Well more like football politics
PA
Paula Allen · 3:04 AM
In that case, yes!

What's up?
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:05 AM
So, you've heard about the Washington Redskins controversy?
PA
Paula Allen · 3:06 AM
Yeah, I heard something a while back but it seemed to fizzle.
PA
Paula Allen · 3:07 AM
Maybe bc the NFL has much bigger fish to fry these days?
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:08 AM
I was thinking about it, and it has really started to bother me.
PA
Paula Allen · 3:08 AM
Yeah?
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:08 AM
Yeah, it's a derogatory term that was once used to classify a group of people.
PA
Paula Allen · 3:08 AM
I guess I hadn't really thought about it like that?
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:10 AM
You wouldn't call someone of Native American decent a "redskin" today, would you?
PA
Paula Allen · 3:10 AM
No, absolutely not.
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:10 AM
Yet we use the word all the time, and on national television.
PA
Paula Allen · 3:11 AM
But we aren't tawking about the actual group of people.
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:11 AM
Yes, but they have to hear it!
PA
Paula Allen · 3:12 AM
Are the people of Native American decent actually mad about it?
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:12 AM
I don't think that matters..
CP
Cindy Palmer · 3:12 AM
We're suppose to be a progressive society!
