Here’s What NINE Out Of TEN Native Americans Think About The ‘Redskins’ Name!

You would think that after years of bitter acrimony brought on by debating whether the Washington NFL team’s name is offensive to Native Americans that SOMEONE might have had the bright idea to actually ASK Native Americans what they thought!
Yeah, seriously, like it took 5 years.
Here’s what they said:
Nine in 10 Native Americans say they are not offended by the Washington Redskins name, according to a new Washington Post poll that shows how few ordinary Indians have been persuaded by a national movement to change the football team’s moniker.
The survey of 504 people across every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the exact same result. Responses to The Post’s questions about the issue were broadly consistent regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations.
So the owner of the Redskins totally ran with this, and hopefully we don’t have to debate this stupid crap anymore.
Because what’s better than white liberals telling Native Americans that they should be offended at football and Native Americans telling them to screw off?
I can’t think of anything at the moment.
