Well, I'm sorry to patronize if you think that's what I'm doing, but do you think the hypothetical situation I pointed out is congruent? Who was the last Native American NFL team owner? How many Native Americans are there on the Washington Redskins?<br><br>-- Charlie Alpha Roger Yankee Whiskey
Having descended from Ireland, I feel great shame and deep, personal pain whenever I see the Notre Dame fighting Irish. My Granny wasn't a feisty woman at all. Not a mean bone in her body. Yet, there they go! The Fighting Irish, running out of that tunnel .. mocking my grandparents. I mean, the tragedy of it all. Often, I must lay in bed, trying to recover on football Saturdays in the Fall. Sometimes I can barely function. Someone is responsible for my pain! It's OUTRAGEOUS!!<br><br>****************<br>no sig

That's a private Irish Catholic university that chose to parody their own in their mascot. It's a different situation than the mascots we are discussing.<br><br>-- Charlie Alpha Roger Yankee Whiskey
I have a cousin who was injured in the Hurricanes this past fall. It's insensitive for the Miami Hurricanes to continue using their nick-name. Many people were injured and some died. How dare the University of Miami mock their memories! <br><br>****************<br>no sig

No, I don't don't feel you're patronizing me at all. <br><br>What I'm saying is that I'm not offended by a football team using an indian. <br><br>I fail to see anything insulting about it. <br><br>I think that some people have such empty lives that they have no identity and the only meaning they can give to their existance is to bitch and stamp their feet so someone will give them attention. Crazy Eye is a perfect example of this.<br>He crys like an old woman.<br><br>
The last thing I think of when I hear the word: "Redskin" is a Native American Indian. My thoughts are always of the Professional Football team in Washington D.C.<br><br>That said, I truly believe at some point we're going to see the NFL cave on this absurd issue and change the name of the team. Probably to something stupid and "politically correct" like the "Washington Wizards" .. oh ... wait .. the NBA already did that .. <br><br>****************<br>no sig
