We've had much fuss in recent months that Redskins is an offensive term for the football team. I saw a black man at the gym wearing a soccer jersey that had "Darkskins" where the name would be. Obviously, this has racial connotations. If Redskins is so offensive, why would a black man so proudly display a Darkskins jersey?

Great job. You just single handedly solved the issue about the term "Redskins". And off one single unrelated observation at that!

Someone call the press!!

Redskins ?? The Kansas city Chiefs ?? I watched them spank the Patriots last night on Monday night football and the Chief fans set a record for noise. They were doing this chant that sounded like it was Native American and moving their arms like they were swinging a tomahawk. AND that is not offensive??

Redskins? Darkskins? the Tomahawk chop???? Talk about trouble ahead from the PC MOB!

This is between you caucasians and the native Americans. This has nothing to do with black folks so don't involve us. Thanks.
