Statboy:
lonesome, did you see that Virginia race that is still close, where the republican got the Redskins fans to vote for him en masse to not change the redskins team name. If he wins it'll be because of Redskins fans
Nov 5, 2014 at 11:15 AM -
lonesome killer: No I didn't see that

Nov 5, 2014 at 11:43 AM -
lonesome killer: That whole debate on the name is ridiculous in my opinion
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:26 PM -
Reechard:
yeah, they should change it.
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:26 PM -
Reechard:
because it's offensive.
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:39 PM -
lonesome killer: if we can celebrate Columbus Day for him discovering America when he wasn't the 1st and he didn't even know it was America, then what's the big deal about the Redskins name?
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:39 PM -
lonesome killer: 1st world problems
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:40 PM -
lonesome killer: If someone doesn't like the Redskins name, then they don't have to buy tickets for their games
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:41 PM -
VaultBot: besides, i mostly just use my phone at work at 6:30am
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:41 PM -
English:
Look if the owners of the Redskins feel it is more advantageous for them to change their name because of social pressure , great.
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:41 PM -
English:
But the government should not get involved just on the sole basis that it is offensive
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:41 PM -
lonesome killer: Do you change the name's of pornographic DVD's because they're offensive?
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:42 PM -
English:
If it was best for my business I would
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:42 PM -
lonesome killer: but the govt has no right to force you to change it
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:42 PM -
English:
yes
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:42 PM -
English:
that is my stance
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:43 PM -
lonesome killer: I heard someone suggest changing the name to "Washington Natives"

Offensive speech =/= Hate Speech
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:43 PM -
lonesome killer: In the end I could give 0 shits less cuz I don't watch football, but it's disgusting to see people so offended over a name when there are children starving to death around the world
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:44 PM -
lonesome killer: They should put their energy into helping starving American families
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:44 PM -
English:
Hey if people wanna be offended, more power to them. If they want to exert social pressure to get the organization to change. Fantastic
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:44 PM -
English:
But don't demand the government to intervene because you are offended
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:47 PM -
lonesome killer: IT's good to see the legal system at work. The team's lawyer is currently suing the Native Americans who filed the offensive name claim against the team
Nov 5, 2014 at 2:48 PM -
lonesome killer: The court system will work it out

I disagree with the government forcing someone create something against their beliefs.

As long as they are being commissioned to create something new and not refusing to sell something already created

Just because the government fucked up in one case does not mean they should do it again

We should not be using the force of law to go after people who are offensive
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:04 PM -
English:
The SCOTUS allowed the neo-nazi group to hold a rally in the city of Skoki (outside of Chicago and also a huge Jewish population) and protected it as Free Speech. Do I find it offensive? Absolutely! I also feel that they should be able to exercise their first amendment rights in a peaceful manner (which they did)
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:09 PM -
English:
Eh rereading the case overview they did end up blocking it only because they wanted to wear nazi uniforms and the holding was that they had to put in place very strict precedural guidelines

Nov 5, 2014 at 4:18 PM -
Statboy:
I fail to see how Redskins is offensive but not Chiefs, Indians, Vikings, Blackhawks, Angels (sacrilegious), etc. For that matter wouldn't the most offensive names be Raiders or Buccaneers as those promote criminal behavior?
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:19 PM -
Statboy:
You see my point, we can't start to regulate based on "offensiveness" because everything out there is offensive to somebody
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:19 PM -
Hexalan: Redskins, as in, red skin, as in indians have red skin.
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:19 PM -
Hexalan: You know, one of those racial colors.
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:20 PM -
Reechard:
the reason it isn't socially offensive is because we were all raised as racist assholes by a society that hasn't taken the time to stop using "Indian" incorrectly
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:21 PM -
VaultBot: 16:49:19 voksul |lft spy|: i'm a better spy than you, dude.

and because the society targeted by the racism is nearly extinct.

if someone started the "Miami Wetbacks", there'd be legal action immediately

does cause problems when confronted with actual Indians, from India.
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:22 PM -
Reechard:
that's really ignorant.
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:22 PM -
Reechard:
It's even more racist when put in that context
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:23 PM -
Statboy:
But the government can't regulate it is my point, because everything is offensive to somebody. If something truly is offensive the people will have to regulate it. Also most Native Americans aren't offended by the Redskins name
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:23 PM -
Reechard:
the fact that schools still teach about christopher columbus and the "Indians" in elementary schools is ridiculous
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:23 PM -
Hexalan: Christopher Columbus was clearly a cretin.
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:23 PM -
VaultBot: maybe reechard will actually be on the internet and not 2160p
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:23 PM -
Hexalan: But we already named our capital after him, so it's a bit late to change now.

Christopher Columbus was a socio-path, and that is taught now and days

Hexalan: I share lonesome's opinion that it's just a word and people shouldn't care so much about it.
Nov 5, 2014 at 4:29 PM -
Hexalan: And English's that the government shouldn't be involved, and if it's important enough to enough people, the people in charge will have to deal with it.

Hexalan: "Weeding the garden seemed somehow futile, since the weeds grew back overnight. Drying the dishes seemed an act of utter folly, since, left alone, the dishes would dry themselves without any assistance whatsoever. He made some effort to sway Polgara to his point of view in this particular matter. She listened gravely to his impeccable logic, nodding her agreement as he demonstrated with all the
