Did you think that NFL team in the Washington D.C. area took notice?

p>The term “redskin” is an old Euro-American name for Native Americans, referring, which is very unflattering and demeaning to them. In the past, there was a going rate for the scalps or hides of indigenous men, women, and children. These “redskin” trophies could be sold to most frontier trading posts. “Redskins” as used by the Washington National League football team, was a poor choice from the beginning. It was an unflattering name given to Indigenous Peoples by Euro-Americans. br> — Jeff Brownell br> Herndon, Virginia /p> p> I think this is what will finally bring an end to the obsolete NCAA. All 18 teams named by the NCAA should pull out, start forming their own association, and invite other institutions who have the intestinal fortitude to join them. After about three years hopefully about 60 to 70 per cent of current NCAA members will have jumped ship and joined the “ACAA” (my idea for their name — American Collegiate Athletic Association). Maybe somebody with the money (“follow the money!”) will read this and pull the right strings to get it started. br> — Cloyd Brown br> Roanoke, Virginia /p>
