Native American groups slam Trump call to bring back Redskins name
Two Native American groups on Monday condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to block a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team restores its old and controversial Redskins name.

How many Native Americans do you think it is OK to offend? Just a ballpark figure.
Trump is worried, so he is deflecting like a madman. You have to wonder what a president would bring up something like this? It is not because he or anyone else is being hurt by their name change? Trump is deflecting attention away from his tariff disasters and Epstein. And, the Trumpys fall right in line. The ones here cannot figure out how Trump manipulates them.
Oh looky! ANOTHER Native American that @TOP couldn't give one fuck about:
"The name is racist that's what you've got to understand," said Chief Tayac. "Don't believe what I tell you, look it up in Webster's Dictionary for the Washington Football Team. I don't like to say the word, but it's Redskin. See what it means. It's a racial slur for Native Americans. It's derogatory."

LOL...that sound like a confession...
"choose" to be offended. Like you choose to be offended by "retard"
Well, retard it is, then I guess.
That was an interesting picture...I'd love to sit down with the NA carrying those signs and chat...
In the meantime, I'm lobbying for a return to the Cleveland Indians...the Tribe is on a win streak right now...
Why do you think you are superior to native Americans such that their feelings don't matter but yours do?
