Let’em boycott. Plenty of kids out there who would love to take their place.

Originally you said “professional”, not “criminal”? I’m not sure sex in the workplace is ever considered professional. Well, unless you work at a massage parlor on Harry Hines🤣🤣

Where does banging your intern in the Oval Office fall on the scale?🤣🤣 Though I do agree with you that Trump can’t out of his own way. My gosh the problems he could avoid if he would just stay off Twitter.

Agreed. In my opinion, it's honoring to have a team named after you. It makes no sense that anyone would ever name a team something derogatory. I realize over time things that were once acceptable can become unacceptable, but I just can't imagine anyone during any time period naming a team a derogatory name. I personally think the Redskins logo displays the strength of the American Indian and I would hate to see it go away.

Whew! Glad my son drives a Chevy or I might think you were calling him a red neck even though you know absolutely nothing about him. I’m really glad he doesn’t live in a double-wide or you’d certainly consider him to be beneath you. I always thought “the left” was against stereotypes. You know, because they can be considered offensive and make people feel bad. I guess I was mistaken.

It’s not a white-washed narrative. It’s our country’s history. We may not not like certain parts of it, but we can’t just get rid of the parts we don’t like and act like they never existed. It’s just ridiculous to hold men of the 1700’s and 1800’s to the standards of today. Men who, by the way, founded/established this great country. Well, I always thought it was great until the last few months when I’ve been enlightened to find out it’s terrible and has been since 1776.

There’s obviously more to the decision than meets the eye. For example: I’m told that roughly 30% of all teachers are eligible for retirement. Who teaches all those classes if even 10% of those eligible to retire decide to do so? Another not so obvious issue: Substitute teachers. There is already a shortage in many districts, who subs for the teachers who get sick, etc. All that being said, I want kids in schools. A “generation” of kids are going to be so far behind: academically, socially, emotionally. (Not all kids of course, but many will be affected in one or more ways). On a personal note, my son was in an auto accident on November 9 and didn’t go back to school until January. Covid hits in March, so he basically went to school for a total of one semester his sophomore year. I’m fortunate that he got his brains from my wife, but even so that’s not the education anyone wants for their kid. The thought of him starting his a Junior year at home drives me (and him) insane.

Aren’t you glad you asked?😁

“... a literal change in history...” Sorry Skipper, but you can’t change history, literally or otherwise. Some would try, but what happened, happened and you can’t change it. Thankfully we can learn from it, unless we erase it and future generations are unable to do so. No, I didn’t read the article. It was a long day at work and I just didn’t have it in me😂😂

These are not recent, but I found them both to be educational and relevant. No left or right lean in my opinion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/a-brief-history-of-the-word-redskin-and-how-it-became-a-source-of-controversy/2016/05/19/062cd618-187f-11e6-9e16-2e5a123aac62_story.html https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/09/220654611/are-you-ready-for-some-controversy-the-history-of-redskin

That’s surprising. Mine was delivered at least two weeks ago. Hope you get it soon.

Let me introduce you to: 🤣🤣🤣

I think the “insecure old white dudes” are pointing out how you can always find something to be offended by if you choose to do so.

Hahaha. I’ve read the threads. This is a true statement.

Obviously Patriots has to go.

As a few others have alluded to, #10 didn’t really have an answer I felt accurately conveyed my feelings. Thank you for your service to the community and thanks for the opportunity to complete the survey.

Sadly, the bar is pretty low for both coaches and players.

I can almost guarantee that the person who did it is in favor of taking down statues, changing team mascots, etc because they don’t want people to feel bad. Irony

Meh

I don’t know man. I tend to think most universities were holding off making a decision about fall sports until they heard from Bowdoin. Their influence over major college athletics is a little known fact.

I have no doubt they would have been far worse on other issues. My opinion of course.

It has a lot to do with the alternative four years ago and the alternative now.

If 2013 or 2017 is the best team ever it says a lot about our history. No disrespect intended to any players on those teams because they were very good and they gave the fan base many good memories, but best team ever? It’s hard being green, but I’ll keep on keeping on😁

You are clearly a part of the media🤣

So if that’s the “simple” solution, why not just require that masks be worn? No mask, no entry. Mask off once inside, you’re escorted to the exit. Simple.
