I don't really care either way about the name. I'm not offended by it, and I wouldn't care one bit if the name was changed. I can understand how a Native American may be bothered by it, but when one considers the state that group of people is in, the name of a sports franchise should be very far down their list of priorities. What really bothers me are all the pompous, white urban windbags like Costas who seem to draw pleasure from being offended on everyone else's behalf.

Maybe they do have a lot of benefits these days, but the life of an Indian (especially one on a reservation) tends to be about as miserable as it can get in a developed nation. If I were a member of some tribe, the name of a sports franchise would be about #2499 on my list of gripes.

The name has gone the way of the buggy whip.  I mind it since it is a relic of the past that has no place in our future.  You don't need a political party to hide behind on this.  To me, it is common decency that either side supports.

When I think about some guy belonging to an ethnic group that is literally destroying itself taking the time to go protest the name of a sports franchise, I can't help but see it as more than a little absurd. Sorry.

I couldn't care less what they do. If they want to go protest the name of a sports franchise while their co-ethnics are drinking themselves to death at an obscene rate and living in abject poverty, that's their business. Good to know guys like you, who just care so much are around to feel their pain for them. I bet your little heart just hurts so much for them.

Yes, because that's what they're all doing.  

 

845 posts along these lines flies directly in the face of you claiming you couldn't care less.

 

I don't care if they change their name or not - it's not my battle.  The fact that others, whose history is basically filled with genocide, feel that it's worth some of their time to fight is fine.  You know why?  They're infinitely more qualified to express themselves regarding how that name makes them feel than you are.

 

Now go dance like a mental patient, whitey.
