Morgan High School is the Raiders. Named after the Confederate, Morgan’s Raiders
I've had some interest in Native American feelings over the term "redskin" since Miami changed its mascot more than 20 years ago. Everything I've read seems to show that the feelings are mixed. There are those passionately against it, and others who don't care. If schools want to honor Native Americans as their mascots, I like the idea of honoring specific tribes, like the Florida State Seminoles or Central Michigan Chippewas. Do any high schools in Ohio do that? Far more interesting than Redskins or Indians.
Infowars and Fox News aren't "research". Just an FYI.Whats up obie? You need to stop watching mainstream media bud ? would you be surprised if i said im a millenial and im already smarter than you? Go do your own research instead of being lazy and assuming you are right.
oh im sorry big guy, i dont think i type like im old at all? And no i dont ? thats a very bizarre take tho. Youre right i dont look at fox or infowars. There you go assuming again!!! idk what to say anymore, that is what is wrong with people. they assume everything and dont dig deeper to find the truth. so no, its not as easy at turning on the tv obie.Infowars and Fox News aren't "research". Just an FYI.
I apologize for assuming you were a Boomer considering you write and think like someone who's about 50 years past their prime.
Out of curiosity do you sit in the back booth at Mcdonald's for breakfast with all the old crusties in your town?
Dawg, they call themselves "Big Black" and the only thing black is their helmets and tertiary color on their jerseys.They try to say they are the black knights but we used to be in a league with them. They go by the big blacks and it’s for the black horse knights would ride.

Wapakoneta Moonlanders. It already sounds better than Redskins.
Not many high schools can claim that someone from their hometown walked on the moon.I feel like Astros or Rockets would be the best choice
That article can be the same for you. There are very many native americans that are Washington Redskins fans! And how tf do you figure that I have white privilege?? I am not necessarily white for one thing. Second thing is if you believe there is something as ridiculous as "white privilege" you are a disgusting human being. ANYONE can be successful in this country today, regardless of your stupid skin color. Stop watching the dam* main stream media guys, its going to ruin us all. Theres plenty of other race stuff going on, black on white included, but the msm wont cover that because it doesnt fit their agenda. I like to say that there isnt races, theres just 2 types of people: good people and bad people. You thinking that "white privilege" is a thing might actually be quite racist. Dont be a fool, do your own research #Trump2020Your white privilege seeps through the letters. It is sad that folks like you continue to justify the use of a clearly derogatory racial slur as liberal crying. Your right about one thing though, it is history, one of distrust, murder and oppression. Leave it to folks like you to force those that were affected to "accept the history " and just deal with it. The most high profile pro sports team in the nation's capital is a racial slur but because certain folks thinks it is history it should be fine or folks should just get over it, amazing?
Opinion: Dear white people, stop telling Native Americans like me whether we're offended by the Washington Redskins
My tribe doesn’t identify as 'redskins' – this is a derogatory term coined by colonialists often historically used interchangeably with 'savages'www.independent.co.uk
You do realize the world is not full of absolutes, right? It is possible to understand the name change & not be a bleeding heart? It is possible to understand that once slaves were freed it was almost 100 years before blacks had same rights as whites nationwide?That article can be the same for you.

I do understand the name change, but is it really necessary right now? Is this going to solve everything? Call them the foreskins, oh wait that is going to offend women since they dont have foreskins. Just call them the Washington football team because liberals will claim the tigers will be offended soon.You do realize the world is not full of absolutes, right?

This thread has seemed to become your own personal bully pulpit. Entertain some new ideas, consider them, but keep your personal morality. It won’t change you, just help you see the world a little clearer.

Dawg, that's a bigger and dumber strawman than the one Dorthy walked down the yellow brick road with.I do understand the name change, but is it really necessary right now?

...and he was looking for a brain.
The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.I do understand the name change, but is it really necessary right now?
Whether they are fans or not, the fact that we are using a racial slur to identify a team... That is wrong now and wrong 100 years ago. Your privilege allows you to believe that because a few Native Americans may or may not think changing the name is a good idea makes it OK to keep.That article can be the same for you.

As nice as it feels rolling off the tongue. Warriors is super boing, played out and used by another professional sports franchise in the U.S.Now, how does the Washington Warriors sound?
Masters? Uh, seriously? You think you're some kind of slave master or something??!!Oregon bans Native American mascots in schools

.Oregon bans Native American mascots in schools
Eight schools have five years to comply with the order or risk losing their state fundingwww.cbsnews.com
I remember this from my Masters studies. Get ready, its coming. Thanks liberals!

Wapak GreenhousersI’m from Wapak, I think “moonwalkers” is a pretty cringe name. Honestly I would go with Wapakoneta Warriors
Warriors does sound good if you guys really feel like changing your name. Dont even have to change your logo.I’m from Wapak, I think “moonwalkers” is a pretty cringe name. Honestly I would go with Wapakoneta Warriors
Where I agree with you, moonwalkers suck, I think theres a lot of potential with the community's unique relationship with the moon. You could go with Warriors, sure. Like SC12 said, don't have to change the logo. But I still stand that, regardless of alliteration, "Warriors" is lame and overdone.I’m from Wapak, I think “moonwalkers” is a pretty cringe name.

Wapakoneta Giants ... as in "leap for mankind"Where I agree with you, moonwalkers suck, I think theres a lot of potential with the community's unique relationship with the moon.

When the opportunity arises (and I'm sure it will) I hope ya'll think outside the box and go with something special.
...Or be the Bulldogs and complete the WBL Bulldog 4square.
that's pretty good though I think you have to say personkind or something.Wapakoneta Giants ... as in "leap for mankind"
Interesting take.. on another note, as if the Washington Redskins don't already have an eff'd up offseason, anyone else see Dan Snyder has sex trafficking allegations? Report says he was on Epstein's list. Also, says Jay Gruden is in touble but doesn't say whatWhen black people stop calling each other the N-word then we get serious about changing names. What is considered a slur today wasn’t back when those names were given. See, we used to be able to find humor in ourselves and have fun... then the nerds took over. Bunch of sissies. Work harder, you have too much time on your hands.
i agree with Where the grass grows greener.
