I’d say they’re proud of their heritage and accomplishments, unlike white, liberal wimps who feel guilty because they ate a chocolate doughnut on MLK day.
If the Washington Redskins owners don’t have the cajones to tell the detractors to go pound sand, they should adopt the name “Washington Wimps”.
*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*
We lived next to the Pima reservation when I was a kid. Used to go and play with the several friends.
I enjoyed listening to Grandma and Grandpa Martin talk on the porch while we kids played in the yard, it was like listening to spoken music.
Racists make those who are different ashamed of being different.
It doesn’t make me hate Dan Snyder any less, but that’s not because of the name. It’s because he’s a meddlesome owner who runs his team, as one writer put it, “like a first-year fantasy football manager.” The Skins used to be a great team, until Snyder came along and blew big money on Spurrier, Zorn, Haynesworth, Griffin, et al, and has always had crappy, no-depth teams behind his mistakes. While Snyder gets richer, long-time Redskins fans like me get hosed. I wish we could fire him.
Anyways, it was nice to see him treat some deserving guys to a vacation in DC, even if he was just trying to sugar-coat his well-deserved bad reputation.
Don’t tell Chrissy Mathews, but I gave each one of them a dog whistle before kickoff.
Rename the team
the Washington Code Talkers
(Wha? Well … screw NSA!)
These folks realize people name their teams after things they like – good things – right?
Like the Coachella Valley Fightin’ Arabs. [The school has had a version of the mascot since 1910 and the local community has a connection to the Middle East because a lot of crops from the region are grown locally.*]
After 9/11, there wasn’t any hue n cry [from the honkey, backlashin' raaaacists] over the name, but now the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee is trying to make ‘em change it. [they ain't]
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but team mascots aren’t chosen for their admirable characters (see: Wolverines, nasty beasts), more for their fighting spirit.
(Wha? Yeah, or perhaps to humor the boss’ wife.)
I just really admire these guys for what they did and what it says about their characters.
Can’t imagine what their pre- or post-war lives were like, but their wartime performances proves their basic characters.
So does their thumbing their noses at the PC weenies.
Yeah, I love these guys.
Character is more’n Skins deep.
I guess the Oregon Ducks “fighting spirit” must be based on rape and ballistic penises?
I don’t want to know what “fighting spirit” or negative connotations the OSU Beavers represent. That’s sexist!
Kidding aside, I think some people have far too little to do and nothing real to worry about in their lives for this to even occur to them. If they need more afflictions in their lives to drum some sense of proportion into them, why oh why can’t they just afflict themselves?
2 things:
1) Of all the Western injun tribes, none could compete with the Navajos when it came to spit-shining their moccasins!
2) P J O`Rourke jist wrote a long letter for the WSJ about Baby Boomers. Which nails this ridiculous hassle about the *Redskins*name. Laughed my ass off reading it………..
The Redskins issue is purely manufactured. It didn’t even exist last year, and now it’s the cause celebre of progressives who otherwise couldn’t even name a pro sports team. Salon, which has heretofore never mentioned any sports team at all, has boldly announced that henceforth they shall never ever mention the DC team by name. Rachel Maddow, who routinely fails to refer to sports in any context ever, has taken a stand to boycott this team by endlessly talking about them. And now we discover that Stalinist (unless they’re Trotskyite) The Nation has a sports editor, who has never before been heard from and breaks his long silence.
As for these
Indians?Sorry, Native Americans? False consciousness. Which is the condescending way progs sneer ar Designated Victims who wander off the reservation.Larry (10)
*heh* Thanks, I needed that.
(alt: Thank you, sir! May I have another?)

(Wha? No, ’tain’t plagiarism … it’s an homage.)

Here is the link Doug-san. As the Nips would say, “Gomen nasi, Baca-san”.

There’s another name for the “Code Talkers” which I prefer.
Marines.
