Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 642721, member: 780"] So you think that this discussion "promoted civility" and "reduces friction between societal elements"? I'd say it does pretty much the opposite. The native Americans have way, way bigger problems than the what the mascot of the Washington NFL team is. Years ago, when I was an undergrad, I worked at a resort ranch in Paradise Valley, AZ for a few months and there were some Native Americans on the staff. The Arizonans treated them like dogs. No bad names ... but they just abused them. I was appalled. I have been on some Reservations in the past few years. Ramshackle housing, house trailers, and alcohol abuse are rampant. And some are worried about the mascot of the Washington NFL franchise. [/QUOTE]
