Bill Scher deserves better in having a Bloggingheads co-host or debater. He often goes on this channel to debate e liberal side against a man named Matt Lewis who always bring up sports to his arguments. Lately Matt Lewis been talking a lot of shit about Washington Redskins saying how it is none government business to put and end to racist name.
Matt Lewis say that because he grow up with this team and remember watching John Riggens and Joe Theisman win Super game that somehow this should not change name of Washington Redskin. Matt Lewis go on to admit that he would not name a team nowadays of the term Redskin but it should be grandfather in and co tinge to use to degrade the millions of people in this country who call themselves Native Americans. Redskin was the N word of its day and is still used by White men to verbally assault Indians in the Dakotas and out West. This is something right wing nut conservative Matt Lewis no can understand as his people and Christians were not so derogatory insulted and abused verbally and physically by other people. Perhaps have Lewis lived in country where people who no look like him took his ancestors land and then used cross as symbol of sport maybe then asshole Matt Lewis can see why this nickname is totally wrong.
People like Lewis and those who defend nickname of Redskins though will always see what they want and will see redskin name as a term of respect and tradition that should be held on to for continue use to insult aborigines America. it is only a matter of time that this logo that many find insulting will no longer be seen on the fields of the National Football League
