New in PJ Media:
Look, Fat, here’s the deal, as Old Joe Biden would say: the left has won the culture wars. But that was just the first round. The second round isn’t going so well for the fascist forces of hatred and division masked as equity and inclusion. Patriots continue to pour Bud Light down the drain for trying to force the trans madness upon its unwilling customer base, and now the nickname wars, which Leftists had every reason to believe were won and settled once and for all, have taken an unexpected turn: a Native American group wants that football team in Washington to start calling itself “Redskins” again, or else face a boycott. Yes, a Native American group.
Washington’s WJLA reported Monday that “in a letter to the Washington Commanders Monday, the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) demanded a meeting with the team’s new ownership to discuss a controversial name change.” Healy Baumgardner, who is president of NAGA’s Global Impact Campaigns, said that NAGA has asked the Commanders for a meeting several times before, and been repeatedly stonewalled: “We attempted to have an open dialogue with the now Washington Commanders since they made the name change several years ago with no response by them to have a conversation. We felt that it was time to apply public pressure.”
That public pressure comes in the form of a boycott threat, which, after the crash-and-burn of Bud Light, the Commanders should take seriously. NAGA’s letter “is the latest step in the organization’s ‘Reclaim the Name’ campaign, which seeks to bring back the team’s previously retired ‘Redskins’ monicker [sic]. A petition supporting the effort boasts over 60,000 signatures as of Monday night, a figure which matches the seating capacity of the Commanders’ FedEx Field.” The petition has bite: “the organization punctuated its meeting invitation by threatening to push for a boycott if their requests continued to go unheard.”
NAGA’s letter explicitly invokes patriots’ recent massive victory in the culture wars: “Should we need to encourage a national boycott similar to what happened with Anheuser Busch which is now down $27 billion (note, not one brick thrown, not one highway blocked, not one bridge burned) – WE WILL DO JUST THAT.” Oh, what a glorious paragraph.
In the left’s world view, this sort of thing was never, ever supposed to happen, and leftism equips its victims with no possible way to understand it. Native Americans were supposed to be deeply offended by the Redskins name, and triumphant at its demise. Yet here is not a gang of the cloddish, culturally insensitive, racist white males that the left loves to imagine exist demanding that the old name be restored, but the very people that name is supposed to have offended.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Bexarkat says
Should anyone be surprised? It’s always the wealthy leftist white liberals that insist on these name changes.
World@70 Richard says
What poetic justice. The actual Redskin people weren’t offended, only the lefts non-Indians were offended. Rename the team the Washington Liberals and see who screems.

Or Washington BIPOCs ?

The tide is turning. The MSM ignored the fact the Redskins logo was designed by a Chief of the Blackfoot tribe in Montana Walter ‘Blackie’ Wetzel more than 50 years ago. He called [the logo] his Most Beautiful Chief. It was not the tribes in my part of the world, Wyoming, that objected to this logo. It was the “Drug Store Washington DC professional racist Indian Movement” activist that did.

I will not watch another NFL game until many things happen. Among them are 1) getting rid of the DEI socialist rot; 2) doing away with the Rooney Rule whereby any coaching position that opens up it is required that at least two minorities be interviewed for the job (just interview the best candidates regardless of race or ethnicity); 3) the black national anthem is done away with; and 4) the Redskins name is restored.
Frankly, I don’t see how any patriotic and informed American can continue to watch the NFL as it is presently constituted. As presently constituted it is an enemy of American exceptionalism and of America in general.
Transmaster says
I no longer care about the NFL. I don’t even know or care who won the last Super Bowel ( intended misspell). I see some light, The Great Sow, Lizzo, has been ruled out as the Next Super Bowls halftime performer.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Same here, and I used to enjoy a good NFL game.
Used to…
Keith O says
“Black national anthem”???
You gotta be shitting me?
Wellington says
Nope, Keith O, and why Kari Lake, who was robbed of the governorship of Arizona by the Democratic machine, refused to stand up for the black national anthem at the last Super Bowl where she was present in her home state to see the Philadelphia Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTBsCWBUYZo.
But I do hope that in the future no patriotic American shows up at any Super Bowl or any NFL game for that matter until the NFL gets back to being the patriotic organization which it once was. Ain’t now under Roger Goodell and that’s more than a damn shame; it’s a national disgrace.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
She could have done better: she could have kneeled for the Black National anthem, pumping her fists in the air ?
Keith O says
I felt like spewing after watching that.
These clowns who are still turning a violent criminal into a saint as a means of dividing the nation need to be taken out and publicly flogged for treason.
Transmaster says
Oh Yes;
We were all beaten slaves
The cracker had his way
160 acres and a mule was to much work
Whitie has to pay
That is what the Democrats say.
All of this while Lizzo is twerking
James Lincoln says
The Leftists who pushed for the name change to “Commanders” are now suffering a very major case of cognitive dissonance.
Keith O says
What will be hilarious will be the stunning silence coming from the woke/leftist rabble.
Lets see them even attempt to use the word racist.
Rarely says
What’s in a name”?… a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.
Much ado about nothing
Wellington says
“Much ado about nothing.”
Nope, not if one sees how the rot of wokeism is eroding American society. It will take one step at a time to get back to aggregate common sense and traditional values. One such good place to deal with is getting back the name “Redskins,” which in the fist place was a tribute to American Indians and not meant as any kind of denigration—and as even many American Indians realize.
Let evil or stupidity prosper and it leads to a cascading effect. All negative.
William says
Real patriots bulldozer bud out of existence and drink real Mens beer
Kepha says
I believe that it’s common knowledge that all those sports teams named after American Indians took those names out of admiration for the warrior ethos of many indigenous peoples. Fight, team, fight! My guess is that a lot of tribal people know that such names are a respectful nod to their ancestors.
But, I recall, that back in the SIllier ‘Seventies, a group of Indian students at U of ND organized an intrmural team which they called “the Fighting Norwegians” in protest against the moniker “Fighting Sioux” for the university’s football team. But I gather that almost everyone took it for good-natured ribbing.
