We are into the early weeks of
football season. Already we have seen
some shenanigans from divas who believe their puny thoughts trump everyone
else’s.
That jerk from the 49’ers who so
badly demanded press, got it. The next
week, a smattering of other wanna-bes who climbed on the media-whore train
received some press, too.
But other stuff has been
happening throughout the NFL since the season opener a few weeks ago.
One of the major problems in the
football league is the offensive names of some of the teams.
It seems as though over the past
several years America
Upon examination, the names of
the teams have been around for years and years without issue. Today, however, the easily-offended among us have
selected a cause to keep them busy without any redeeming value to society as a
whole.
The elite have refused to say the
word “Redskins” as a team name because, according to the elite, is derogatory
toward Indians.
There I go again. “Indians” seems to be a bad word, too.
Those elites feel as if you use
Indians to describe a nationality of people, those indigenous people will be
offended.
Now when I say Indian people, I
mean the Indians who are known by tribe names such as Hopi, Mohawk’s, Seneca’s,
and so on. The reason these folks were
identified as Indians is because Christopher Columbus landed on pre-America
land and mistook the indigenous as Middle East Indians.
That was not derogatory; it was a
mistake. Nonetheless, the ill-informed
elites claim the name Redskins is suddenly offensive because the Indians of
America fame are denoted as savages and easily identified as having skin that
is redder in appearance than Columbus and his crew.
Allow me to try to assist the
elite better explain their position for ridding the country of this
overly-offensive moniker.
These elites would like teams in
violent contact sports such as football to be more demure. The mere idea of two men running into one
another, causing contusions, broken bones, and concussions, is not as
frightening and disturbing as uttering the word Redskins.
Of course if the name of the team
was changed, it would only be “a good first step.” Next, we would be awash with debates about which
uniform colors were acceptable, eventually ending all the carnage. Period.
We have seen debates about the
color of coaches, number of women being locked-out of these games as players, rampant
drug use, steroids, and how we should accept players who beat their spouses.
Instead we are force-fed disdain
for non-black America by
ill-informed black America
