Interesting that we had the Washington Redskins change their name, the Cleveland Indians, the University of Illinois had to say goodbye to its mascot, Chief Illiniwek - but now, somehow, THIS is championed ? Protected, even. Please do "shove it back" somewhere.

A nearby school mascot was the Redskins and a few years back they did a building project. Much of the crew were Navajos and instead of being offended they LOVED the fact that the Team was called the Redskins. They considered it an honor.
Yes. And if you are not allowed to past about a team name in its era then isn’t that an attempt at rewriting history which we usually ascribe to pol pot or mao?
That’s the entire point! The revolutionaries want to erase our past. It’s a brave New World. Chinese who lived thru that purging are trying to warn us.
I remember way back when Marquette quit its team name warriors for golden eagles or some such. Warriors is a noble name. That it is a catholic college I guess shouldn’t have surprised me.

And apparently Vox bans any comment on any of its myriad of sports sites that uses the name Redskins.
So for example if I wanted to write about a player on the team during the era the team was the Redskins….can’t use the team name.

This political correct crap has got out of hand.
It's the self-loathing whites who champion the ethnic cleansing of non-white cultural references. Almost as if they're the racists.🤔

And I always thought chief illinewek at the u of I games was honoring a warrior.
Are they gonna rename The Apache Helicopter?
He was.
Was a great tradition.

My wife went to china for work, several years back. The people still revere mao. brains are washed or indoctrinated.
I guess that would be similar to the bs " no dead-naming " craziness - rules for the 'woke'.
That. Is. Sad.
Once Redskins, always Redskins for us after 20 years in NoVA. Have all our team jerseys & memorabilia safely tucked away.

Prayer warriors are good ones too
And the Illini can't even defend themselves, they're all dead. Died during the Indian wars. 😑
Looks like that on the football field, as well.
