The Washington Commanders are being sued by The Native American Guardians Association, which has been trying to get the Commanders to change the name back to Redskins.
The lawsuit states: “The logo on the Redskin’s helmet is an actual person, it’s Chief White Calf. Every time they go out on that field, they were honoring Chief White Calf and they were battling on the football field with the same honor and integrity and courage. They should continue to honor that.”
There's a pretty funny article from the Post back in August. Check it out:

Look at the Land O' Lakes logo. Got rid of the Indian, kept the land.
ReplyDeleteSpat on a very successful black female (assuming!) entrepreneur, too. But the theatrics are the goal, not anything meaningful.
DeleteFunny this never came up when people had their hair on fire to change the name from "Redskins' to "Commanders".
ReplyDeleteIt actually did. The history of the image and name was very briefly looked at by some people with sense, pointing out the American Indian contributions and influence in it all. BUT, who cares! Assuaging white self-hatred and touting faux virtue are more important than some collection of savages, right?
DeleteI think all professional sports teams should be named after native American tribes.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the Minnesota Vikings. Their's should be changed to the "Minnesota Little Mermaids", in keeping with their Scandinavian heritage.
DeleteObviously those Native Americans don't know what to think. The rich white liberals know better. The Natives should listen to their betters.
ReplyDeletePut a vote to the American Indian "nations" to see what they think....then go with that result...."The Washington I don't Give A Fucks"should get equal validation....
