because i hate evilInteresting. Can you list some of the ways, preferably with sources, that Obama is evil? Not ineffective, or things that you just disagree with politically, but actual evil things?
Why don’t you give me a general list of things you consider evil and we’ll see if they match up?

To me, that doesn’t sound particularly political. And the Redskins still have the ability to appeal the decision and have it overturned again, so to me it looks like the system is working as intended.
do you think the IRS political targeting “worked as intended”?
Roy doesn’t have the balls to face the music. When the evidence against his lies piles up too high,he will go out with a lame excuse and say something like he is defending the “kids”, blah, blah, blah. He will try to use his good ole boy with accents of defiance and faux bravado to the bitter end.
This administration does NOT respect the first amendment, private property, and the rule of law. I am not shocked by anything at all they do at this point. It is rule by a total cult of personality at this point. Thank God the Supreme Court is starting to find it’s spine.

I do. Believe you are on the wrong side of this issue as well. 0/2!I assume you seek out church rec leagues to attend, and often request to have them broadcast on TV?
There’s a vast difference between what the average person would consider an amateur, and a D1 athlete.
No, I prefer High School and college sports.
It’s really only our twisted notion of amateurism that stops players from being paid.
Nobody wants to see amateurs play sports.
I do. Believe you are on the wrong side of this issue as well. 0/2!

I disagree with that, but I regretfully acknowledge some feel that way. Most I would like to think feel we should move towards equality and not “Balkanization” in this country across cultural lines. For national unity’s sake.Without getting into free speech, because really, this isn’t a free speech issue, do you agree that words exist that shouldn’t be said?
Okay, within the context of a “polite society” or in the vicinity of women and/or children, sure. I can agree with that.
saw an article the Suns are courting Carmello Anthony and LeBron James…I wouldn’t guess what could happen to TJ should this pan out

The Navajo use it for their High Schools apparently.I understand that. The NFL football team isn’t associated with Native Americans in any way, other than the name and some half ass organization Dan Snyder created.
Does anyone disagree that in this country, at this time, there are words it’s more acceptable for one group to use than another?

What are you even talking about?
Has anyone complained about any of those things?
It’s hilarious that you think “Redskins” is a term of honor and respect, when we’ve already established no one would use it to refer to a Native American person.
And yes, the name “Redskins” does refer to Native American people.
The Navajo use it for their High Schools apparently.
This injury happened prior to him landing here, and all this time I’ve heard these poor young men receive zero for playing basketball in college.
Ok. Thanks. We have found some common ground.
I think you are too hung up on this “would you call someone a redskin” thing. Although it seems to be a strong emotional appeal, it is faulty because:
1) this is a name of a football team, not a personal name or racial slur directed at a person
2) I’ve never ever heard anyone call a tribal american anything other than an Indian
3) this is a term that if it ever did have any derogatory meaning (which is highly spurious based on evidence of their self identification using that term) it has now morphed into totally a descriptor for a football club.
4) not only is it a descriptor for a football club, but it also has positive attributes assigned to itAh, I see.
I don’t know about why the Choctaw identify as okla humma. I really don’t see why it’s relevant. The issue is the word redskin, not oklahoma or any other word that relates to Native Americans.

here is another, why would a tribal american (100% Navajo) high school use the mascot of Redskins?And again, I don’t know, and don’t see why it’s relevant. We’re talking about the Redskins losing their trademark. Unless the high school team’s mascot is trademarked, I don’t see any double standard.
But, while we’re on the subject, most of your examples deal with what Native Americans call themselves. At this point, in this country, it’s generally well accepted that there are words that are offensive, or derogatory, when used by a person of a different race than the person it’s applied to. So again, it’s irrelevant what they call themselves.
If you don’t find these points relevant than to me you are saying it is not relevant whether it is really an offensive term or not.
Can you forget the trademark for a tic, that’s for the courts to decided. Do you want them to change the name or not? And why?
Why would the Choctaw self identify as “red people”?
The name Oklahoma comes from the Choctaw phrase okla humma, literally meaning red people. Choctaw Chief Allen Wright suggested the name in 1866 during treaty negotiations with the federal government regarding the use of Indian Territory, in which he envisioned an all-Indian state controlled by the United States Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Equivalent to the English word Indian, okla humma was a phrase in the Choctaw language used to describe the Native American race as a whole. Oklahoma later became the de facto name for Oklahoma Territory, and it was officially approved in 1890, two years after the area was opened to white settlers
here is another, why would a tribal american (100% Navajo) high school use the mascot of Redskins?

Hope that knife in your pocket is sharp…Doesn’t think it’s derogatory, wouldn’t use it under certain conditions. Makes perfect sense.
Will not answer direct questions about faulty logic or concede a single point despite being proven wrong.
I DO NOT think it is derogatory under any circumstances.
Hope that knife in your pocket is sharp…
Do what?
