Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

To say the least the MSM was not pleased with the results proclaiming that Native Americans just MUST be as offended and outraged as they are so in 2019 the WaPo conducted a second poll which addressed most of the concerns expressed about their first one. Guess what. They still found that the overwhelming majority, just under 70% aren't offended by the name.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAnd yet two years later the WaPo conducted a poll of Native Americans concerning the team's name and lo and behold they found that 90% of the respondents were "not bothered" by the team's name. That 2016 poll confirms the results of an earlier Annenberg poll in 2004 which likewise found that 90% were not bothered by the name and only 9% found it offensive.
So I guess liberals no longer consider the Washington Post to be credible.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
