The 10 Most Confusing Things About Football to an Outsider

Quote:
#3. Is There Really Still a Team Called the Redskins in This Day and Age?

If you've followed football long enough, I guess you get used to it, but if you've just started getting to know NFL teams, you sort of do a double take the first time you find out that there is a team named after, let's face it, a racial slur. Admittedly, an old-timey racial slur. It is like stumbling upon a team called the San Francisco Chinamen or the New York Dagoes or something.


People who take no offense to this would include 99% of the American public, the (NBA) Boston Celtics and the (post-purge NCAA) Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

And the guys that told the NCAA, "It's not racist, it's pride"
