    Re: That's Racist! I: Fun with America's Original Sin

    I still don't quite understand why it is okay to have the Atlanta Braves, the Cleveland Indians, and the Chicago Blackhawks, but not to have the Washington Redskins.


    I suppose the outcry would not subside if they were to change their mascot to a potato, eh?

      I'm guessin' for the same reason that you can name a team the "Rebels" but not the "Racist Wall-eyed Meth-head Yokel Bumpkins."

      But you should keep explaining to people when they have the right to take offense. I hear that goes over really well.

        Why is the Vikings team name not offensive to Minnesotans? Because Vikings isn't a derogatory term. The Washington Redskins would be the equivalent of the Minnesota Honkies.
