Redskins Legend Gary Clark Says Name Not Offensive.
“The reason I initially visited the Native American reservation was because people were saying that saying the word ‘Redskins’ was like saying the [N-Word) to a black person,” Clark told Donaldson. …
Clark continued to NBC Sports Washington: “What I found was Native Americans wearing Redskins gear and saying that they were proud to be a Redskin fan and the 5% that weren’t Redskins fans were Cowboys fans and that’s why they didn’t like the name.”
My impression has been that most of the people who are offended by “Redskins” are not Native Americans. Most of them are woke white people bring offended on behalf of Native Americans.
But … the woke mentality is immune to such things, and it’s inevitable that the team will have to change their name. I hope they keep some tie to Native Americans. If they become “the generals” or something like that, I will have no feeling of continuity at all with the old team.
