Director Spike Lee said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should pressure Redskins owner Dan Snyder to change the team’s nickname and logo. Lee’s comments echo a renewed call for Washington to change the name in light of the nationwide protests of racial injustice. Lee made his remarks on the same day as city officials removed the statue of Redskins founding owner and segregationist George Preston Marshall on Friday. In an interview with SiriusXM, Lee referenced the removal of Confederate leader statues as a reason the Redskins should act on changing their name. “(Goodell) should approach (Snyder) and say if the Confederate stars and bars

Isn’t it special that the black liberals like Spike Lee care so much more than conservatives about “feelings” and injustices?

Buy the franchise, Spike. Then do what you will. In the meantime, stop acting like everybody uses the N word as much as you do.

Redskin potatoes, Indian corn,Indian summer, Indian giver, and Navaho White, a paint color by Benjamin Moore. How insensitive, or not.

Some may not have noticed but what they are doiing is implementing a strain of fascism. Whereas fascism favors the so called native peoples, this ridiculous erase culture is putiing blacks up on a favortism pedestal of sorts, although they are not the natives. However, notice native American Indians are now being included in the delete melee?

The term Redskins has never been used pejoratively (and only in B-movies when Injuns had been used too often). It has no negative meaning in my eyes. I have never met a Native American who objects to the term.
But Spike Lee and his ilk [dang -- note to self, never use term "ilk" again -- strongly white supremacist] objects to anything remotely decent, honorable or successful that he did not make himself

Spike must have a new movie or something. Or is feeling undermediaed these days. Maybe Fatso Moore texted him to get out there…. You’d think by now that these scabpickers wouldn’t have a square inch of skin left.

I am here in Indianapolis, Indiana. Double whammy. We have been called Nap Town. Maybe that could be our new offiial name. Not sure what they want to do with Indiana. I'm thinking numbers for the states like in the "Hunger Games" and their numbered regions. Still waiting for the "black folk" to demand we rename Washington DC and the white house. Oh, and the movie "White Christmas", and snow, and we must outlaw white TP, and vanilla icecream, no one can have white hair (must dye it), no more albinos of any kind, white bread is out, you can no longer whiten your teeth and on and on. Think this is silly? Don't count on it. They are insane. So much to trash, burn and destroy . . . so little time.

Mr. Lee needs to kill himself because he is named after a Confederate general. In fact, the most important Confederate general.
No excuses, Mr. Lee - change the name or suicide.....the only possible options.

Seems to me that he would change his name from Lee. How can he look into the mirror with such a name as Lee.

No one names a sports team for something or someone they do not revere or respect. Who would name a team "The Cowpies" or "The Hollywood Movie Directors"?

Actually, "Shelton," yes, I could imagine such a team name, because it's what the other black teams would call them with impunity, just like they do in da' hood.

The only true Redskins in this country are white people who spend too much time lying on the beach. Native Americans are brownish or copper in color.

Spike shows his ignorance of history by calling the Confederate Battle Flag the "Stars and Bars". The S&B was actually the 'First National", the original Confederate Flag. At First Manassas, the similarity of the First National to the US Flag caused some 'friendly fire' incidents so the Battle Flag/St Andrew's Cross version was developed to be used on the battlefield. The original Battle Flag was square. The rectangular version became popular later with the Confederate Navy using it on their ships.

How about New York calling their teams the "Slavers"?
After all, the city is named after the Duke of York, the biggest slave trader of 'em all, as he held the exclusive English license to import slaves into the American colonies.
My understanding of 'Redskins' is that in one or more of the local Indian tribes, when the men prepared for battle, would paint themselves red.... and you did NOT want to tangle with 'em!
A bunch that was going to 'Whoop Your Ass'..... sounds like a good name to me!

If we refer to his culture as anything other than “Black” (because of the color of his skin) it’s an insult. But if we use the color of someone else’s skin to refer to their culture it’s an insult? Lee, make up your mind.

Listening to rap, you come away with so many words favored by bLACKS that picking one to name a sports team would be impossible. There's the 'N' word, Ho and there favorite, the 'M-F' word!

Is Mr Lee absolutely certain that thy weren't named for a type of peanut?
Afterall, they grow lots of peanuts in Virginia where the team has its headquarters and practice fields.

What the owner of the Redskins should do is move his team out of Washington DC. The place is full of ingrates who hate the team's name and want to force him to change it. Rather he should move his team to Oklahoma City for at least two good reasons. First would be to emphasize the rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys by moving closer to Dallas. Can you imagine the energy and excitement in that region on game day?
The second reason is that the very name "Oklahoma" literally means "Land of the red skinned people." The entire state would welcome them with open arms, and their substantial native American population would enthusiastically adopt them. It would be an epic branding coup.

I honestly couldn't care less if you paid me about anything the NFL does any more!!!
I watched my last down of professional football a few years ago. And, given the stunts the spoiled college players are pulling, I probably watched my last down of college football in January.

Truth be known my information is that the vast majority of Native Indians are thrilled that they are being celebrated by a major American Football team. They are more aware than all the woke SJW's of every other color that no sporting team names itself after Mascots they do not respect or derive self respect from.

Absolutely correct. They took the knee, they got a bunch of statues destroyed (with more to come, precedent having been set), so the next step is to rename their teams according to whatever bLACK Lee says is appropriate. Sports teams also should be divested to bLACK owners and managers as reparations for past injustices, especially in the NBA, which is the best approximation we have for a modern-day slave plantation, with white owners and bLACK workers doing their bidding. Rise up! Demand change now!
