what comes to this kind of nonsense, the white liberals are the biggest douche bags in the world. i read that blackhawks' logo has also created some sort of controversy

You're being silly. These are national teams, even if the Redskins have sucked as a team more years than they haven't (ask !@#$%! he surely knows:cool: ) they still play several primetime, nationally televised games, they are the team for the nation's capital, and by default the team of the White House. That is powerful symbolism that an obviously offensive term is used so casually on a national stage and under the spotlight with no scrutiny?

If it were the San Francisco Chinks, the San Diego Wetbacks, or the Brooklyn Shilocks wouldn't it be as obvious? Ok, my sister is a Hopi indian so maybe I'm biased :confused:



Redskins are probably the only American team that really does border on offensive. Of course High School teams like "Savages" or "Reds" are probably worse.

I think Braves, Chiefs, Warriors, Indians, Blackhawks, those aren't necessarily used in the pejorative sense, if anything the opposite. However the term Redskins is offensive just about anyway you slice the cake. Is it the most offensive? Not necessarily, though looking at the picture !@#$%! posted, I'd say the term "Redskins" fits much more in that racist context that Indians. Of course, considering how much Cleveland teams SUCK, that is probably more so what American Indians are offended by than the name itself ;)

Just love how white folk displace, kill, rape, and exterminate entire nations of native American people then cheer for teams named after racial stereotypes.

Has there ever been a superbowl between the cowboys and the indians?

The Indians are MLB baseball. The Cowboys play both in the same Conference (NFC) and also Division (NFC East) as the Washington DC Redskins, so while they've never played a Superbowl together (Superbowl is AFC vs NFC), they do play two games a year and have a historic rivalry.. They've played against each other in the NFC Championship game (which determines the Superbowl) three times, and the Cowboys lost all three. Cowboys have 5 Superbowl victories, Redskins have 3, though most of that is ancient history. Redskins won their first NFC East Division title last season.

yes but you're still white.

WHITE LIBERAL. ;)


right but as i've mentioned i've seen plenty natives who love the redskins and don't give a shit about the name or don't think it's offensive. they like that it's an indian on the logo and they say cool. many natives identify with the term "red." the native version of the oreo is the apple. and so on.

look here for example. i haven't met this guy, but there you go, he's proud of the redskins:

these "offensive" terms usually get appropriated by their targets. like queer, or nigga, or obamacare.

and seriously, the san diego wetbacks would be an awesome name. i'd be an instant fan.

Yes but then both the Chargers AND the Wetbacks would come to LA and San Diego would be all the more devastated ;)

better yet make it the mojados. since it's gonna be yr official language.

Los Mojados de San Diego

Los Tigres del Norte

Los Hijos de la Chingada

etc.

okey. let's talk fútbol, mierda.

Black Lions looking to get the win on Saturday. GO ETHIOPIA!!

the win for what? qualifiers?

Yes, exactly. Its the FIFA CAF Qualifiers final round.

oh. it's international break again? i'm completely out of the loop right now. fuck!

alright. thanks for that reminder.

USA plays tomorrow but they already clinched it. Ethiopia is playing Nigeria. There are several other teams still playing to qualify as well over the weekend.. I understand, Euro league soccer is on, but its NFL season so I don't pay attention. International soccer is my game, its a summer sport when NFL and NBA are in the off-season ;)

Since Finland has no chance qualifying, I jumped on Iceland's bandwagon

Another magical Klinsmann substitution in the second half and Zusi's first goal sparked a rally. 2-0 win for USA and now they sit on top of their group. Mexico is fighting for its slot, but with Honduras' win its going to be tough for them, and it requires things going their way both with their wins and other group losses.

Big win for England last night. The 4-1 score flattered them a bit but it was a potential banana skin game so it's all good.

What about Holland, though? Didn't see the game but 8-1 against Hungary! Wow.

i hate the god damn international breaks!

Yeah, although another big international day on Tuesday, albeit only for the countries (like England) that still need to qualify. I'm not a huge England fan and there were times on Friday when I thought it'd be funny if we lost and ended up not qualifying, but I quickly remembered how dead it felt the last time I had to watch a big tournament we didn't get to (Euro 2008).

Hey! France won! 6-0! I couldn't spot any midfielder in the Australian team (2 shots in total, none on target), hence the amount of blue goals - all of which were beautiful, bar the wrongly awarded penalty.
It could have been more than that, except that the keeper suddenly had enough and paried a lot of the subs' attempts.
Best attacking display since a 5-0 victory over Scotland in the golden Zidane days (I think that was shortly after Robert Pirès' injury). What happened after that was a slow decay that started with a loss to Belgium and a terrible 2002 World Cup exit.
Les Bleus, in all their humility, are heading towards the play-offs.
Who wants a bite of cheese? Portugal? England?
Looking forward to hearing about Burkina Faso's second leg game against Algeria.
