American Indians today see the term “Redskins” as being a sign of respect and admiration of the American Indian culture. So, woke left – You seem to be the one’s hating on the American Indians and taking away places where they are being respected. You made up your own facts, which are just flat out lies and you are devaluing yet another race of people.
Example: “Redskins…That’s a historic, that’s a fighter.” This same man then refers to Apache helicopters, Navajo Code Talkers and even citing “Geronimo”
There are some who are offended and are very vocal. However, a study states that 9 out of 10 Native Americans are NOT offended. Over 504 people were polled. One such person polled said, “The Washington Redskins team, our fans and community have always believed our name represents honor, respect and pride. Today’s Washing Post polling shows Native Americans agree.
Special note, is that some of the activists refer to George Floyd as being a catalyst for the “victory” they received in getting the Washington Redskins name changed.
