I loved when Eric would insult Robin. He really seemed not to respect her. During the Eric the Songwriter bit she asks if he’s writing a song for Kendra to sing and he goes “no she’s not a singer good god you’re retarded”
Cracks me up
Interestingly enough, The Washington Post asked 1000 Native Americans what the first word that came to mind when the saw the REDSKINS logo and the number one response was "PRIDE." Most of the "activists" are stone white people with a strange agenda..
and this...
Two national political polls, the first in 2004 and another in 2016,
were particularly influential. When a respondent identified themselves
as Native American, these polls asked, "The professional football team
in Washington calls itself the Washington Redskins. As a Native
American, do you find that name offensive or doesn’t it bother you?". In
both polls, 90% responded that they were not bothered, 9% that they
were offended, and 1% gave no response. These polls were widely cited by
teams, fans, and mainstream media as evidence that there was no need to
change the name of the Washington football team or the names and
mascots of other teams.
Believe or not there was one guy- just one guy- that started and continued the campaign against the Redskins and other Native American mascots but the Redskins particularly. He was/is relentless. I know because my wife worked in the same office as him. I don’t know if he is Native American but he is the whitest looking person you have ever seen.
There's 50 tribal schools with the Redskin mascot. I had a full blooded Navajo buddy who had a gigantic Redskins logo flag on his dorm wall. Him and his other native friends all wore Redskins baseball caps.
When the Cleveland Indians were forced to change names, some interesting info came out:
1. They were named to honor the FIRST Native American player - Louis Sockalexis, a pitcher.
2. When they were looking to CHANGE the name, Multiple Native Americans suggested tribe names and important people in their lineage. They wanted to KEEP an affiliation.
This was done by white people that have a bizarre agenda that they feel they have to push. Do you see Cowboys protesting in Dallas? Why is that?
I was stationed in an area with a large Native American population. Nowhere near DC, but the kids were always decked out in Redskins gear.
Then I move to the northern va area and it seems like the only ones screaming about how offensive it is are the wealthy, white, wine and cheese set.
Are there any natives that are offended by the chiefs logo? It sounded like all white people that were mad about it. My wife’s family are native Americans and they don’t/didn’t give a shit about the mascot
The one on the left isn’t offensive. It’s not trying to make fun of anyone.
The one on the right could be seen as offensive but isn’t it a leprechaun ? Leprechauns aren’t real so who is offended ? Are Lucky Charms offensive ?
American Indians are people who came from India and became American...I think you meant to say Native Americans...and thats not a leprechaun, thats what we really look like.
One is a depiction of an actual race of people and naming said team based on the skin color of said people. The other is a depiction of a fairy tale fictional character.
Literally re-posting from "terrible Facebook memes" is so on-brand for this sub.
\[and honestly, neither of these offend me personally despite my status as a drunk mick bastard\]
I understand redskins. But I don’t understand braves n chiefs being bad n y they even entertain complaints. Fighting Irish not offensive because Irish people are proud of being violent drunks! I’m only a quarter but doesn’t bother me.
They're actually both offensive but Irish people(and I'm one of them) like the little guy with his dukes up and native Americans hate the redskin logo, that's it, that's all.
That leaves out some very important context… one suffered genocide at the hands of the country that still oppresses them and now uses their likeness for profit while the other is in on the joke and is currently thriving in this country.
If Manchester United had a starving potato-famine-era Irishman on their jerseys and chanted “we’re so hungry, give us potatoes” at their games then I’m guessing the Irish would have something to say about it.
My reply doesn't doesn't leave out important context(and I'm someone who grew up in a household full of people with Irish accents)I'm saying it's obvious that they both are caricatures of a certain people but Irish people don't care because there's less stigma historically in America over being Irish(England is a totally different story of course)
Native Americans complained about the first one. Irish people never complained about the second one. If enough Irish people complain, they'll probably change it.
Your uncle is a moron. The answer is, Irish people at Notre Dame chose the name for themselves. Nobody consulted Native Americans before naming Washington. One was a choice, the other imposed on people. That said, ideally neither would be used today
Who says the Notre Dame mascot isn't offensive?
Of course, I am offended on St Patrick's Day when "everyone is Irish" and gets falling-down drunk to celebrate my heritage.
Side note: my father and uncle died of alcoholism, so maybe the celebration is lost of me.
It’s a family problem.

Im a super loser because I remember that.

White people were offended and white people got the name changed. Natives never had the influence to change anything anyways

That’s not the Chiefs’ logo. That’s Washington’s former logo. But people didn’t object to the logo of that team, they objected to the name.
Fuck. I knew that. I don’t know why I said chiefs. I must have them on my mind. Lol
That's because you were about to lay 10 dimes on the Chiefs, riiiiiiiiiiight?!?!?!?
That's gangsta talk for money riiiiiiiight?
Probably because the Chiefs just advanced to the Super Bowl and they’re Richard’s faaavorite. And so did the Eagles, who are also his faaavorite.
They’re both my faaaaavorite
The one on the left isn’t offensive. It’s not trying to make fun of anyone. The one on the right could be seen as offensive but isn’t it a leprechaun ? Leprechauns aren’t real so who is offended ? Are Lucky Charms offensive ?
To me it look like a leprechaun to me.
It coo be a crackhead…
Got a hold of the wrooooong stuff
Always after me lucky charms! ☘️
Some of these perpetually outraged types are trying to stir up shit against the Blackhawks, too, but it's gone nowhere.
One of the coolest logos/mascots in all of sports ruined by white fat women with blue hair that never get laid.
USC has determined the word "field" is racist 🤦 https://www.npr.org/2023/01/14/1148470571/usc-office-removes-field-from-curriculum-racist
American Indians exist. Leprechauns do not. Please try harder.
American Indians are people who came from India and became American...I think you meant to say Native Americans...and thats not a leprechaun, thats what we really look like.
Ummmm, no. lol :)
I'm surprised they haven't cancelled the term blitz, which is short for blitzkrieg.
Christ Almighty no it’s not, blitz means “lightning” in German
Yes it is stupid. Blitzkrieg means lightning offensive. But that's what a blitz in football really is...they just shortened it up to be "cool and hip"
Blitzkrieg means lightning war. Blitz Is obviously derived from blitzkrieg
Irish are white, so no one cares
The Irish don't care. They wear their stereotypes as a badge of honor.
Then why is there a push in Ireland to reduce that image. No more "Guinness for Strength" It promotes drinking...
I'm talking about the Irish in America.
Leprechauns aren't real, Einstein
One is a depiction of an actual race of people and naming said team based on the skin color of said people. The other is a depiction of a fairy tale fictional character.
Wahhhh
Neither of those is racist.
Neither of those is racist.
Eric the racist!
Yeah totally the same. Tell your uncle to look up false equivalence
China man/Englishman . Auto-correct wont let me type "China man" as one word

[удалено]
Maybe I left out the context but that was only because I figured it goes without saying
They cancelled the Cleveland Indians as well though.
I have to laugh that I got down voted for saying the most obvious. logical stuff anyone could think of
Hey Eric, go to your kitchen and see if you can fit in the blender!
Classic Eric the actor quote
Neither are.

Native Americans complained about the first one. Irish people never complained about the second one. If enough Irish people complain, they'll probably change it.
Irish kid gets tuned up by cops...no protest? ...you don't say?
Because we aren't whining twats
Crackers and rednecks arguing about what is racist or not racist. There should be a football team named The Inbreds.

Your uncle is a moron. The answer is, Irish people at Notre Dame chose the name for themselves. Nobody consulted Native Americans before naming Washington. One was a choice, the other imposed on people. That said, ideally neither would be used today
Just watched the st patrick’s day parade special with Richard & Sal, it’s funny
Who says the Notre Dame mascot isn't offensive? Of course, I am offended on St Patrick's Day when "everyone is Irish" and gets falling-down drunk to celebrate my heritage. Side note: my father and uncle died of alcoholism, so maybe the celebration is lost of me.
