Very significant support was their for keeping name redskins and Indians. They weren’t racist. That’s a totally baseless slander. It is a part of American history and heritage. U must believe that the Vikings and fighting Irish are racist as well?

Redskins is directly related to racism. it’s a racist term used against the indigenous people of America longer then footballs been a sport. So shut the fuck up and don’t compare it to Vikings or the Irish. Did they get genocide by the US government? Nooo 🫢 ohhhhh

You’re using a lot of hand waving to say there was a lot of support. For a decades people have been asking sports teams to stop using old racist stereotypes, and tropes for their franchises. The symbols are racist stereotypes!! It was made by racists decades ago

Once again, the N-word is racist. It might’ve been used way more often in the past, it might’ve been used all the time for naming black people, it was still racist! It had a lot of meaning to it, and it was racism. Red skin is a derogatory term used to degrade Native Americans in the past and now.
