Cleveland Indians ask Supreme Court if 'Redskins' offends

Cleveland Indians ask Supreme Court if Washington 'Redskins' offends

The Cleveland Indians, whose mascot is a redfaced warrior, asked the Supreme Court if the Washington 'Redskins' logo offends

The Cleveland Indians who find the Washington Redskins' name offensive wants the Supreme Court to take up the matter, since they have dibs on Chief Wahoo and all the redfaced Indians.

The group on Monday asked the justices to review a lower court decision that favored the NFL team on a legal technicality since the Redskins won 3 Super Bowls and The Indians haven't won shit since 1948.

Seven Native Americans, who now own the white man's land in almost every state through casino revenues, would like to see the highest court decide whether the Redskins' name defames Native Americans, most of whom in the past were drunk, unemployed and drove new F-150 red Fords.

Justice Thomas was overhead saying, " Hey fuck you, at least you were not slaves and I am a season ticket holder to the Skins and you losers were redfaced so what the fuck are we arguing about?"

The former Atlanta Braves mascot, Chief-Noc-A-Homer, said the Indians need to leave the white man alone or he will take our casinos and send us back to reservations.

As someone who is part Irish, I am deeply offended by the ND "fighting Irish" mascot. To imply that all Irish are fighters, and blockheads is simply mean spirited, and should be banned by the NCAA in the same way that the "fighting Soux" of North Dakota was banned.

I am also deeply offended by the Boston Celtics, as this is further denigration of the Irish.

As a northerner, I am offended by the NY Yankees. Every time the pinstripes take the field, I feel humiliated.

To call a team the Minnesota Vikings is disgraceful. To protray Scandanavian Americans as barbarian goons running around the field with horns on their head is an insult and extremely insensitive.

The irish are all dumb fuck drunken crooks.
The Fighting Sioux won that case and the NCAA blew millions.
The Celtics could never denigrate any potato head, they are too far gone.
The Vikings were sweet travelers who like to take home souvenirs like women and women and women.
