Why yall keep letting Collector kick this stupid *** logic over and over?
What's stupid about it? I'm giving you a legit history lesson about one of the leagues team names and where it come from. Explain to me how that's any different then bringing up Washingtons team name? It's not cool to name your team a racist name but it's ok if you name your team after a group of racist killers? That's flawed logic.
Type in 49ers Native Americans on Google and read up. Then tell me if "my logic" is flawed.

You obviously don't have a firm grasp on the history, you're not kicking knowledge. You don't even really know what a 49er is.
But the logic on display is simply remedial. It would be funny if it weren't so ******* stupid.

The miners during the gold rush were called 49ers. Hence the name of the damn team and the gold color of the helmets. Not to mention the gold rush took place in California. The only reason it's been brought to my attention is because of Kaeps protest and people throughout social media talking about it. You must be trolling right now. The 49ers first season was played in 46. The leagues merged in 49 but the team was established in 46. The merger isn't where the name comes from.
The original 49ers logo was a mustached 49er gold miner from the 1849 California Gold Rush, dressed in plaid pants and a red shirt, jumping in midair with his hat falling off, and firing pistols in each hand: one nearly shooting his foot, and the other pistol forming the word "Forty-Niners" from its smoke. An alternate logo with a shield-shaped crest formed from the number "49", with a football in the upper right quadrant and "SF" in the lower left quadrant was created in 1965 and used for marketing purposes until 1972. From 1962, the 49ers' logo has been the iconic "SF" within the center of a red oval; throughout the years the logo has had minor modifications, such as a black outlining on the intertwined "SF" that was added in 1989 and a gold trimming inside the oval that was added in 1996.
Now explain to me what you think a 49er is since I clearly don't know. I'll wait...

In reference to California gold rush history, a 49er is a blanket term for anyone who travelled to the state seeking gold. Or in the case of Native Americans and a few thousand settlers, people who were already here.
Yes Native Americans were 49ers too. As were many Latin American and Chinese gold seekers. It's a massive group of people only tied together by a common quest for gold.
Thats why your representation of 49ers being a specific group of racist miners murdering Native Americans is so confusing.
You understand why your defense of your clown *** team name is ******* stupid yet?

it's not confusing. I pray I find this 49er pick floating on IG with 49ers advertising Natives heads on sticks. Not even sure the picture is safe to post on NT due to the graphic nature. Just Google 49ers Native Americans and read. It's that simple.There are Native Americans who aren't offended by Washingtons team name. That doesn't mean it's any less offensive. Same could be said about the African Americans who wave the confederate flag in the south. Doesn't mean it's cool. So if some Native Americans did participate in the gold rush it doesn't mean the miners are absolved from the 100,000 that lost there lives during that period. Some people have a legit self hate issue. Like the Hispanics that will vote for Trump.

You still don't get it. I don't know if you're trying to be obtuse or what.

Get what? Here is the first thing I found through Google.
methods of transportation developed as steamships came into regular service. By 1869 railroads were built across the country from California to the eastern United States. Agriculture and ranching expanded throughout the state to meet the needs of the settlers. At the beginning of the Gold Rush, there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields and a system of "staking claims" was developed. The Gold Rush also had negative effects: Native Americans were attacked and pushed off their lands and the mining has caused environmental harm. An estimated 100,000 California Indians died between 1848 and 1868 as a result of American immigration.
What part of "attacked and pushed off their land" doesn't make sense or 100,000 dying because of the 49ers regardless of where they were from? Maybe racist was a bad choice of words on my part. However due to the gold thirst of those miners many Natives suffered.

No one's denying that terrible disgusting things have been done to this country's indigenous population.
You're still presenting a logical argument that would make a four year old look bad.

How? I seriously don't understand why you believe Natives being attacked, drove off land and the death of 100,000 as a result of the gold rush is team name worthy. Explain to me why the 49ers isn't a bad name considering the impact it had on the Natives that lived through it? If you can do that I'll tell you your right and drop it. What's positive about the 49ers in your opinion?

I care because it seems many in this thread along with NT management cares enough to remind me Washingtons team name is racist every so often and enough so to ban the name. If we're gonna keep it 1K then let's keep it 1K all the way. If not miss me with Washingtons team name is racist from now on. We know and we get it.

I just noticed
northoaklandfc
said "my defense of my teams name". Ha ha ha
I've BEEN on record from jump that my teams name is racist. My slander of the 49ers name isn't a defense of my teams name. It's highlighting another bad team name. What a STRETCH on your part. Anyone in the NFL thread from last year can vouch for this. If not go through my post history and show me where I've ever defended Washingtons team name. I challenge anyone to tell me what's positive about the 49ers name knowing the history behind it.

I think you are joking, but I will assume you are serious.
******** = racial slur
49ers ≠racial slur
