              Well if they are going to start with the Redskins, then they need to change the Cowboys name as well. Wasn't the Cowboys the mass murderers of the natives of America ?

                    Our culture isn't a fashion statement, I do not wish to waste my time arguing with people too ignorant to understand that. You should be ashamed @khloekardashian," commenter ncholewa11 lamented.

                    "Headdresses and teepees should not be used as party decorations in the first place!" Instagram user Amanda Baldwin argued. "Those of us who disagree with this photo are tired of seeing headdresses, signs of honor and respect in our history and culture, being used as a 'fashion' accessory!"

                    Commentor luv_latisia noted not only Khloe's headdress, but also her pose. "She is COMPLETELY disrespecting our culture by sitting there in a meditation pose... What Native American tribe is known to meditate? And since when did honoring become imitatin

                          I've even heard from a few Christians that were opposed to NJ using the word Devils as the team nickname. This could go on forever...

                            You've already made your weak argument about Vikings - an actual historical group of people who actually have likely been described unfairly other groups of people - namely non-Scandinavian Christians who've written most of the popular "history".

                            But what ethnic group or race does Raider allude to? It's a general term for someone who raids - raids the corporation, raids the village, raids the fridge, etc. It has nothing inherently to do with an ethnic group or race.

                            You continue to miss the point.

                            Redskins is a specifically racial term defining a group of people by skin color and it has a history of derogatory use. There is really no other analog in American sports. Some use imagery that usurps that of indigenous peoples which can be argued as ethically questionable as nearly everything else has already been usurped - and in many cases commercialized.

                            But only one team specifically uses a racial term/slur as their name. And that team has the name of the capital of this nation in front of it to boot.

                              This thread is useful if for no other reason than to clearly identify the mouth breathers.
