Columbus Raped the Redskins ... Time to Change the Name
15.10.13
Columbus Raped the Redskins ... Time to Change the Name: It's Columbus Day, a perfect day to consider changing the name of the Washington Redskins.
During halftime of last night's Washington Redskins – Dallas Cowboys football game, NBC Sports Commentator Bob Costas, one of the most respected sports commentators in America, gave his take on the growing controversy over the "Washington Redskins" team name.
Costas started off by discussing the differences between the term "Redskins" and other typically Native American-inspired terms like "Warriors" or "Chiefs."
He said that, "Objections to names like "Braves," "Chiefs," "Warriors," and the like strike many of us as political correctness run amok. These nicknames honor, rather than demean."
