I agree with Trip. Redskins is a racist name and should be replaced. It isn't a tribal group like Seminoles, Illini, Sioux, etc. that you could argue is the Native American equivalent of European groups like the Vandals, Vikings, Highlanders, etc.∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 6:45 pmNah, it's literally a racist name. From 2014:
I remember this issue for at least 15 years now (if not longer). REALLY hope its finally coming to a head this time around.
ps. DC won't allow the Redskins to move back to RFK site unless they change the name. Good stuff.

Re: Cancel Culture thread
The NFL has completely bent the knee (pun intended). There’s no WAY the Redskins take the field as the Redskins ever again.

Nah, many problems can be solved at once but some are tougher than others. The abuse of overseas labor is an issue that's being tackled, but that one is a grind and takes time. It also requires a complete overhaul of capitalism (something I doubt you approve of).CID1990 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:02 pmYou’re more worried about whose logos they sell than you are by their overseas labor practices∞∞∞ wrote:Also Nike just removed all Redskins items off their site.

Nike's day will come too. And your 401 (and mine) too. Gonna be a radical decade or two.

it is as much a part of the script as the misery, authoritarianism, and eventual failure of all peasant revolts, ever

The NFL is changing their name to The CKB - Colin Kaepernick's Bitches
I think they should hire him as CEO and keep Goodell as his assistant to make coffee

Not it's not. LeBron and the NBA keep bending the knee to China, one of this biggest abusers of labor (and lives), all to get into that market. These people, and most of the celebrity SJW's, couldn't give 2 fucks about actual change.∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:08 pmNah, many problems can be solved at once but some are tougher than others.

Re: Cancel Culture thread
So you have no Nike gear? But you support their “social justice’ campaign despite the skeletons in their own closet....which makes you no better than the average NBA player.

Heck, I think someone finally got into Daniel Snyder's ear and let him know that he could make a fortune out of a name change considering the amount of new merchandise that will have to be purchased to replace the old merchandise. Heck, he could go for a two-fer in this climate and pick that Red-Tails name and even get the SJW/BLM buy in for it. These guys, like the NBA folks, follow the money. Ultimately, it's always about the money.SDHornet wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 8:47 amNot it's not.

Re: Cancel Culture thread
A bunch of people in media, entertainment, and academia signed a letter condemning cancel culture.
https://www.mediaite.com/news/j-k-rowli ... l-culture/
Naturally, a lot of blue cbeckmarks on Twitter are really livid. One Vox writer Tweeted a letter she wrote to her boss to report Matt Iglesias for it, saying it made her feel "unsafe". This is a letter that Noam Chomsky signed.
Just start calling these people "the alt left".
