Just go back to this helmet and call yourself the Washington Apaches.

The Washington Maroons. You know, because of their team color and all.

The Pottsville Maroons have a place in NFL history. Personally, I think it is a pretty great name.

The word's other meaning is kind of funny in this context, though.

what was the story about the Oneida indian tribe in New York regarding this?

Edit: They are doing a lot of radio ads lobbying for the name to change...

But they paid a school who changed its mascot from the Redskins name $10,000.00 to go to new logos and uniforms. That's what I was thinking about.

I'm with TE... the name is going to change, it's just a matter of time.

Next PETA will take offense to the Eagles, Falcons, Rams, Jaguars, Dolphins, Panthers, Seahawks, Ravens, Bengals, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals, Bears, Lions, and Buffalo the city and team will need it's name changed. As well as why not sue the estate of Buffalo Bill, can't have that name forever ya know?

And while we are at it. I think the Cowboys, Forty Niners, Patriots, Texans, Titans, Giants, and of course the Saints are hitting a little to close to a non term of endearment. Let's change their names to be more in line with what folks wouldn't get the wrong idea.


Seriously, the world is going to shit around us and this... THIS is has got to be done to avenge what the white man did to the Indians that did it to another tribe before them and the Mexicans did afterwards. Well, the Spanish, French, and English of course. I mean shit. Why have names at all. Every fucking word is offensive to somebody. Let's assign everyone a random number when they born as well as companies. Web addresses should all be ip as well.

Why use terms like cup? There are folks in the world that have to just use their hands. And also there are folks that can't use their hands so lets cut off everyone's hands. And feet while we are at it.

Fucking sissified Country on the verge of turning into half whits and cry babies.

Fucking grow up already.

If half the money these liberal nut jobs are spending on campaigning went to say the Native American College Fund then they can change the name all they want. Unfortunately non of them would give an exhaust fume from their BMW to actually help Native Americans.
