    The sooner we get rid of all references to Native Americans in any capacity the better. Sports names and images is a good start. Don't give that group any recognition. Being a "chief" is not an honorable thing. Thank you groups working hard to eliminate these images... get back to American themed names/mascots

    I have no Native American ancestry, but I have a lot of compassion for them. Hopefully, they will desire to be part of their own identities and be seen in everyday life.

    There is no uniform consensus among Native Americans that the name "Redskins" is offensive. Historically, Native Americans referred to themselves as "Redskins" or "Redman". The largest Native American High School "Red Mesa" High school carries the nick name Redskins. I agree if a sports franchise is going to use such terms they must do so respectfully and maybe even pay a royalty fee to a trust that can distribute the funds among tribes and Native Organizations. Also, the use of logos needs to be done respectfully. The Washington Redskins logo was created by a member of the Blackfeet tribe and it is based on the image on the "Indian" head nickel. The Cleveland Indians logo was a clownish looking Indian and clearly disrespectful. Should I take offense at the University of Notre Dame's Leprachan mascot and the term "Fightin Irish"? There is an organization--the Native American Guardian Association - that distributed a petition to bring back Redskins and supposedly they had over 100,000 Native American signatures. I have given up on the idea of the term Redskins ever coming back, but is the term "Warriors" inappropriate. Why does Florida State University continue to carry the name Seminoles and the University of Illinois still call themselves the fighting Illini. What is the difference between the Atlanta Braves and the Warriors? I am truly empathetic to the Native American cause and always have been. My love for the Redskins when I was a boy triggered a keen interest in Native American history and I studied that history and supported real substantive change in the lives of Native Americans. Among the problems Native Americans face it seems to me what a professional sports franchise calls themselves is the least of their concerns.

U don't see native American sports using a priest outfit or a nuns dress or even a Muslim headscarf on Thier mascots cause we all know if they did it would be a different story , I bet bit would offensive than 🤔🤣

    The last times have come!(The Apocalypse ). No one knows if he will live in the next moment, life is unpredictable! But what awaits us after death?.. Few people think about it, no one thinks about why we live on this Earth at all, who created us and why? But this does not cancel God's Judgment, he will! and each of us will have to answer to God how he lived his life. If you reject God today, then God will reject you! For it is said:
    "... repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:1-2) God demands repentance from everyone, for "there is no righteous man on earth who does good and does not sin" (Eccl. 7:20)..."
    “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good,
    not even one.”(Rom. 3:10-12).
    "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: they
    ate, drank, married, married, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed everyone.
    Just as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, drank, bought, sold, planted, built; but on the day that Lot left Sodom, a rain of fire and brimstone fell from heaven and destroyed everyone; so it will be on the day when the Son of Man appears. On that day, whoever is on the roof, and his things are in the house, do not go down to take them; and whoever is in the field, also do not turn back. Remember Lotova's wife.
    Whoever saves his soul will destroy it; and whoever destroys it will revive it.
    I tell you: that night there will be two on the same bed: one will take, and the other will remain; two will grind together: one will take, and the other will remain; two will be in the field: one will take, and the other will remain."
    (Luke 17:26-36)
    "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour at which the Son of Man will come."
    (Matthew 25:13)
    10 And he said to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.
    11 Let the unrighteous still do unrighteousness; let the unclean still be defiled; let the righteous still do righteousness, and let the holy one be sanctified still.
    12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my retribution is with me, to reward everyone according to his deeds.
    13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last.
    14 Blessed are those who keep his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through the gates.
    15 But outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and does unrighteousness.
    16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to witness these things to you in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star.
    17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come, and let him who is willing take the water of life for free.
    18 And I also testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will put on him the plagues that are written in this book;
    19 And if anyone takes away anything from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his participation in the book of life, and in the holy city, and in what is written in this book.
    20 He who bears witness to this says, "To her, I am coming soon!" Amen. To her, come, Lord Jesus!
    21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen."
    (Revelation of John the Theologian, 22:10-21)
    "If we say that we have no sin- we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8)
    "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19)
