You've never lived in Canada. You don't know what its like! Until you've been in that situation, you don't have a voice.
LOL...and I won 103,496 Bass tournaments.I have lived in Canada, so I'll wait for your next lame attempt..
Redskins fan here. Spot on. There’s a difference.Just my opinion - There is a distinct difference between names like redskins (a culturally tinted slur) and those like chiefs/braves (depicting specific members of strength within a culture - not unlike Titans, Senators, or Cowboys). Names that depict entire tribes/nations (Illini, Blackhawks, Seminoles, etc) are perhaps a little less distinctive, but still are not steeped in stereotypes (very similar to Montreal’s hockey team or Houston’s football team). Names like Indians are a little more ambiguous - I don’t believe it is a cultural slur, but the arguments against it hold a little more water than the others.

http://teamnameorigin.com/mlb/nickname/atlanta-bravesIs it just an urban myth that the Braves were originally named after the Boston Tea Party participants (who had dressed as Native Americans)? The team of course originally was based in Boston
Right, the origins were with Tammany Hall politiciansIs it just an urban myth that the Braves were originally named after the Boston Tea Party participants (who had dressed as Native Americans)? The team of course originally was based in Boston

All this and no one ever mentions "The Fighting Irish!"
Or Spartans.
The folks who would really have a beef are the Trojans. Good thing they are no longer around.
So they ARE named for the tribe, just in a round about way.The Blackhawks are NOT named after a tribe. They are named after the 86th Infantry Division. The 86th was nicknamed the Blackhawk division after the Sauk Chief named Black Hawk. The Blackhawks team founder served in the 86th and adopted the name for his team. They were actually called the Black Hawks until 1986.

Looks like Obli’s new toy.Were you using one of these at the time?
more likely looked like this.....Were you using one of these at the time?
We have a few like that on this board...they are just such better people than the rest of us (or so they think).That’s what America has become. Anything to be seen by the world on social media that “I am sensitive, politically correct, and therefore on the “correct” side of the argument.” Sell out, give up, but be seen as “correct”.
I hate U.S.
Do you think the mob cares about a difference? It’s not about fixing anything or making anyone feel better, it’s about taking power and the more they get the more they will take.
