Native Americans Want The “Redskins” Back

- In 2020, the Washington Redskins got rid of their supposedly terrible, racist, and triggering name and logo, becoming the 'Commanders.' Now, some people want to bring back the Redskins, and you’ll never guess who…

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute." ~1984
The world is slowly turning into 1984
Exactly. They are evil.
Seriously
They are convincing people to erase their own history and all images related.
Marxism is evil and terrifying
I’m Yaqui and Mayo native. Having a team named after our people is an honor. Anyone who says otherwise is a clown. Bring back the Cleveland Indians and the Washington Redskins.
Agreed. Yep. Please do.
What would you say is the percentage of natives that don't like natives being used as sports teams names & logos from your experience?
Wait what the hell is Cleveland called now?
@@mattschwartz7583Cleveland Guardians 😒
@@cptn_n_cola wow that's almost worse than commanders, glad I've always been a reds fan
Native Aboriginal here! The Chiefs, The Blackhawks, The Redskins and The Braves. Never had a problem with them! 🤯
Big fan of the Blackhawks and absolutely love the design of the logo knowing that it was designed and the name being made after a prominent chief. They better not change anything for that team.
Seminoles as well
Why didn't y'all speak up sooner though?
Native to Australia not America
@@lilmissmonsterrr Democrat party know better for the Indians. They run them, just like they were the Party of Slavery and the Party of the KKK. It was the Democrats that took Native Americans' lands, and placed them in reservations. Because they are also the Party of Segregation
When Land O Lakes removed the picture of the Indian girl from their logo, keeping only the background scenery, one Native American here in Minnesota said, "Same old story! They got rid of the Indian and kept the land." 😅
Mascots are for peoples who are extinct or animals. We're neither extinct or animals nor Red!
"The Ute Indian Tribe encourages the University of Utah to use the Ute name for the University's sports programs with its full support."
As a Utah Utes fan, I'm proud that our team pays respect to the state's history and Native American culture.
Washington could've easily consulted the Native American community and if needed, replaced the name with one that still represented their culture, but instead, they chose "Commanders..."
“Potomacs” was always the best compromise, especially if they get the tribe’s blessing like a lot of universities have done.
They never wanted them gone and neither did I. Bring back the Cleveland Indians too!
true
Absolutely!!
Bring back the beloved Chief Wahoo
one of the best logos in sports. ruined.
Yeah. Agreed.
As a Native American, I am tired of the woke in general! Redskin is a badge of HONOR !!!
It most certainly is. A warrior would paint their body with red clay and other red pigments before going into battle. My great grandfather told us stories of his great great grandfather doing so. I don't have enough native American in me to speak for them as a whole (more than Senator Warren however) because my grandfather was adopted by my great grandfather and not native American at all. I still have ties to the tribe and distant relatives who feel their being erased in the name of social justice.
yup, we name our teams after people we admire, great and fierce warriors, cool animals, etc.
The new owner wants the name back also. He's a diehard Skins fan since he was a kid. I read an article on it.
@@SoloRenegade Except the Dolphins lol. The Browns have an interesting name, named after Paul Brown. He was a pioneer in football and started the team right after WWII in 1946.
@@DroneStrike1776 dolphins are intelligent, and able to fight back against sharks.
As a native American I was offended when I heard people claim the logo was racist because of "Exaggerated indigenous features" honey not only was the logo bases off of a Indian chief he looks like my great uncle
Oh it's the best American Indian/Native American Chief image I have ever witnessed. The moxie is obvious. It's a great warrior of mighty valor. I compare that image with DC Comics' Sgt. Rock....just awesome!!!
President Obama was jealous of this Indian Chief that he drove the narrative to remove the Redskins from Washington. And it came to pass sadly
Check out that name
Lmfao.
There's a Roman statue called "Dying Gaul" of a German man who the artist saw bleeding out from a stab to the thigh during a campaign in his youth. The guy is naked and grimacing, on the ground, holding his wound, and looks just like my uncle.
From one Native to another you should know your history and know Redskins is a racial slur it has never been a compliment
I'm British born and bread never been to the USA but had a friend back in the 90's who was half Native American and loved the fact that American sports team promoted his heritage. How the world has changed in 30 years. Love to America and respect to all Native Americans ❤
“Change these names they’re so racist😡😡”
Representing different ethnicities was never racist 🤦♀️
Exactly.
Of course, sooner or later these people will whine all teams have white names and must diversify.
ALL THIS!!
True but maybe some people think that the name of the ethnicity is racist. Ridiculous right?
If anything it was promoting diversity
My High School’s mascot was an Indian. It got changed in 2019 because the idiot students didn’t think they could support the stereotype. They changed it to the “Red Hawks”. My eyes couldn’t roll any further back in my head.
lmao
Damn. That’s unfortunate. Where was this?
@@JuanEnriqueFloresJr Manchester High School in Manchester CT.
Happened to Miami University in Oxford, OH, also. Miami is named after the Miami tribe, and the tribe fully supported the team being named the Redskins. But no, it doesn't matter what the tribe likes.
@@suburbanbanshee u mean the seminoles ?
Literally every modern act of fixing “racism” is actually RACIST! Having a food brand with a black woman on it is representation and should be celebrated not erased!
Agreed. Well said friend.
Or drink real maple syrup not that swill it’s healthier than high fructose corn syrup dye and artificial flavours

They removed the black icons and left the white quaker oats guy. Lol
@@beetlejuice3x309FrZ
When that Native-American guy said "Its my fault for letting that hurt me," I thought, this is exactly the kind of mindset people need to take on today.
Yea I was thinking the same thing! Just like when people call me short or racist for just existing it is my fault for letting that hurt me 🎉
I felt the same exact way. Can't yell at the world for having rough ground if you refuse to wear shoes. 🎉
That makes no sense.
You can't have a team called that. Imagine a football team called the Boston Pale Faces
Still waiting for BYU to remove the "Cougar" name as it is offensive to older women.
They just need to change the mascot to respectfully represent them as the predatory barflies they are
What about the Fighting Irish?!? 😂
@@coollady2179 Yup. Celtic, Irish, Vikings, Pirates, Buccaneers, Mariners, Wizards are all problematic. We're gonna have to clean house! ;)
😂😂
Native American here & I approve of the Redskins
But what about the 35 sensitive souls who wanted the change?
@@KennethSchamehornthey have to grow up lol
Exactly. It refers to the red pigments (paints) warriors used before battle.
@@KennethSchamehorn They were probably all white
@@Supersonicspyro They can’t.
Navajo here 🤚- bring back the Red Skins!
I'll second that.
Same bro
i agree
Yes!
Many native Americans loved it. Never understood why they changed it.
Miq'mac here. Only the activists wanted it changed. I had 1000 better things to worry about.
I called this. I said all this rebranding and 'concern' for NA was just an excuse to remove them from the public view and, therefore, no longer have to worry about NA issues.
I said this at the time. "Did anyone ask the Indians?"
I replied this to another comment. These people probably assumed the Indians were offended, when they weren’t.
Same thing when they tried to memory hole Speedy Gonzales for being "offensive" and managed to anger the entire Spanish speaking part of humanity
As a Native Indian, I never found ANY football team names offensive. I wish white people would stop telling me what I'm supposed to be offended by.
Amen
That's white liberals for you.
Preach
The left always views races and cultures not as individual people, but as monolithic groups who are all expected to share the exact same thoughts and values.
Agreed!
Being offended in someone else's behalf is just another way of exploiting people.
Basically, and I hate it. Don't tell me these people need to be heard when you're the only one doing the talking.
Exceptionally great point !
Have Native American friends who loved the Redskins. When they changed the name and logo my friends stopped supporting them.
Same.
There is a great story about a high-level restaurant in Frankfurt, Germany owned by a black German. It had a name that was - falsely - related to a racist idea. They complained about it to a black "employee". He turned out to be the owner and lectured them about the meaning of the name and how they immediately assumed that he could possibly only be an employee.
Companies are not Removing DEI they are rebranding it. They've been saying it for months themselves.
It's being changed to BRIDGE. Kirsche has been all over it for about a year now. People need to watch a couple of her videos about it.
I want Aunt Jemima back as a premium organic maple syrup. All they did in getting rid of black spokespeople for food would say that it's racist to have a black person be the spokesperson for any food. Thankful they didn't shut down all of the black owned bbq restaurants.
I know. It's sad. We celebrated a beautiful dark skinned African American lady who was this awesome cook for years and years, and (thanks to Woke silly cancel culture) we kicked her image off the bottle of syrup. I'm still heartbroken over that.
Wokesters are your biggest racists.
Or the soul food and fried chicken restaurants.
Cousin T's makes his own syrup & pancake mix. Check'em out
@markmcflounder15 Thanks for recommendation!
One of the most hilariously removed mascots is Land O' Lakes. They got rid of the Native American and kept the land.
They sent her and other n8v logos to the trail of tears
How classically, corporately short-sighted.
Who cares they’re extinct. If they don’t want to be represented in our country, that’s fine with me. Bring back more white mascots
Literal lol
Rule of Thumb: Ask the stake holders before making decisions. It is interesting that several of my Native American friends refer to themselves as "Indians," not "Native Americans." One of them commented, "No one asked us. The name 'Native American' was imposed upon us by outsiders. We still refer to ourselves as 'Indians.' "
Same here, my dad when he was alive always referred to us as being”Indians”
I've watched a few things that highlighted similar. Even more specificially that the older generation on some reservations preferered "Indian" over "native american". I suppose likely because that's the term they have a connection with since young. Being an 80s kid, Indian was always fine with me. Society was different back then though.
Black people also often don’t want to be called “African Americans”. I have a black friend and she often gets annoyed by “African American” on job applications. Every time she brings it up she’s like “I’m not an African anything. I’m a black American”
@@Cheyennney All my black friends prefer "black". So that's what I call them. Not a single one preferred African American, although a couple said it was, "fine".
@@prman9984 yep. I don’t know how old you are but I’m 28 and I remember in high school when this particular friend moved into town - she was the only black kid in my grade being a small town in Indiana - she was often referred to as “the African American girl” and we as children were often scolded for calling her “black” when describing her. It’s just interesting because I can see the annoyance in her face and have since children when someone describes her as “African American” yet doesn’t flinch when she is described as black as I don’t when being described as white.
Her family is also from Europe so there’s that.
When they were deciding on a new name I suggested the best name was the OWLs: Offended White Liberals.
Choctaw/Chickasaw here. Bring back the REDSKINS!!!
Chokma!
Another Navajo here and I want it back! ✋🏼
Apache here too shout out!
Apache here too shout out!
Only the woke crowd has control over that, dontcha know?
It’s not coming back. It went for a reason and if we brought it back, you wouldn’t even be able to buy the Redskins jerseys because fanatics would pull their sponsorship you dumbasses. Get over it.
I believe the Florida Seminoles floated this idea and got a pretty negative response from the Seminole nation. They don't really care about those communites, they just want to use them as a sword and shield.
I grew up in Oklahoma and have been working reservations around the southwest ever since. I never knew an indian that didn't take pride in the fact that whites used the indian history as a measure of bravery and ferocity. They almost all wore native branded sports team gear, braves, redskins, etc. I never saw them mad about about it. It was the opposite. Every single time
Sounds so different from how "First Nations" behave and are perceived in Canada...
They did the same thing to Aunt Jamima...Uncle Bens...The Native american girl on the butter. I think it was soooo ridiculous. Total disrespect.
The beautiful Land O Lakes woman!
Democrats seem to want to minimize minorities.
The funniest part was that they removed the Indian from the land on the butter. I am surprised that they didn't replace the Indian with a cowboy on a horse holding a gun.
I miss the Land O Lakes girl :( I always thought she was so pretty
@@Vincent67337😂 that is hilarious
I never understood this. These people act as if we’re erasing or at the very least not recognizing natives from our history, but how many towns, rivers, lakes, schools, mascots, etc. in this country are named after tribes that resided in those areas? Doesn’t that bring recognition to their place in our history? Why would we want to remove those things?
Naming a football team located in Washington DC after a coach and the Native American history in this country. How can no one see this as badass?!
I don't need a bunch of day-drinking Karens being offended, "On my behalf".
I know right.
Pretty sure it was those Karens (plus highlighter haired people) of the DC area that demanded the change. The rest of us didn't ask for it.
@@littleluxia you are absolutely right.
@@littleluxia Exactly.
Right! And, it's the freakin NFL
Everyone is sooooo upset by "The Patriarchy" but then turn around and infantilize every possible group that they don't fit into.
Personally as a person of Swedish decent I find the Minnesota Vikings mascot very problematic. I can't grow a mustache half as good as that!
SKOL lol
You had me in the first half, ngl😭
And the horns on their helmets are historical inaccuracies from Irish painters making them look like devils in their art.
Go Vikings!
😂😂😂
The mascot for the Red Mesa High School on the Navajo Reservation is the Redskins.
Heck yeah, "Mission Statement
To provide quality education for successful interaction in the changing technological world while enhancing Navajo culture.
A Heritage of Honor
We live in a community bound by tradition and honor, and we believe in our young people. Every day we strive to ignite a yearning for knowledge and root a sense of community belonging within our youth. It is our desire to send this new generation of leaders into the world hungry to protect, honor, and improve our way of life."
My high school team was the Red Raiders, it was a Native American in a headdress on our gym wall. I am Penobscot and I never once thought twice about it.
The guy wearing the Navajo Nation t-shirt was 100% correct. Each adult individual bears responsibility for his or her own feelings and whether we allow words to hurt us or offend us.
I’m an Kiowa Native I always thought it was a cool representation for Natives.
My high school also fell for this woke crap during 2020. They changed our team name from the Tomahawks to the Hawks. Seriously! Even a Native American weapon was too offensive.
Tomahawks are epic tbh idk why that would be offensive anyway
They are erasing Native American history and it’s disgusting. They are called the Blackfeet Indians because they would paint their feet black when they went to battle. Is that PREJUDICE!?!? So how is “Redskin” so bad? Especially when the logo was based off a REAL chief. It is a disgusting slap in the face to natives. It’s more than, “just a sports team” it’s HISTORY!
Native american elements existing in our common culture is somehow offensive to them. A literal tool is offensive to them just because it originates with natives 😂
They want us erased.
Wait til they understand what commander and chief meant.
I'm pretty sure we tried to tell the Redskins this in 2020 but they weren't going to listen.
Shawnee here. Bring back the Redskins! Chief Cornstalk used the term "Redman/Redmen" to self-identify. Get over it!!
Full-blooded Navajo woman here, it is offensive to No ONE on the reservation I’m from! The Red Skins, Chiefs, names are actually something to be proud of! ❤
It's funny... I always thought those names were a respectful TRIBUTE... not some kind of slur.
"It's my fault for letting that hurt me". Wow, that dude is so awesome.
I’ve lived in the DC area my entire life. People stopped paying attention to this team after the name change. They’re invisible to the point it feels like we don’t have a team at all. It’s bizarre.
NOVA native here. It feels wrong seeing people walking around with "Washington Football Team" or "Commanders" gear. And no one I know that watches football actually likes the change.
They built a storied legacy with the Redskins name. Multiple conference championships, multiple Super Bowls, and a borderline dynasty through the 80s. There's a lot of history there, and even though they've been irrelevant for the last thirty years, people still cling to that history. It also doesn't help that they picked the most bland and boring new name for the team.
“The Natives are negatively affected by this! End it NOW!!!”
“Well, damn. What did the natives say when you talked to them?”
“Talk to them? Why would I do that?!”
Exactly 💯...
and of course... 🤔⁉️ Nobody got rid of the 'WHITE' Popcorn 🍿 Guy or the 'WHITE' salad 🥗 dressing Guy .🤨‼️
FYI, the Cleveland baseball team followed suit and rebranded themselves from the Cleveland Indians to the Guardians. Two things I’ve always said are 1. There were 3 reasons why Snyder changed the name, Pepsi, FedEx, and Nike, they all threatened to pull their sponsorships and 2. Most of the people who caused this aren’t Native American
Gen X Comanche here! Context is EVERYTHING! The respectful use of a particular ethnic origin (e.g. the Spartans, the Highlanders, the Trojans, the Blackhawks, etc.) is NOT demeaning in and of itself. Its the difference between calling your sibling or a buddy an "a-hole" and calling someone who cuts you off in traffic without a turn signal an "a-hole". The term is the same but the meaning is completely different considering the CONTEXT. Never had a problem with the Redskins as a mascot and I fully support efforts to bring it back.
Completely understandable but it’s not coming back. Our owner already said so.
Me too

Yeah, local Washingtonian here, immediately recognize that one
This would be a very good thing! I still call them the Redskins!
@@bradg1440 I never stopped 🤣 I have been calling them the Redskins for 45 years. Well, I’m 45, so I’ve been calling them that since I started talking.
Me too
It's a way cooler name than "commanders"
That sounds way cooler anyway. I still call the Guardians the Indians too.
Same here. I can’t say commanders it’s such a ridiculous name
I will always call the team the Redskins and I usually have to remind myself that they are really talking about the Redskins when I read about the Commanders in a news article.
They have been to me and will always be the Washington Redskins. The embarrassing part of the name is WASHINGTON!
Oddly no one gives a shit about the Fighting Irish.
Yep. Stereotype of drunken Irish getting in bar fights. Oh. And you’re leprechauns 😅
What about the Drunk Irish?
Of course,white people from Europe
Why the left would care,they're not a minority in their dirty eyes

@@GOCAPSDMV Do you really want to call them Commanders💀
Aunt Jemima was proud to have her likeness on her product. It was a sign to her of acceptance. I have some Iroquois blood in me and have no trouble with the Redskin name for Washington. I live in Glens Falls and the highschool here used to be the Glens Falls Indians and had to change their name. Again, I had no trouble with the name.
Apparently, her family was pissed off about her face being taken off the bottle
I applied for a job yesterday and all they cared about was my pronouns. Not my skills or experience. Oh and what were my disabilities! How sick is this and when will it go away!
Native Greek here !!! Bring back the Cincinatti Souvlakis !!! I hate that they changed it to the Cincinatti Spartans !!!
We were erased once and they are trying to do it again
I think the world is finally moving towards the right direction. Bring the Redskins back!!!!
I snagged a bottle of Aunt Jemima Lite before it was gone from the shelves forever. I'm keeping it safe. Also, used to live in the DC area. The name change annoyed most Redskins fans.
I'm white and I'm offended for brown and blacks and that makes me a hero
Bring em back !!
Yeah! Please bring it back. We need it.
Bring back Land-O-Lakes lady and Aunt Gemima. They did nothing wrong!

Never gonna happen sadly

@@Supersonicspyro correct but a lot of us still call them the Commanders. Being, we are going to change our name most likely to something else in a few years doesn’t really make sense to buy Commanders gear right now. But yes you’re right.
Why do they want to change my Kansas City Chiefs? the Chiefs were named after the mayor of Kansas City at the time, its not "racist" if its named after a person. This woke stuff needs to stop period.
They were NEVER in Washington State. They are in DC. Why do people ALWAYS get this wrong?!
They're so irrelevant now cant be pissed to care which washington they bus in from
Ironically, Washington State was going to name themselves after the Columbia River but decided against it so they wouldn't be confused with the District of Columbia. So they named their state Washington.
We have some indian friends (who are fine with being called indians and not native americans) who were proud of the redskins. Their daughter kept asking why they were changed and they had to explain all this to her.
Same case for the Cleveland Indians, my dad has directly quoted the Wyandotts whom have been saying "We want Chief Wahoo back!"
So do I Let's go Tribe
Let’s go Tribe. Tribe forever. I wear my chief wahoo gear all the time.
I love the guardians on the bridge, but I'll always wear my Chief Wahoo gear. I was lucky enough to buy a hat with the original Chief on it. It's my favorite.
@@tylerjones9309 My husband tells people we don't have a professional baseball team in Cleveland anymore.
I’ve been calling them the Washington Redskins this whole time. They’ve sucked for the past 15 years anyways
I have a friend who works for the Cleveland guardians in merchandising and she said no one buys the stuff that says guardians and that they lose money on anything that says guardians. She also says that people still call the team Indians. No one was happy about the change
They want to erase diversity but they're the champions of DEI. Make it make sense!
Same stupid thing is going to happen to the Blackhawks. Named after Chief Black Hawk, yet there are high profile reporters saying this dumb crap.
Everything I've wanted the redskins back for so long
Me too
And don’t forget Land O Lakes, who quietly and for no good reason whatsoever removed the Native American girl from their packaging…. I was a loyal buyer of Land O Lakes products until they did that and I’ve hardcore boycotted them ever since the removal. I’ll shop at Target, roll my eyes at Bud Light, but Land O Lakes? No. 😂 I don’t know why it’s such a strong, visceral reaction, but it is.
My Alma Mater, Miami University of Ohio, changed their mascot from Redskins to Redhawks back in 1996. 🙄
There was a town in Northwest Minnesota who was told to change their name because it was considered "offensive" to the Indians. I have never seen an entire community fight tooth and nail against this bullshit. Good news is that they got to keep the team name and mascot.
No shock we want the Redskins back, I miss that logo. 😢
How about we ask the native American people if the team logo feels racist to them instead of assuming?
When you assume you are making an ass of yourself.
That always seems to be the way with leftists; THEY decide what other people consider bigoted and problematic, like they think they don't know any better.
A lot of native Americans spoke up about how they wanted it removed. Sure a lot of Native Americans wanted it to stay. I’m not denying that, but it was removed for a reason. I’m sorry, but it’s not coming back.
The leftist idiots constantly make fools of themselves, unfortunately at the expense of everyone else.
@@GOCAPSDMVdon't sound so sure
@@Supersonicspyro about it not coming back? Or that some native Americans wanted it gone? If you were specific that would really help…. And if it’s about the name, not coming back; our new owner said it himself. So don’t just take my word for it but the billionaires at the top of team.
As a native, I never loved the term redskin, but as far as the football team goes, I feel it did more good than harm. It spread representation and pride for our people. It’s not like wearing a Native American style Halloween outfit that inappropriately reveals too much skin, sexualizing and mocking a culture while ignorantly dismissing the true meaning of it. If a school or team have blessings from the nation, tribes, or even clans, I see nothing short of beautiful representation. ❤️
Nuance in the YT comments section?
Exactly. When a team selects a mascot, they embrace the properties that mascot represents. When a team calls themselves the Redskins, they embrace the warrior spirit and tenacity.
Sexually explicit costumes trend to exploit many great things, unfortunately, I hear you.
Some of the Indian cultures dressed in that manner, though. It's pretty simple, the hotter the climate the less clothing worn.
There's a reason if you look at what my ancestors wore during the winter, it looks a lot like what you see the Sami wearing on the other side of the world. It's almost like the environment dictates culture
You can look at how the Wôbanaki dressed during the summer to see that it's not a stereotype. Though are we really going to get mad at "sexy indian" when costumes like sexy lobster, sexy corn, and sexy french fries exist?
"In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total sIut, and no other girls can say anything about it. The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some sort of animal ears" (Mean Girls)
@@user-ld9tf4td8s I see where you’re coming from and I get what you mean. My family still lives on the rez and of course we wear more or less clothing depending on the environment.
My concern is that everything is sacred and intentional. Each string, each bead, each feather, etc all have a meaning (and this is just clothing). When people use those features with a complete disregard to the culture, in a sole attempt to sexualize themselves (even on an annual occasion), then yes it comes across as more-so mockery in my personal opinion.
I completely agree with you that Halloween is highly sexualized regardless and that people will take any good thing and twist it to be a meaningless fad. Though I think comparing sexualized French fries to a sexualized culture and sacred heritage is very much so comparing apples to oranges.
It saddens me most if anything and it doesn’t stem from a place of wanting to be offended by everything. It comes from a place of knowing that natives have undergone so much is history and have remained one of, if not the most overlooked and disregarded groups of peoples. The world gets angry when people do blackface, but there’s nobody standing up for natives when they do it with our culture.
Which in my eyes, is why I found the representation of the Redskins (especially with blessings from the own tribe and native family) to be beautiful representation. That’s all we’ve ever wanted, beautiful, respectful inclusion, and representation. I know that seems like a stretch to expect that from the whole wide world, but I think our desire to be respected just like anybody else is a valid feeling.
Even in 2020, the Native Americans were like "Why are you doing this? This name and logo aren't offensive to us at all!" Why on earth are we doing this if those we are trying to "protect" aren't even offended in the first place?
Are we trying to erase our Native American pride? Sounds like it. These names are not degrading! Even GM named their trucks after natives. It’s their country FIRST!!
Native Americans are very humble we aren't snowflakes
The "woke" crowd payed a few natives to bitch about it. That's all it took.
I'm a substitute teacher that subs for the Native American studies classes in my school district (Lakota territory) very often and I have learned this about natives. Y'all are so chill!
What's next? "Oven Roasted" at Subway is offensive to Jews? As a Jew myself I'll order an Oven Roasted Chicken Sub with Ruff Greenes right now.

The way he said "It's my fault for letting that hurt me." In regards to a word. It made me pause the video, just to smile.
We never wanted to go away. I haven't watched an NFL game or read a box score since they banished us and I don't expect anything to change. Good riddance.
I was born. My mother is Blackfoot Indian. And my father is scotch Irish. When this c*** was going on. I ask my mom. Did the Washington Redskins. Does that offend you. She said. NO. And. I don't like football. William s
They wont change it back because if they do it'll mean they were wrong. All those at the top got too big of ego's and pride to admit they messed up.
Unfortunately I agree. The gargantuan egos of the NFL owners and commissioner Roger Goodell would never be able to acknowledge that they made a mistake.
The tides are turning. Admitting your mistakes is hot! lol
@@1SadLynn not when you lose tons of sponsorships, which we would if we brought back the name. It’s not just about them becoming “woke” but it’s also a business side that a lot of people are forgetting..
I agree w/
@GOCAPSDMV regarding the business side (E.G. sponsorship, stadium naming rights etc.), however that having been said, the owner that changed the name in the first place no longer owns the team, so there really wouldn’t be an “ego” issue so to speak. Plus the new owner has “slipped” and referred to them as the “Skins” in the past and has intimated at a name change.
New owner tho so maybe he can get by on that
You know, I've been in the military for over 11 years now. Knew a native guy back from my first command that I worked with, and someone asked him why he was fighting for a country that basically took over his. His answer was just "because I still live here" simple as that
Wow, that was such a Zen answer, terrific!
Gotta bring back all the names! Cleveland Indians too!
I’ve been a fan of the Washington Redskins my whole life. I never once thought of it being racist or offensive towards Native Americans. I always looked at the logo and name with pride. I’ve also never met an NFL fan who legitimately thought the name was racist. They will always be the Redskins to me not the commanders.
University of North Dakota also went through something like this - they changed from the Fighting Sioux to the Hawks. The hockey rink never changed - it still has the original logo everywhere so news stations have strategic placements so “no one knows”.
Reminds me of Splash Mountain. After the thousands of times riding that ride with black people, I never once heard anyone say it was "racist".
As someone who has seen the original movie it was based off of many times, I don't even see anything racist in it either
As a Native, I kept saying why should we run Natives off "their" land then run them off LandOLakes? Anything respectful that represents Natives should obviously stay.
Also Redskin, is not talking about skin tone, but color of the war paint.
It is skin tone
@@JLWprime10 I was taught when I was in school back in the 80's that many forts would pay attention to what color the skin was painted, and some were 'festive' colors, but red was the color that meant that someone was going to get attacked (aka they were getting ready for a warpath). I could have been taught wrong.
@@ingiford175 i had a hunch it was related to the face painting but I don't remember where I learned that
I haven’t checked up on this product since I was a kid, but are Dixie cups just called cups now as well
On the Navajo Nation, in Shiprock NM, the middle school's mascot is the Warriors, and the two high school's mascots are the Braves and the Chieftains.
Cherokee here, redskins should have never been changed in the first place. It was a dumb idea. Absolutely nothing bad about the name. For most of us it was a sense of pride!
@@chadallen7474 and I always rooted for the Redskins to beat the Cowboys.
@@protocriteria790 lol me too!
They took away a native american face on the turf at my school and now its just an ugly green, smh
Kinda surprised that the wokies haven't tried to rename the city of Seattle since it was named after native American chief Seattle.
In my country (Australia) they are doing the opposite and re-naming colonial towns and places with indigenous names.
Now no-one knows what place anyone is talking about.
Wasn't Pontiac, MI also named after an American Indian chief?
Or about half of the state of Wisconsin given how many towns amd cities are named after Native American tribes
Never understood how removing Native and African American association with brands was seen as anti-racist, surely its more racist to erase characters from brands just because they are black or native?
