I could probably figure one out, but polls are numbers, generated by people, that can be a little dishonest on the internet. That's why I'm only asking for comments; by real people or extremely talented bots.
So, I have a question:
During all this hoopla about the name "Washington Redskins", do you actually know anyone that's offended by the name? If so, did you ask for a reason? If you're offended, explain to me why.
I'm holding my breath; don't make me pass out.
Hell No, Kemosabi.
ReplyDeleteIt's a little known fact, but the Lone Ranger never forgave Tonto, after he found out Kemosabi meant "chicken shit".
DeleteI know one guy who says that he is offended, but he is offended by most anything that does not toe the "progressive" line.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope he's not in a position of authority, or has an important job.
DeleteNo, and my grandmother was Creek.
ReplyDeleteThat makes your opinion more valuable than Harry Reid's.
DeleteNo. Those I've talked to think it is political correctness run amok.
ReplyDeleteI become amazed at the reasons some people get butt-hurt.
DeleteNot me, but I think the less fortunate Indians (with no casino money) have rocked the boat sometime ago.
ReplyDeleteThey need to move to Washington, District of Columbia...take a few scalps...I have a few potential contributors in mind.
DeleteMost of us are part indian. All my mom was missing was a feather in her hair.
ReplyDeleteThe Redskins signifies indians just like Panthers signify panthers and Black Panthers signify.....aw hell. Nevermind. Polls usually have three options: yes, no, and not sure. I've always wondered why a person would go to the trouble to take a poll regarding their opinion if they're not sure to begin with.
The ones who take umbrage are usually pissed off about everything anyway, and I even doubt that an indian was the one who got their knickers in a knot over the word.
I think some people like polls, because they think it's important; like the Nielsen Television Survey.
DeleteI took that years ago. I was all proud, thinking how important my opinion was, and they sent me two quarters for my effort....cheap bastards.
I live near Eastern Michigan University.
ReplyDeleteIt's is located on the Huron River.
The team was the Hurons.
The Logo was honorable. http://ipsite.org/219s
Not a caricature.
Now they are the Eagles. At least they are not the emu's.
Local indians were offended that the name was being changed as they thought it honored them.
That didn't matter.
The liberal's feelings are all that matters.
It's insanity and anyone with the tiniest ability to reason, knows this without any doubt.
