[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1205651, member: 17969"] Understanding what you are talking about would help your thought process. There is a big difference between the words BLACKHAWK and REDSKINS. Black Hawks are a tribe [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hawk_(chief[/URL]) REDSKINS is a demeaning word as there is no tribe called the REDSKINS. I imagine you would feel comfortable with a southern state team featuring a black mans face and calling the team "the alabama N-words"... The Washington Warriors would suffice and the team logo wouldnt have to be changed. The word "WARRIORS" would honor the american indian and not use a racially negative term to describe an Indian. Just because someone was around in the cowboys and indians days, doesnt mean its ok to use the term today. peace TOS [/QUOTE]
