The Washington DC Whiners are at it again, trying to get the NFL’s Washington Redskins to change their name. The Owner of the team is on the record claiming he’ll never do it, but the Capitol City PC Police just wont let up.
But not everyone agrees.
Speaking on Sirius XM NFL Radio’s “The Morning Drive” on Wednesday, Robert “Two Eagles” Green, whom CBS notes “retired from his presiding role over the 1300-member Patawomeck Tribe in March,” said most members of his tribe “don’t find” the Redskins name to be “offensive.”
“I’ve been a Redskins fan for years and to be honest with you, I would be offended if they did change it,” Green said.
Chief Green said his research indicated the term came from Indians, and it is “not a term that the white man created.” He said Native Americans used the term to refer to themselves in negotiations with white settlers and noted “we have people in this country that try and gin up problems that don’t exist.”
I’ve got a great solution for Redskins owner Dan Snyder. If the DC cry-babies wont stop tell them you’ll just move the team someplace else. That’ll fix their wagon.
