This is exactly what I experience when I've asked the people on the Rez about it.The new survey duplicates the Washington Post’s 2016 poll finding that 90 percent of Natives are not offended by the Redskins’ nickname.

You're essentially saying the same thing I'm saying, this is being done to make the white man comfortable, not the Indian.
snyder's sponsors applied the pressure, probably threatened to pull the plug. how many of them are native? (a sixteenth doesnt count here right!)
i know a savior complex when i see it.
If you can’t even understand that, then you are disregarding the Native Americans who are offended by that racial slur.
Stop making this all about you.
As this thread has shown, the lacrosse community continues to earn its deplorable reputation on race and diversity issues.

You mean he wasn’t from Buffalo?DMac wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 10:52 pm PETA will make sure the Buffalo Bills change their name too.The AAFC Bills franchise was named after the Buffalo Bills, a popular barbershop quartet, whose name was a play on the name of the famed Wild West showman Buffalo Bill Cody.https://www.pbs.org/buffalowar/buffalo.html"Buffalo" Bill Cody, who was hired to kill bison, slaughtered more than 4,000 bison in two years.
Don’t think so. Indians would be more likely but I don’t see that happening either.
No, but what you do want to tell me is that these people's indifference, maybe even pride, to the name is wrong and they need to be educated by the white man as to why, and when the results of surveys don't fit their agenda you change the wording, manipulate it, so to speak, so as to ensure it does. See the survey results from the link I posted from the people themselves. That's all I need to know, and again that's exactly what I've experienced. White man will straighten that all out though.Typical Lax Dad wrote

How about SAUSAGES?DMac wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 8:49 am Think I've come up with a good new name for the Redskins which eliminates any connotations or disrespect to to Indians.
The SAVAGES, the white man can speak for himself with this one.

You think the tomahawk chop is going to survive this cancel culture.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 8:57 amDon’t think so. Indians would be more likely but I don’t see that happening either.
The Braves mentioned that they are not considering a name change but are having discussions regarding eliminating the chop. We will see where it goes.6ftstick wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 8:59 amYou think the tomahawk chop is going to survive this cancel culture.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 8:57 amDon’t think so.

One of my all-time favorite nicknames is that of a high school in eastern Oklahoma - in the middle of OK rez country. Their high school name? --- the SAVAGES!DMac wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 6:02 am Just in case anyone doesn't know who Oren is (Simmie and Oren are super good buddies)

Politically correct? nope. But I have to assume that the folks there like it, or it would have changed a long time ago.
But what a great name - would be even better if they had a lacrosse team....
Agreed, some on are on a spectrum of 'lack of empathy'...it's discouraging how many this actually appears to be.Matnum PI wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 7:12 pmI think psychologists are describing psychopaths, sociopaths, and people with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. i.e. People who have literally zero empathy. there are plenty of people who have some empathy who don't fall into this category who "lack empathy". As for your second comment, agreed. Beyond words to me.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 10:41 am The psychologists estimate that about 6% of the general population has an inability to feel empathy. which explains only a piece of this problem.
What is troubling, therefore, is how so many more than this % have adopted suppression of empathy as a partisan matter under the guise of rejecting "Political Correctness".
