 5.5 percentage points. Surveys can have other sources of error and variation which are more difficult to quantify, including measurement error and non-response error and the fact that about 5 percent of Native Americans are unreachable by either cellular or landline phone. Statistical weighting to Census Bureau benchmarks helps correct for some of these issues.

This was a good read overall and frankly, I'm surprised that the WaPo published the survey restults to begin with.

How The Washington Post conducted the survey on the ********’ name

I just think the poll results are irrelevant. When you have a group of people who have been eradicated from the country, financially in shambles, and laden with alcohol and gambling additions, of course they don't give a **** about a football team name. That still doesn't make it ok.

Which is a good point. There are bigger issues that they're dealing with on a day-to-day basis.
