Oso planning to go pro
Because there is always someone outraged about something. Why would PETA ask us to stop eating meat? Why would NOW be outraged the last few weeks but asleep at the wheel in the 1990's? Why would the AMA support a certain person's healthcare plan, but majority of doctors don't (despite the AMA being the organization that represents doctors). All kinds of reasons.Those that are upset, I suggest they use UPS only.
Glad my shareholder vote counted....along with the other 99.9% of ushttp://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2014/09/30/99-9-of-fedex-shareholders-ok-with-redskins.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+industry_11+%28Industry+Sports%29
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I wonder what the over/under is on the number of Chicos posts - just in this one thread. My guess would be 120.Why is he allowed to hijack thread after thread just to satisfy his god complex. Am I the only one who is tired of this?

But you said Natives view it as a sign of respect. I am confused.
Yes, and in the 1700s, the founding fathers decided that African Americans only counted as 3/5s of a person.Because a bunch of mostly white shareholders think something is right doesn't mean that it is. Just like we look at the 3/5 compromise as an example of conventionalized racism from the 1700s, future generations will look at the Redskins as an example of conventionalized racism from the early 21st century.
I'm ok with this one, he at least stays on topic here.
Surveys mean nothing. I won't pay attention to them until they agree with what I want, and then I will constantly research them and post them on the internet to support my argument.
Consider it a source of information that doesn't feed into your confirmation bias that you guys normally get. Refreshing to break out of your bubble every once in a while. Jon Stewart, Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz and Rachel can't do all your thinking for you.
And here is where you go from having a dialogue to making petty attacks. Please don't play into your own stereotype. Yes, the phrasing was intentional
That said, history will judge you as dead wrong on this issue.
Godwin's Law 2.0....congratulations
+10,000. As much as Chico likes to mock "outrage" it was at the core of this country's founding and the basis for all the progress made here on every human rights issue. The messes we have to clean up to make a more perfect union are smaller and sometimes more nuanced than slavery, voting rights for women, anti sodomy laws, etc., but that doesn't mean they're not messes. History will definitely conclude (and sooner than most think) that using a racial slur for a team nickname is wrong. As hard as it is for most people today to imagine that majorities in this country once endorsed slavery, non citizenship for women and homosexuality as a mental disease, so will it be hard for generations to come to imagine anything short of a small, bigoted group backing the use of "redskins".
Colorado's AP History class would like a word with you.
That's because most history taught today begins with the Civil Rights movement and not the story of this countries founding and principles. It mostly is a tirade against Europeans ignoring the fact that this is the most welcoming country in the universe. I have read the books our kids get these days and attended lectures by the "teachers" who spew this propaganda.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
I don't understand why people view this as an either/or proposition. The country's founding and its principles should absolutely be celebrated, and our missteps should be looked at in the context of the times - but there were missteps. They belong in the history books too. I'm generally very bullish on the USA both past and present - think we've been mostly both lucky and good. But I think part of that goodness is a striving to always be better.
Hypocrite, you make a statement about him dripping with sarcasm and are then offended when Chico's responds in kind. You guys are comical, having your little cat fights while everyone else in the room is rolling their eyes.
