Out of all the problems we face, Democrats have honed in on the name of a football team, defies logic.
(CNSNews.com) – Del. Eni F.H. Faleomavaega (D-American Samoa) took the House floor Wednesday to criticize the name of the Washington Redskins football team, calling it a “moral issue.”
Faleomavaega said, “It is not even about sports. This is a moral issue that reaches far back to the time when Native Americans were not only considered outcasts but deemed enemies, rebels and traitors by the colonial government. The only sporting involved was the game of hunting and killing Indians like animals for money.”
“The origin of term ‘Redskin’, Mr. Speaker, is commonly attributed to the historical act of not only killing Native Americans, but also cutting off certain body parts and scalping. Even scalping heads of women and children.” […]
Faleomavaega said, “Mr. Limbaugh to Mr. Snyder to Mr. Goodell and all NFL club owners, I ask, ‘Haven’t American Indians suffered enough?’”
