So now - since Obama has taken office - Redskins is offensive for the first time since I have lived in the DC area. I have never seen fans doing Warrior chants and imitating tomahawk chopping as they do in Atlanta during Braves games.
I guess the Indians, Seminoles, Braves and other teams are next on the chopping block.
What do we call redskin potatoes/peanuts now?
Good thing I am a fan of the Orioles and Cowboys. No one seems interested in the outrage expressed by birds or white men in 10 gallon hats on horses.
I think it all is a matter of context. Hypothetically, if an African sports club was named the "white skins" and used an image of let's say George Washington as their mascot, there are more than a few people who find that offensive.
It would not bother me at all. Only thin skinned people who want to tell others how to live would be offended.
Your argument is that the word is offensive simply because you are offended by it, that is flawed logic at its worst!
