A never ending debate that never seems to go away or change in conversation.
Nancy Pelosi has never been shy about her feelings when it comes to politics but now she voiced her opinion in the politics of the NFL. Speaking to the National Congress of American Indians, House Minority Leader Pelosi thinks its time for the offense of Native Americans to end.
“We all respect freedom of speech, but the trademark office has rejected names which are considered offensive and they should do it now,” Pelosi told the National Congress of American Indians, via the Huffington Post. “They can keep their name on the team, but when it comes to all the stuff — that’s serious money. So I think that is one path that we can go.”
Pelosi won’t be the last to rally against the “Redskin” name. Hopefully something will be done to ease all sides of the issue.
