As for "intellectual disabilities", I am partly learning disabled so I feel for people with problems like that. They deserve respect.

When I was a kid in school I continually crossed numbers such as writing 89 when I meant to write 98. I had terrible math skills and low grades in the subject. Teachers did not know what learning disability was in those days and they treated me like dirt because of my repeated mistakes. Needless to say, school days back then wasn't so much fun.
It's amazing how adamant some people are that an American football team continue as a racial slur. It's a minor issue, but if you asked me if I was pro-racist names or anti-racist names, I'd vote anti-racist. But some of you are really taking issue with being racist. You go around saying you aren't racist but look at how strongly you defend racism.
It's not racist... Christ. Just a bunch of Over Sensitive Politically Correct Nut Bars.
BTW Corduroy, right back at'cha
If it's not racist, then why do you care?
That's my point. If you think it's racist and you're against racism then you would support changing the name. Many people think it is racist, particularly members of the race it insults. But if you don't think it's racist, then why do you care what the name of a football team is?
The only people who should care about the name are people who think it's racist.
Pollspotting
A CBC poll goes horribly wrong: "How do you feel about sports teams that have aboriginal references in their names?"

It's not racism, it's tradition. The great old Murkan tradition of justice and equality for redskin savages.
No vocal opposition, everything that is getting pushed through by the Liberals.
I mean what's racist about it any how, are they not Red Skinned?? Blacks are Black, Whites are White, Asians are Yellow, Mexicans are Brown.
Just probably a bunch of Wagon Burners hoping to get paid off, to shut up.. beer money.
Go Skins!!

There are three theories for the origin of the term "Eskimos" (French: Esquimaux) to describe the Inuit.
One is "She makes the netting for snowshoes." Really, a men's footnall team being named after women who fashion snowshows! Rediculous!
A second is "People who speak a different language." I thought the Edmonton team spoke a variation of English and can be understood even by the Queen.
The third is "Eaters of raw flesh." That sounds more of an invitation to worms than the Grey Cup.
Time for a change!
