Hmmm. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because the name of the team is a friggin' RACIAL SLUR? My goodness, if you have to try and convince others or yourself it's not racist, IT'S FREAKIN' RACIST! Paying Native Americans money and giving out footballs signed by your team's crappy QB won't change that.

The name "Cowboys" is sexist, it's exclusionary towards women. See how stupid that sounds? Yeah, that's what you sound like.
Also most of them don't give a shit. If you actually walk on to a reservation and talk to them, it's a non-issue. It's new age liberals who are all white/black/1% native who are making a big stink about it.

You raise a fair point. Tell me more about Washington D.C.'s rich history of Native American settlements.

No it's not the same at all
Go to any of the Native reserves around me and say "What's up redskins!"
Hint: You probably aren't leaving the reserve unless it's in an ambulance

The Vikings were rapists, murderers, and thieves. How could we let such a team take the namesake of such a vile group of people?
