Peter "Norm" King joins the ever growing group refusing to use the foreskins name
If the Redskins changed their name to the Warriors and left everything else the same, would it end the controversy?
Some native Americans would simply prefer not to be used as team mascots in even a benign context considering their history with the European settlers.
PS - Don't go down to the rez and start calling people Chief.
If they changed their name to the Washington Warriors and kept everything else the same, the controversy would absolutely be over. Anyone still complaining wouldn't have any credibility. There's this thing called free speech that nullifies opposition to the use of words used in benign context. Also, don't go down to your local pub and start calling everyone Chief. The End.
Seriously I dont see how Chiefs is so much more acceptable than Redskins. Yes, I agree that Redskins is more offensive but neither is appropriate. That was my original point. I don't see the why the Chiefs get a free pass. That was all. I was surprised by the defense of Chiefs.
From what I've read, many native Americans don't give a shit. It's not a quality of life issue for them.
