as will I, for the most part its over sensitive, politically correct warriors that make a mountain out of a bump. Is it justified? sometimes. But way to often things are being blown out of proportion and something like the washington redskins name is one of them. suck it up buttercup the name wasnt made to slander or insult anyone and anyone offended by it is likely just bitching for the sake of bitching
Shows me you think you have the right to say or call anyone anything and its all ok cuz well you just think so.
Forget politics and how about jus have respect for people.

first off the "you cant win with the natives, because its all white man labels" was a tongue in cheek comment, but in a way not so sarcastic because I've heard ppl ***** about every name thrown out there, the funniest was hearing that some people dont like being called canadian. I wont get into why I know derogatory terms are more offense to people who've lived thru hate crimes because thats a long ass spiel but should be prettym obvious it hits closer to home with them. True you dont have to be a victim of racism to take offense to slurs, but from the people I know its usually the ones whove been to cultural hell and back (residential schools) that appreciate their culture a hell of a lot more, take pride in their culture a hell of a lot more and stand up for it a hell of a lot more. My friends my age who are the kids of these people, are proud of who they are and where they come from, but arent so easily rattled by what is usually harmless ****
Your post is absolute garbage
Im sorry but you are wrong and your why race is a problem.
lol yeah ok
Ill stand by my post

i could go on a rant, but ill bet it is true.
Bet you cant.... And why you wont. And even if you do it wont matter.
So far what your saying is incorrect so go on and talk.
The ones that feel or felt it shrug their shoulders to the crap. Its the young ones that will be offended by stupid people that continue they crap that will make the difference.
Its actual people like you that come out and say stupid **** like .. We cant never please the Natives or The Natives cant be pleased that cause the actual problems.
I dont give a **** what you are.
You come across as a weak person.

Im metis, but ill say that TUP's point about ppl nothing being able to tell a name from a slur is right, but I think it more has to do with individuals and their life experiences. Most ppl having been victims of racism will usually be quick to go on the offensive. Those who havent can usually move past it or at least see what intent was behind it, whether it was malicious or not.
theres a page on fb called n8v beauties and its full of crap like native culture isnt a white girls costume. I notice it doesnt call out any other races but white ppl despite it been worn by all sorts. Most native ppl dont even care cuz they realize its halloween, I just shake my head ultimately cuz its now a racial issue
Id bet thats not true at all.
-
Agree New. Why people can't tell the difference between a name and a slur is rather shocking
Perhaps they can detail all the times they've used the word
redskin in conversation that didn't involve sports.
Yes

New I apologize. I misread your quote. I'm watching a movie, following hockey online and replying on here
I apologize!
Eh No prob at all dude..... I kinda figured.
Im doing the same.
Cheers

I had a great post and lost it but Ill paraphrase.
You tend to do this in a lot of threads where your opinion is the correct one and whoever doesn't follow it is a racist or doesn't know what they're talking about or is just plain wrong.
People like you need to get off your high horse.
You've already lost the debate if you're going to break out rhetoric and nonsense like that. How often do you express your opinion and think its wrong? Where is the logic behind your statement that I express that my opinion is the correct one. ofcourse I think my opinion is correct. If I thought it was wrong it wouldnt be my opinion. But its still an OPINION.
You dont know me. Im not politically correct for political correctness sake. I suppose you are correct in that the N word is used a lot. I anxiously await when a major sport names a team the Las Vegas N'ers.
I tend to think teams like Blackhawks and Braves chose those names out of a sense of honor. I havent done the research. But to me, choosing those names was to imply the honor, courage, fighting spirt of the people.
Redskins? Come on. This isnt me saying Im right and you're a racist. Im subscribing to common sense and logic. And if you think thats me just dismissing your opinion, well all I can say is yes I think if you believe Redskin is a suitable and acceptable way to describe Aboriginal people, then you are wrong.
I think people on both sides (but mostly the ones who support the name) have formed opinions without doing some research. So a little paraphrased history:
Those against the term generally subscribe to the idea that "Redskin" refers to the scalped heads of Aboriginal people slaughtered by white men. But more often than not, this isnt the case (though I'd strongly assume the term *was* used in that context but not specifically). "Red Skin" originated with Aboriginals as a way to describe themselves to differentiate from "White Skins". So it was originally a benign term. Red Skin and White Skin used much like we'd say Black and White today without any negative racial connotations.
But then again, the N word was used in every day conversations in the 1800's and no one thought it was racist. It sure is now though isnt it? And thats the issue here. Its not what the word used to mean or what its intent is. If the original namers of the Washington Redskins intended the name as an honor of Aboriginal people, then great for them. But if a football team from 1890 was called the Tennesee N'ers, would that name still exist today? Ofcourse not. Not even a discussion.
Personally, in my experience (i have Aboriginal siblings, friends and ex'es) many Aboriginal people use the term "Indian" to describe themselves and others without negative connotation. But never have I heard them use the word Redskin.
I've never heard the term used, outside of sports, in a non-offensive way. Have you? Do you ever have conversations with people where you discuss "Redskins"? I doubt it. Why not? We both know why.
My opinion doesnt make me right. And you're assertion that I think Im right is not a reasonable counter argument.
Id agree with this.
Another example of being wrong unfortunately.
High horse. Hilarious. Much rather be right than ignorant.
Im wrong? lol

Im more refering to the fighting sioux which was a hot topic before with same premise. I lived on a reserve and have many native friends. Plenty of them call themselves indians, and for sake of debate, the native community refer to themselves as the red portion on the medicine wheel, or circle of life...ect
May i ask what your background is?
As for your thing with the Sioux ... Its different because its a Tribe. Its not the same issue and calling you team the Redskins.
Sioux , Cree and so on. Its more a trademark money thing rather then a race. Use their name.... Pay them.

Do u think the irish would have an issue with notre dame?
No.... and im guessing thats his point. The Irish are Irish.
Your not calling them something they dont call themselves

U cant win with the natives, some dont like being called indians, some dont like being called aboriginal. Hell some dont like to be called canadian either. Its all a white man label. As much as ur awaiting the las vegas n'ers, (lol btw) I waiting for the university of north dakota fighting you guys. Ppl need to stop droppin the racial card cuz that's usually what makes it about race to begin with
LOL
Native is pretty much acceptable. Aboriginal is pretty much also. Indians come from India. We are all Canadians thats a name meant for ALL or us here not just one race of people.
Polish people prolly dont like to be called pollacks or polls, and this can be said for many races of people.
Its not that you just cant win with the Natives.

As for the snow clearing thing.... Id say dont complain unless you have tried it.
I have drove a plow in this city the last few years. Go try it and then you can complain about it.
My advice if its to be done better and faster.
When out driving and you see it being done? Go away and let them remove it.
The amount of people that seem to want to drive in the way of what im doing is remarkable to me. I was shocked the first year i did it.
Sry for the rant... I live on both sides.

Not sure I'm thrilled to see Wade back.
Why?
Maybe cause Pav has not changed his style of play?
Im more of a Pavs fan than not. But I felt that if he was under-performing expectations for two or three years then maybe it was time to change the coach, not hope the same player in the same system with the same coach suddenly improves. But Im not outraged or anything. Hopefully it works out.
Fair enough

Pav made it to the NHL playing his game. Then you want a coach to change it?
Tweek it maybe but you dont change it.

No, no.....you beat the blitz with 3 yd curls, thrown at the receiver's feet.....
LOL Guys going to get someone killed

5 days isn't rushed, it's the opposite of rushed.
5 or 6 guys they are discussing tonight won't be on the field tomorrow and won't have any more chances to make the team. Most, if not all of them, didn't have much more of a chance on Thursday or Friday or Saturday or today.
Tell you what.... Lets just agree to disagree yet again and move on to discussing who we actually cut tomorrow.
Guys will be cut as the rules show.
Its not rushed and its not dragged on. They are allowed the time. Why would you not use the time?
We need to build a football team here. Its sucked for years. Lets take the time and figure it out id say.

I obviously don't share the same confidence in how well Marve reads defences as you do, or how good he's looked in TC...in training camp.I wouldn't be too surprised, that after the dust settles, and barring no QB injuries, that Robert Marve might be the odd man out. This pre-season will be very important for ole no-knees.
That's ridiculous considering the way he played last year and so far in TC.
If anything, Brohm should be the odd man out, or relegated to third or fourth stringer duty. He's completely immobile and lacks accuracy. There's nothing about him that's attractive except a strong arm.
This is why he has to show progress in any chance he gets in pre-season games.
Listen, I like the way Marve ad-libbed his way through his playing time last year, but I don't want my QBs to always be scrambling to make plays if he's missed his reads.
Marve wants to leave next year, and if Portis and Yantz show well in their time, it wouldn't bother me to see Marve leave earlier.
If hes always running for his life then ya its a problem. But hes not a pocket passer so maybe his reaction to what he sees is different and wants to move to make time or get himself in a better position.
Quarterbacking doesn't really work like that. Everything is based on when he's throwing the ball and where he's going to be throwing the ball from. There are designed rollouts, "scrambles," and there's just flying by the seat of your pants which is mostly what Marve did last year. When it works it's exciting, like driving full speed towards the edge of the cliff and then slamming on your brakes before you go off the edge. When you go off the edge, it's not that exciting. Over the long haul it's not really a sustainable way to run an offence because it is extremely easy to defend, and that's why the vast majority of the scrambling QB's who can't really move the ball with their arm from the pocket fizzle out pretty quickly.
I need to see Marve make some plays in the pocket before I get excited about him as a legit CFL prospect.
Ya im not so sure about this.
