While you're bashing a race that has been pushed around more than any other, why not just lobby to have them completely removed from history. After all, the "african" americans can sue for everything and anything that happened to them...but let's ignore the fact that their own people were the first slave traders. You are so right, "Redskin" should not be a racial term. Neither should "Nigger", "Spic", "Chink", "Gook", "Wap" or anything else for that matter. <BR /> <BR />Sarcasm intended.

My favorite part of the story:

Suzan Shown Harjo, a Native American activist and one of the original 1992 challengers, said she was "proud that the native young people have stepped forward to take on this despicable, disparaging name."

She said she attended a Redskins game in 1974 with her husband but had to leave after fellow spectators pulled their hair and mocked them for being "real redskins."

"They were touching us," she said. "It was really such a bizarre thing that we had to leave."

I'm surprised she didn't know that this is how all Redskins fans are taught to treat "real redskins". It's like a fraternity handshake. Before each game, the ushers hand out little cards that say "Find the real redskins. Pull their hair and call them names. It helps the team win."

Idiot.
