I don't think you fully understood the post sir.

Woke is a tired term and in general I only see it used by politicians pandering for votes or grifters lining their pockets off simpletons.

Maybe one day you'll have an awakening.

If you say so.  

I'm going to drop this and stick to the topic.   

The Redskin name should come back for no other reason than it should have never been removed.

Well before crying about it not being a Panther topic.  Please go through the menu and you'll see several topics that aren't Panther related.   

The best way to go about you day if you don't like the topic is STFU and go about your day.  When the moderators tell us ONLY Panther topics than I conform as I have for the past 20 years on this forum. 

Wiping away history is the best thing you can do, right?  It's funny that removing Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima and others classic brands for the sake of wokeness now we only have white people on our brands.  Kind of backwards.

Exactly

If reading comprehension is a problem, please see someone.  If you can read.  I said They might be reverting back to the Redskins.  Key word being MIGHT.

As far as whether they will or won't is up to the owner but it's being discussed.

The right thing to do is change it back.  The Redskins should be the name they should have never gotten rid of.  

@MHS831 Mentioned 38% in a poll.  One poll.  I have seen where other polls that were in FAVOR of keeping the name.  It just depends on who is polling.

Bottom line IMO a group of Native Americans.  The Native American Guardian Association has filed a lawsuit to change it back.  If a Native American group wants it back.  Who the hell are we to disagree. It comes down to the WOKE crowd can't stop interfering in everything they can get their hands on. 

Ur not my mom...so u STFU.

People misconstrue no longer celebrating and lauding racism, slurs, etc. as "censorship".

Using this logic I should be able to turn on my TV right now and see white actors in black face shucking and jiving to "Dixie", otherwise it's "erasing history".

And everyone that doesn't agree with you is a RACIST.

Exactly!  If the pollster wants to achieve a certain result, they know who TO and who NOT TO poll.  Native Americans don't want to be wiped away from the national identity.  Having their names and likeness in popular culture, like sports, keeps them relevant.

It's funny how Dave can't understand why it was actually changed.

How about the Pigskins? Seems a fun way to still pay homage to the old name without being offensive.

I know exactly why it was changed.  A bunch of whiny people that have nothing better to do making issues out of nothing. 

It's a name.  It was a name everybody loved or loved to hate.

Oh I am sure that's coming.  Just because I don't believe in deleting history and changing everything to conform to their way of thinking.  I am going to be called a racist. 

Well, its history that in the early 1900's "redskins" was in fact a slur towards Native Americans akin to how the n-word or "negros" were to refer to black people. So yes, if you see no problem with a team calling themselves the Cincinnati Negros, then you might be a racist.

The only reason "redskins" wasn't more controversial when the team had it is because Native Americans are such a tiny minority of America (sadly) that most people were ignorant of it and there was little media pressure to change it.

All things considered The Washington Football team wasn't bad

My reading comprehension is fine.  The author, and you, just wanted some clicks, nothing more.  They said that they weren't thinking about a name change of any sort at this time.  

 Basically, it was corporate PR talk for, we aren't going to do that, but we aren't going to tell people we aren't going to do it.
