    What about the 'Fighting Irish' themselves?

    Notre Dame

    Is the word "redskins" so bad that it has to be censored from the poll?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,349 ✭✭✭T-Maxx


    What - no Atari Jaguar???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭lahalane


    They should change it to R-Words. Keeps both parties happy and sounds fun to say. R-Words.

    No. Boards.ie legal advice. Washington A***i J****rs would have been vulnerable to legal issues from two trade marks.

    I should start a poll calling for the Czech government to ask for Bohemians to change their name as it is offensive to Czechs.

    But that would be silly wouldn't it.

    You would upset a lot of penniless Parisian artists though.

    Privately owned franchise

    The owner has already said he'll never change it

    Dan Synder ain't for turning

    Nobody mentioned the Cleveland Indians as nobody cares about them! :D

    Worst excuse of a thread in a long time.......



    Has your Bridge been repossessed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Injuns don't play football just like Charlie don't surf. So they're not using the name. They can fook off, Redskins is a cool team name :D

    Pheque! In a scientific poll, 80% of Irish people claim to be racist!

    If they were called Washington WhiteSkins, wouldn't that be a lot more racist?

    As a native American, and a resident of the arran islands, I find this highly offensive.

    Forgive my scepticism as to the truth of that statement.

    Maybe they'll suggest something from the following

    'The Washington Non-Pigmentations'

    'The Washington No Skins'

    'The Washington Rainbows'

    'The Washington'

    'The'

    The last time I saw the redskins was when they'd been out sunbathing all day without sunscreen. :pac:
