Thunderview News - thunderview.blogspot.com

I'm a fan of the Washington Redskins.

Save for the acquisition of the least talented Quarterback prospect in the NFL draft in several decades to garner a first round pick (and a three year draft mortgage of picks to go with it), I fully support this team in most aspects and have done so since 1970.

In today's world, we have people who think they have a constitutional right not to be offended.   I swear, we have grown adults with so little integrity that they think that they can dictate what is acceptable to say or to print based upon how they are offended; and make no mistake, these same schmucks think that their level of being offended is the only level that matters, and to hell with the rest of us who might be offended by what they do.

Origins of the Washington Redskins' Name

I understand that those who whine the loudest in today's world aren't the ones who are the most informed, so it is surprising that those who claim the "Redskins" is a racist term are actually showing their own racism by not only knowing this, but repeating it over and over.   In short, if something is racist, why do you continue to bring that to the forefront of the news where the damage of invoking the name is perpetuated?

Before the Washington Redskins there was the Boston Braves - and in the early years of professional football teams got their names from the local pro baseball team - the Chicago Bears were the Cubs and the Boston Braves were named after the baseball team there.

Teams tend to relocate and the Boston Braves baseball team moved to Atlanta and the Boston Braves (Redskins)  football team moved to Washington after having changed their names when they no longer played in the Boston Braves' stadium.

From the Boston Globe published on July 6th, 1933:

FOOTBALL BRAVES BECOME REDSKINS

"It will be the Boston Redskins, and not the Boston Braves when the National Football League season gets under way next Fall. When Pres George Marshall entered an eleven from Boston in the professional football league last year the team was naturally christened the Boston Braves, but yesterday, just before starting for Chicago to attend the League’s annual meeting, he announced the change in name.

This new name is rather appropriate in more than one sense. The head and since the close of the 1932 season Pres Marshall and Coach Dietz have signed up a number of Indian players.1 Not only that, but the Boston National League ball park has long been called the Wigwam."

It is interesting that what now passes itself as the enlightened ones, the leftist, neo-communist, progressive North was where all this controversy started!

The origins of the name "Redskins" is certainly not predicated on inferring or offering any racial slur - it is thus in the minds of the outsider that has natural racist tendencies to associate "Redskins" with anything racial - it is those who whine the most that are the racists in this discussion - they infer and then they pass off their own racial bias onto other innocent people and symbols.   It should be noted that the Redskins' logo is nothing more than a colorized version of what was once an official coin of the United States.

There are discussions in various sources that the Redskins name was also supported by indian players on the team and used to recognize them.  Oddly enough none of them felt the name was racist.

Is This Really About The Owner's Politics?

Knowing how today's leftist, progressive, neo-communist Democrat is a petty and vindictive and mightily uninformed blivethead, it does not take much of an imagination to think that given how the IRS was used against the enemies of Progressives and Leftists, that the Patent Office would be used to punish someone who supported Mitt Romney in the last election - and that Daniel Snyder tends to back Republicans over their dogs, the Democrats.

We know that today's leftist is a spiteful lil bitch - they claim to want negotiations, but that only means that those who oppose them give up their ideals and to accept the leftists' ideals; when confronted and challenged, the left will whine like  a stuck pig and launch vendettas that are nasty and vicious and never based on facts.   So it goes that Snyder is both unpopular as an owner and having been on the wrong side of the political tracks from the Messiah Obama.

It used to be that true Democrats - those who practiced their craft up to the JFK era were learned and responsible, but slowly over the next five decades Democrats were replaced with Socials, Neo-Communists, and Progressives who are not Democrat at all - they have narrow viewpoints and don't care about the people they advocate for - they just use those people as political pawns while enriching themselves in the process - so Daniel Snyder is a public enemy - and an easy one since he is brash and arrogant himself - and he happens to have a team name that can be fashioned into a racial slur - and the more that the racial slur angle is repeated, the more true it becomes supplanting the reality of the history.

Yet, we have to ask ourselves, when was the last time that any Indian has been called "Redskin" to his or her face?    We know that the Black Americans (they are no more African than I am) call themselves the N word but find indignation when someone else does it - thus offering a racist perspective in a situation where they want to resolve racism.     So, if Redskin is truly racist, let's get those who have been called that name and put into Fed Ex Field that can hold 80,000 and see how significant the filled seats looks like!

To me, however, as a fan, I have grown up with the beautiful logo (and the spear) and the nauseating "hail to the redskins" which makes every Dallas Cowpie fan cringe - all of that disappears with a new name - and don't tell me you would buy a Honda if it were renamed something else or if your beloved Apple were renamed - something is lost in the process - a love and respect.

I could understand indians being upset with the Redskins when they sucked, but you can't tell me that these same racist asswipes were offended when Redskins were winning the Big Game (can't use the real name lest the NFL sue me!).

Meanwhile over in Cleveland, a hot bed of leftist union asslicking, the Indians have a logo that is so stereotypical that it is tantamount of black face on a white person.   And since that team is based in a leftist enclave it will never be touched.

So when you hear the uproar over the Redskins understand this haters, "Go Fock Yourselves!" - Redskins fans love their team, name, logo, and players.   We have no intention of changing our love over your own prejudices that  you exhibit.   At no time do we sing "hail to the redskins" to insult anyone other than the opposing team.   And wearing a Redskins' logo is about respecting the traditions and legacy of the team, not about insulting people who walked across a land bridge and proceeded to make many mammals extinct while hiding behind multicultural circle jerkoffs.

  1. The following is a statement from the National Congress of American Indians:

    The term "Redskins" is not and has never been one of honor or respect, but instead, it has always been and continues to be a pejorative, derogatory, denigrating, offensive, scandalous, contemptuous, disreputable, disparaging and RACIST designation for Native Americans.

    1. And there are indian groups who have no problem with it.

      Back to square one for you.

      And you have yet to find anyone in 2014 who is an indian who has been called a redskin. I'd contend that people no longer associate "redskin" as a slur as it is most likely that no one associates "gay" with "happy" and now has been turned into the word describing "homosexuals".

      We have seen with the bastardization of "marriage" that words change over time.

      So much for Redskin being anything other than a football team or a potato.

    1. Actually, you are wrong - the bastards who are whining even object to the logo. They have their shorts all bunched up over nothing.
