    The majority of polls I've seen say no.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That's actually an awesome logo. Even forgetting the problematic aspects of the current logo, just on pure aesthetics, this Redtail logo is far, far superior.

    No fair naming a big league sports team after a fantasy figure. You don't see the Cleveland Unicorns do you.

    I like it. I'm pretty sure they won every air battle they were in. Out of Tuskegee, don't you know.

    They use to have a good history of winning teams under George Allen in the 70s.

    Down here at Fort Stevens, campground packed out.
    Most social distancing within their sites.
    Everyone wearing mask at check in and the stores near by. But it seems like a typical Busy summer day day in Astoria/Warrenton,
    Happy for the merchants and small businesses that are able to do some business.

    Well there was the Titanic and there are people born exceptionally large such as Andre the Giant.

    You make things way too easy...Try reading the rest of my comments in this thread before embarrassing yourself, again ...by jumping to conclusions, again.

    Seems like you have some sort of misguided "hard on" for me...I'm not really sure why...and I really don't care.

    So you DO have native american friends who have told you how they feel about this topic? I don't think I've ever embarrassed my self on here to be honest. You obviously DO care what I think or you wouldn't reply. The only embarrassment is that you honestly don't believe these names are offensive.

    Still having trouble with reading everything I said, I see. And sorry, but just because I reply to someone doesn't mean I actually care.

    And yes, you did embarrass yourself the other day by "assuming" that you knew what I meant when I posted a picture targeted at some people on here playing the "victim card"...and you arbitrarily mis-inferred my intent and decided that it was some sort of insult because one of your relatives had been raped...you never even bothered to ask what I meant and "assumed" the worst.....yeah, I'd say that was an embarrassing moment.

    ...the way I feel on this issue is based on what I've already said (post #21). "The majority of polls I've seen say no.

    It’s about damn time

    I mean really, it doesn’t take a stable genius to realize “redskin” is at the least inflammatory (and has no place in sports) and at the worst pretty fucking racist
