Roger Goodell: Redskins Name Honors Native Americans

[annm4peace]

61. why do these rich assholes have to hang onto their racism

wow.

I walked with the Native community last year from the American Indian Center to the Metrodome in Minneapolis. I near by. There were over 1000 of us with 90% being native. Young, old, women, men.. and yes they do suffer from this racism. Many of the older people were taken from their families and forced to go to the boarding schools. Many talked of shame they felt when "Scalp em" were used at their high school, college, or programs. Some talked of having to let their children or grandchildren know what Redskin meant?, where it came from.. and where they going to be scalped. It is shameful. I'm done with Pro football. I like watching the games and often buy NFL gifts. 2 years ago I knitted my brother a hat with Oakland colors.. I'm done. NO more. I hope Goodell gets fired.
I'll watch the game and the ads.. and keep note of the ads and make sure to write those companies a letter of why I will no longer buy their products.
Shameful. it is 2014 and these A.holes have to hang on for dear life to their racism.
