    Do you think the players who see the name as racist will refuse to be drafted by them or play games against them?

    Not according to most of the indigenous.

    But you go ahead and be offended on their behalf - that's not patronizing at all...

    Now that's some forward thinking!

    Like the KSU players who won't practice until their fellow student is punished for using free speech!

    I think the patronizing thing here is your assumption that most of the indigenous are not offended by the term...especially in light of the polling data that points to the exact opposite conclusion.

    Look I'm an NFL fan and NFL history buff, and it rankles me, but the name needs to change nonetheless. You all can snowflake all you like; it's horribly offensive to Native American's and well should be. Much as it sucks it's just time. Just change it to Warriors or Braves or something, no need for any uniform changes. There's a way to keep the tradition without the offensiveness.

    Common sense, so I understand why you’d ask

    LoL..... that's nice. So the broad sample of native Americans doesn't count (90% of whom are not offended), what counts is the tiny sliver that are activists. This is akin to saying that white nationalists speak for all whites. The opinion of white nationalists on Jews is the opinion of white people in general. We certainly couldn't take a broad sample of white people, we need the white nationalists to speak for all of them. Screw the 90% of all native Americans, lets go with the activists who presume to speak for them. Think about that number for a second, 90%. Name one thing that 90% of white people agree on.

    This is how progressives work. A tiny slice of radicals presume to speak for entire groups and push things through which the group they purportedly are standing for OPPOSE.

    The tiny slice of representation that native Americans have in the NFL will be erased. I recommend they change the name to the Washington WASPs (white anglo saxon protestants) and replace the native American warrior with the European one below.

    But you're still not explaining why it's racist. This is what the left does, they fall in with the this, that or the other thing is racist and willingly go along with even when they can't explain why and probably don't know why.

    Here's another question: Why wasn't this name racist 10, 20 or 40 years ago? You guys keep inventing new racism. In fact, you're distorted the meaning of the word so badly that I doubt very many people on the left know it's true definition.
