Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[HoleInTheRoof]

Will the Redskins change their name? It's waaaaaaayyyyy overdue imo.

As a former die hard Cowboys fan, I used to detest the redskins, and redskins fans. That said, I ought to be naturally inclined to liking anything that causes them consternation. However, I think the motion to change the name is ridiculous.

At the tail end of my time living in the Hampton Roads area (southeastern VA, very much skins country), there was a lot of talk in the media about this. I don't know if I've not heard anything about it because I don't live there anymore, or if it had gone away.

My thought is this... the term "Redskin" might've been originally deemed an derogatory term for Indians, but throughout the history of language you can find examples of words changing meaning. For example, the word "girl" used to mean any small child - boy or..... girl. At some point in time, and I don't remember exactly when or why anymore, but it became only associated with female children.

Its my thinking that if you walk up to virtually every living person today and say the term "Redskins", they're gonna think either (a) Football team or (b) Potato.

Besides, going back to when I lived there and this was a media driven hot topic, there was all sorts of evidence where actual american indian groups were not offended by it, and most even took a bit of pride in it. So to me the whole "racist" thing seems like white guilt politician grandstanding/gaslighting.

Dan Snyder, back then, made a proclamation that he would never change the team name. I hope he sticks to it.

It was an Osprey

It did look like an osprey.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Once again. They have the option of not playing

I agree.... But can just imagine how that will go over if there are not at least some fans.

Effing eagles man...

These Filippino eagles actually hunt and eat those 5.5 wingspan bats I posted last week

That is colored like an osprey, but it doesn't have the crest that makes them so distinguishable.

You don't even need to see it's color. The fish being carried head first is unique to Ospreys.

Tennessee adds FCS offensive coordinator as analyst

Best way to vet future hires.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I think at this point if we do have football in the fall, there won’t be any fans period.

NFL will be a go no matter

Wasn’t there supposed to be “fireworks” today?

Cool story..a couple of years ago when we visited Yellowstone, ospreys had built a nest right on top of a little red spire down lower on the Canyon walls...I only saw one, but it was absolutely stunning to watch it flying around below us.

I don't mind some discontent or even some peaceful discussion or protest. But what has been going on recently is neither.I am glad see them finally locking some of the punks up.

You can definitely protest without resorting to violence and breaking the law.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I thought we were talking about the video my bad

I didn't see it...my bad I still don't see a video.

 

[drvenner]

They're homers in our local media like most places.

Care to name a couple other than Bert Bertlecamp and Tim Priest?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Wait. So the dude is a Jorts AND a Feathered bangs fan?

Why works for a TN site??? gtfo with that ****. Dude just hit Butch Jones level for me.

They're going to play 4-5 days a week to maximize revenue

 

[tn88volfan]

Change to "sullieds" and it fits DC perfectly.

i may have used the wrong name but the unsullied were the game of thrones men with no sacks

[RikidyBones]

I’m going to miss Simonton’s level headed, unbiased analysis. It’s better when all the reporters aren’t homers.

lol k.
