How The Washington Post conducted the survey on the Redskins’ name
If you have a better methodology for accounting for the opinions on Native Americans then I'm all ears. Until then, this poll is about as accurate as we are going to get. As I stated before, even if you only look at the opinions of tribe members, this is a massive, MASSIVE landslide. The vast majority of them simply don't see that word as offensive. When you combine that with the fact that there isn't even a historical agreement between experts on whether or not the word is offensive, you have an embarrassing turn of events for the C.O.C. Not to worry, though. They'll move on to something else and it will more than likely be even more trivial and/or ridiculous. It usually is.
Thanks for the morning laugh, ven. I like you. When I take over, you can be my Minister of Propaganda.
I wasn't looking for affirmation of it at all. I fully understood my viewpoint wasn't completely absurd. As a matter of fact, I really don't give a damn one way or another and I really didn't care about the topic at all. I just think the poll is hilarious because it flies in the face of every argument the C.O.C. has made regarding the word. There are bigger fish to fry in this world and there are many, MANY things going on in this world today to actually be offended about. A word whose meaning has no full historical agreement is not one of them. That said, I'll take your borderline personal attack as confirmation that you understand you have no logical counterargument here.
If it doesn't matter then why would it matter if it was changed? Who cares?
OOOOOUUUUGH! ALL UPERCASE LETTERS! YOU MUST BE F###### SERIOUS! OOOOOUUUGH! Complaining about everything being "PC" is the new carrying card for ****ies...
Wrong, but that's no surprise...i take it you're voting for bernie!
All kidding aside, you need to get yourself at least semi- permanently, if not forever, to the political forum. I have friends of all political persuasions, so your mindless posts don't bother me. But, honestly, you don't seem to know jackshit about football, and that's no crime, but you're in way, way, way over your head here.i take it you're voting for bernie!
