With there record it has to be an insult to larger people everywhere to be associated with such a name.
Where's PSU, he could "head" this up.
While we're at it, Cowboys have been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Native Americans and cattle, so they should go to. Perhaps the Dallas Stable Boys. Only the Eagles shall remain unaltered, for eagles represent our nation's birds with dignity.

Absolutely not. People were legitimately and intimately effected in that circumstance. Having separate campuses for different races is ludicrous and not the same as the name of a team. People's feelings may be hurt by the name "Redskins" but it doesn't effect their lives. Slag makes a fantastic illustration of why the name is offensive and should be changed...I'm not arguing it. I just think there are bigger issues. I'm fine with people protesting it...Not fine with politicians spending time trying to get rid of it.

Then they dropped it in the free mail.
PC drives you crazy because you don't like imaginary people telling you what to do/not do.
Its just human nature.
But if the owner of this board politely asked you not to use the R word here anymore, you'd acquiesce in a nano-second and never give it a 2nd thought
The difference is your feelings about some straw-man evil PC group that doesn't even really exist.
Cultures evolve; slower in some quarters than others

Then you are back to being in charge of what goes down your throat
Its not that difficult and my guess is you'll find life a lot more pleasant
The reason "they" rile you up is because that's their job.
Your job is to decide if you'll allow them to continue or not
Good luck

Walking up to someone and announcing their race seems kind of weird.

If the argument is that Redskin is not offensive then why not? But I see your point. Would you describe a native american co-worker as a Redskin?
You- Hey did Jim bring you the TPS report?
Random coworker- Who is Jim?
You- Jim...the redskin who works in IT.500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

Seminole, Sioux are tribes. There is not a Redskin tribe.500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy.
