Tell yourself whatever you want, but you're running out a number of defenses of keeping the name, pestering people that say they shouldn't and your arguments for changing it are (obviously paraphrasing:) "just so the stupid conversation goes away" and "if they really insist then change the goddamned name" — that's…

They've done the 100 grand too, with the candy bar.

It's actually not a "free thing". He likely paid to enter the charity golf tournament, but even if he didn't, this is a contract law issue. Someone said to the golfer — make a hole-in-one and win (either "this" or) "a" car. In the eyes of the law, this is a contract where one side definitely performed his obligation…

I had a similar childhood. It's funny how everyone is judging and giving unsolicited advice right up until those same people start asking if my dad was hiring and if we had any stock tips.

Yeah, the guy that thinks you can buy a $30k car in 2003 and sell it for $20k in 2008 (in a major economic downturn and credit crisis, no less) clearly never owned a Mercedes.

"People need to worry more about themselves and their own choices."

While we're doing the roll call, I'm a Sabres fan really considering just taking two or three years off of watching hockey while they tank for picks.

My favorite commenters are the ones that want the conversation to end but also can't help but try to get the last word. Read your comments on this article. You may want to hide behind "devil's advocate" but you're consistently on the same side, which happens to be where the racists all fall. Hard for me to…

I'm not assuming anything. I read your other comments, you dumb fuck.

Do you need me to explain that unanimity would be most persuasive and less support is less persuasive? Are you that dumb or do you think that bullshit nitpicking is clever?

Really? It needs to be unanimous in order to count as offensive? Seriously? You're being fucking ridiculous.

It's not the first time they brought it up, it's the first time it's gained extensive coverage and probably the first time any white people gave a shit. There were protests about the name after they won the Super Bowl in 1988, for instance.

So you aren't a Native American. Maybe this is interesting to you:

Let me anticipate this morons: "RINOs are just libs in hiding" bullshit response and tell you that you're probably wasting your time trying to speak logically with someone who both decries oversimplification and thinks that every liberal is exactly the same. Someone who says it doesn't matter to his opponents if…

In order to demonstrate how people you disagree with don't understand nuance, you've lumped them all into one group and assumed they are heterogeneous. This is a really subtle and ironic joke right? No one is this stupid.

At the Center for Indigenous Peoples Studies at California State University, San Bernardino a survey was conducted of 400 individuals, with 98 individuals identified as Native Americans , finding that 67% agreed with the statement that "Redskins" is offensive and racist. The response from non-natives was almost the…

If you are dissenting about it being okay to call someone a nigger, wouldn't you be racist? What's the distinction here?

Are you a Native American that doesn't find the name offensive? That's who gets to weigh in on whether or not it's "really" a slur.

You may be the only one surprised by this "new" information.

Maybe you should look to see how Native Americans feel about it, as it's not that shocking that a huge portion of the country doesn't care about a slur that's not directed at them.
