Report: Redskins’ Name Only Offensive If You Think About What It Means
A new study published Monday by the University of New Mexico confirmed that the name of the Washington Redskins is only offensive if you take any amount of time whatsoever to think about its actual meaning. When you hear or say Redskins in the abstract, its completely harmless, but weve discovered that if you briefly pause to remember its a racial slur for an indigenous group wiped out by genocide over the course of a few centuries, then, yeah, its awful, said lead researcher Lawrence Wagner, adding that only if you allow the NFL franchises name to register in your mind does it evoke the thought of human beings devastated by the forced removal from tribal lands, intentional exposure to smallpox, and countless massacres.
