Pussification of America.

When you find out that you're 7 year old cousin is learning that "Pilgrim" is offensive and that the new politically correct term is "pioneer", it's outrageous.

LOL, I'm being absurb?

We're talking about ****ing mascots. Lets put this in perspective here.

Lets just go ahead and strip the name Redskins from Washington while we're at it? Ya know, since non-Native Americans that seem to feel like they can determine what's offensive to Native Americans.

Tyler, why are you being so difficult? The Patriots didn't even play this week. I know for a fact you aren't that dense.

Simply put: It's in very poor taste. Period.

You do know Native groups have tried to get the Redskins to change their name and logo for years now right?

Right, but I'm not sure I see that as offensive towards native americans. It may not have been a necessary comment to make, but if anything, to me it seems more offensive to people who'd prefer to not have to think about it, which they are forced to do when someone makes a comment like that. I'm not here to argue whether or not it should still be thought or talked about, but I'm just not sure I'd call it "offensive". I imagine, with his political stance, Olberman brought it up more in support of native americans than anything.

Mmmmkay, I'm gonna nip this one in the bud.

Lets just all agree that Olberdouche isn't funny and shouldn't be doing football highlights.
