Ignoarints posted:originally pretty insensitive lol yeah except even then it wasn't insensitive but rather a tribute to the coach and many key players quote:The Washington Redskins were originally known as the Boston Braves. In 1933, co-owner George Preston Marshall changed the name to the Redskins, in recognition of the then–head coach William Henry "Lone Star" Dietz, who claimed to be part Sioux. On July 6, 1933, the Boston Herald reported that "the change was made to avoid confusion with the Braves baseball team and the team that is to be coached by an Indian (Dietz)... with several Indian players."

FogHelmut posted:this is really a positive move for conservative thought. the redskins are no longer shackled by government regulation through the patent office. the free market will provide them with the profits they need, as consumers will smartly only purchase official redskins products. you're confusing conservatives with libertarians

FogHelmut posted:i thought there was some kind of venn diagram that covered both groups For conservatives, this is an issue of private rights and free speech Libertarians are probably happy about this, but mad about how it happened quote:while conservatives feel "gently caress you i can call injuns what i want." you're confusing racists and conservatives

yankees is clearly a slur used by both europeans and southerners, so clearly we need to get rid of that name as well
