re: #271 HappyWarrior

Perhaps but I think they’re showing by using very anti-semitic slurs directed at Snyder how we wince at words like “kike” and etc that the same people who would be understandably offended by that don’t take much notice to Redskins. I got my own Dad to admit the other day that he had never really thought about the name from a Native American point of view and that’s always been the problem with the name. Not to mention the founder of the Redskins was arguably the most vile racist in sports history. So, yeah maybe they did go too far but perhaps that’s kinda the point. I really think this much as a native Washington area resident that people accept the name because it’s all they’ve ever known. If Redskins was proposed today, people wouldn’t want it but because generations have known it, they accept it and that’s wrong and it sucks.

At the same time, I’m not getting outraged by Yid Army. In fact I think it’s kinda cool.
