Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 798952, member: 204"] That would be the safe conclusion. But a few things to consider. First, the name "Redskins" is in fact offensive. The name "Saltine Warrior" is not offensive. Second, Halbritter and the University have established a strong financial/marketing relationhsip. Third, I have suggested that the Oneidas/Halbritter and the Onondagas create a character that is true to their culture - that presents their people in the positive/unique light that they deserve. The establishment of a charachter crafted by the Oneidas/Onondagas would establish its credibility and would help promote their culture - it would be a very positive thing for all involved - it would demonstrate how the Redskins approach is the wrong approach. Having said that, I suspect that it will never happen. [/QUOTE]
