Fair opinion about the name. But in actuality, a poll was done by a liberal source (U.C. Berkley....ya can't get any more liberal) could not get a majority of Native Americans to condemn the "word" in the sense of the Team.
The ideal of the Redskin being a brave and majestic warrior was the intent of the name? Not really, maybe somewhat......It has to do with.........The Boston Braves NFL team!!!!!.......Here is the poop:
"In 1933, the football team that shared both the name and playing field with the
Boston Braves baseball team moved to
Fenway Park, already home to the
Boston Red Sox. Co-owner
George Preston Marshall changed the name to the Redskins, more likely to avoid confusion while retaining the Indian imagery of the team than to honor coach
William Henry "Lone Star" Dietz, whose identity as a Native American was debated. The logo for the NFL Braves was similar to the current logo, a Native American head in profile with braids and trailing feathers. The current logo, proposed by Walter Wetzel, a former
Blackfeet tribal chairman and past president of the National Congress of American Indians, was introduced in 1972 and is modeled after the likeness on the
Buffalo nickel. Members of the Blackfeet tribe express a range of opinions, from support to indifference to strong opposition to the Redskins name based upon their personal experience." So there. It appears that Marshall did not have it out for Native Americans. In fact, Dietz might have been more Native American than........wait for it ,........Lizzy!
This was NOT a racial attack on the native American and the current logo was even proposed by a native American Wetzel.......that lousy racis........oh yeah, he wasn't.
OK. Here is a new war cry to denounce a racist atrocity that has been allowed for years. For the rest of us who are not burning and looting, defacing, destroying, and taking over property that does not belong to us while killing or injuring over 900 police and private citizens, I want the name
Cracker Jacks to be stricken from the annals of history or I will pout and march to ahhh,???......how about Hull pending Rte. 3 south traffic. The audacity!!!!!! I want that highly offense little song ditty "Take me out to the Ballgame" (A
ditty is a little
song or a simple tune) scrubbed from history. Ironically in Minneapolis sits a statue:
Target Field Statues - "Take Me Out To The Ballgame"
Buy me....
Cracker Jacks!!!! Oh the humanity!
Statue???You are going down Kellebrew!!!!!! We can use that baseball bat to smash us some windows.
How many people did Harry Carey offend with this evil anthem!
From Hull, we should then march to Dallas to shame that racist Frito Lay for producing the ******* Jacks product. I am sure we can get the rich kids and other American Apple Pie haters to join. Frito Lay should be croaked anyway for taking away the free prizes!!!
This country has gone nuts. Oh ya...then there are less peanuts now in ******* Jacks, supported by those really cheap bigots at Frito Lay. Anyone have Sharpton's number?
I pray for peace.
