"Redskin" is an insulting word and concept.  There is no way to spin that without looking like a total douche.  I mean look at the letters published so far.

Nope, just do away with 'redskins' and replace it with the Winners!

The Washington Winners is much more alliterative, not accurate though.

When you say people you are referring to politicians. Am I correct?

Because there is nothing wrong with pushing back on issues like this when politicians are the ones who began harping on it. Like the failure in chief.



Both.  Not the peeps that push back though.  We wouldn't have to push back if over board zealot do-gooders wouldn't try to run everyone's lives.

You're right.  Could you do me a favor?  Could you use the word "redskins" in a favorable sentence not involving football?  You know, use the word in its finest hour.  Since you reckoned that 'redskins' is not insulting, Snyder can sponsor "Better Red than Dead. . .like the Cowboys will be Sunday night!"

We all are our values.  You seem comfortable as a veritable Uncle Tom of the controversy.  But like you've intimated, there is no racial slur, thus no problemo!

What's all that stuff about indians as Human Beings and the Others, they were savages, no?  That was from Little BigMan.  Do I even have to go on?  How about you Reddy the Redskin?  How about a war whoop for old time's sake?  Hiya Hiya, Wa hooo Wa hooo Waaahhhh

That's quite a flight of fancy on your part.  You've plumbed the depth of my soul and then spit on me in the same sentence.  

Since practically everyone else in the solar system views 'redskins' as a slur, I'm sure there's room for you redskins that like being called, 'redskin'.  Granted, that's a tad bit submissive but we'll keep that between us and the 8 other people reading this thread.

Nope, you are correct sir.

Why anyone can plainly see that "redskin" is no more of a slur than 'gentleman' or 'Sir'.

Am I turning you on somehow? 

Midol is for menstrual cramps so that won't help the uncomfortable warmness you are now feeling in your mouth and loins.

Are you dreaming of me in a wig and dress?

Now I'm getting interested!

Because one argument is true, it doesn't make the other also true.

I could say that one can plainly see that redskin is no more a compliment "asshole" or "jerk"

No you could not say the same thing about the concept's ameliorative aspects.  That's weak.

You're better than this.  Don't waste your time.

Doesn't change the flaccid approach of proving your point by measuring "redskin" against complimentary terms.

Redskin is either used as an insult or it isn't.  In our society it isn't.

Really?  Are you out of your fucking mind?  I'm just curious.  Whenever I connect with someone who claims or does something breathtaking, I have to check sanity.

So the US society does not view the word 'redskin' as an insult?  I can give you hundreds of links dating back over years that crush your view.  Now do you want to reconsider your position the word redskin is not an insult?  Come on man.  Honesty is the first step.

Start pasting.  

Who calls anyone "redskin" if they are not referring to football?

You were the one to ask me to use the word and not refer it to football.

My point is it's only used as a football term.  

Now that being said, you could say redskin is an insult as it relates to football.  After all they got beat by the lowly Raiders.  ;D

NBC Sports dedicated 60 seconds of the Washington Redskins Sunday game night game to call the Redskins name, 'an insult, a slur'  ::)  ::)

Political correct BS.
