Message: [QUOTE="thorpedo, post: 1083315, member: 3010"] I recently had a very respectful and interesting conversation with a friend who happens to be a full blooded nation member. I brought up Syracuse football in our discussion and my desire to return our name back to Saltine Warriors. He began to go into the whole Redskins debate but I stated that it was not to create a divide but rather bridge a gap or divide which exists in our community. A way to unify and have the University connect back with its local heritage and truly celebrate the courage, honor and bravery of the nation. Now I know this can be a touchy subject to discuss. I can envision a tribe member leading the team on the field. I don't find a fruit intimidating at all. Eventually, after expressing my idea he thought it was brilliant and truly respectful way of approaching the issue. Btw he is 100% for changing redskins name. He equates it to a racial slur. Thoughts ideas? Oh be gentle in your replies please lol [/QUOTE]
