"REDSKINS" WISH A HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Yes, The Washington Redskins "tweeted" a Happy Thanksgiving greeting.

The Liberal spin is, "HOW DARE THEY."

But I think back in the day, the Pilgrims and the Indians (as the Pilgrims called them) probably didn't give much of a shit. They probably sat around talking about how the "white man and the red man" have a lot in common. Both love to kill deer and slaughter turkeys.

The MEDIA, using one of its favorite wimpy phrases ("this is uncomfortable," a variation on "this is awkward") cried, and cried:

I can just see some dweeb jumping on this: "LOOK WHAT WAS TWEETED! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! LET'S MAKE A STORY OUT OF THIS!"

Oh, fuck off. Just FUCK off. I happen to loathe the stereotype references to Native Americans in sports. "Redskins" is offensive and most Native Americans agree. The "mascots" for the Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves are garish. Nothing is more obnoxious than the idiot "tomahawk chop." This is when white beer-belly jackasses in Atlanta stand up and pretend to wave a tomahawk slowly up and down in time to stereotype HOY-ya-ya-ya drum beats.

But the first Thanksgiving was probably a mutual "happy" and peaceful meal between two very different-looking races. I don't think they were hypocrites who'd say "I don't see color. I don't see differences." They were Realists. They said, "You're white, I'm Red," and, "You're Red and I'm white" and were fine with it. Especially with food on the table.

If there was a football team called "The Black Skins" or "The White Skins" then "The Redskins" would be fine. But there isn't, so it should go. It should at least be shortened to "The Washington Reds." The fact is, these teams were named not in "honor" of Native Americans, but because white idiots considered them as savage and bloodthirsty as Bears and Lions and Tigers...other sports nicknames.

But to try and shame the team over a fucking TWEET? Over a holiday greeting? "This is uncomfortable."
