There is a potato called a Redskin. I purchase them all the time. I like to boil them, and as I immerse each potato into the boiling water, I envision General Custer, standing there, surrounded by bodies and Redskins, the bodies, his troops, the Redskins, the Indians who caused them to be ..... bodies, that are laying around him, and I get "even" with each potato I drop in the water.
I imagine it is impossible to change the name of the potato. How could that be done, it is a potato, not one person owns that name, and they are called that because they have ..... red ...... skins. They could possibly be Carmen skins, pinkish skins, scarlet skins. So, they just call them redskins. Do Indians eat redskin potatoes? How do they order them in a restaurant? "Those little boiled, buttered funny looking, off colored, potatoes.
The Washington Redskins are a professional American football team located in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The team belongs to the East Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team's home stadium is FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. Its headquarters and training facility are at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Virginia, and the newly built Redskins Complex in Richmond, Virginia, respectively. The Redskins have played more than 1,000 games since 1932. The Redskins have won five NFL Championships (two pre-merger, and three Super Bowls). The franchise has captured 13 NFL divisional titles and six NFL conference championships.
I wonder if any Indians have complained about the name.
I imagine when George and boys were forming this country they discussed in detail the eventuality of professional football occurring, and their names. "George, I can see some problems arising when the NFL is formed and they start naming their teams, how many colors and animals can be used," Patrick Henry stated. "We have to be realistic," John Hancock chimed in, "there are only Indians around here, and some team, maybe right here in the capitol is going to want to be called, the Indians, no, the Redskins."
Washington concluded by saying, "What business do we, the Government, the Congress, the House of Representatives and myself, the first President of the United States, have in getting involved in the issue anyway. Pass the potatoes, Adams, what do you call these little red things?"
