How long before they call this Navajo an "Uncle Tom-Tom"?

The Sage's Take: A 2004 poll taken by the highly respected, non-conservative Annenberg Center found only 9% of self-described Native Americans considered the name Redskins "offensive."  Some questioned the mythology of the polls, and whether the sample size was sufficient. Still, the issue seemed no biggie. After all, every spring, a handful of people assemble outside the Cleveland Indians stadium to protest the team's nickname. After a few days, the crowd disperses. Nobody cares. 

In the case of both the Indians and the Washington Redskins, the teams' history suggests that the names were chosen honor particular individuals. These men were associated with the their teams' early years--and were Native American. This is racist, insulting, demeaning?


Redskins Owner Watches Game With Head Of Navajo Nation

By Michael Cantrell, Oct. 13, 2014, Youngcons.com

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder has been the target of a liberal witch hunt over the past year, as race-baiting Democrats led by Sen. Harry Reid have been on a crusade to force the team to change its name, claiming it’s “racist.”

The funny thing is, a large majority of Native Americans have come forward in support of the team’s name, saying it’s a term of honor, but of course, that’s not stopped the race obsessed left from continuing to abuse their power and silence someone’s freedom of speech.

Fortunately, Snyder is a tough guy who stands up for what he believes in, and has decided to take the fight to the PC Police by sitting down and watching his team toss the pigskin around with a special guest.

From The Right Scoop:
