Amazing to me an owner, someone with intellect, doesn't get it when it comes to his teams name, another idiot who suprised me with his ignorance, or stupidity, or whatever you wanna call it, joe Gibbs, he literally said, " we fought as redskins, we won championships as redskins, our history is steeped in redskin tradition, I don't see anything wrong with the name.

Lol, if that isn't the blindest batsh&$ dumass crap I've ever heard..

Your disrespecting a large race of people you freaking idiots, change the stupid name..

I swear I hope people this insensitive, this dumb, get their dose of karma right back in their face, and their pockets.

The really stupid thing about it, is that many are saying its just a name and the Native Americans need to get over it, buuuuuuuuuut then say the Redskins name gives them pride and tradition and is too important to change.

In other words, its not important enough to change because its too important to change. Its effing stupid.

On top of that, the argument is that it would basically be wrong to do that to handful of football fans but its perfectly fine to insult the entire native American population.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

America has been insulting the Native Americans ever since they first stepped off a boat. What makes anyone tink these people will do the right thing now? The only way it happens is by hurting their pocket. You would need the stadium to be empty a game or two to make the change happen fast.

The players of the Clippers said, if Sterling was kept as the owner, they would not play there. Sitting out would effect the money and a change was made. I fear it will take the same thing for Snyder to do something. Hopefully, the team AND fans do something.

My favorite script by Tarantino was True romance, freakin love that flick, violent, love story, great acting, bad ass..

QT was an unknown when he submitted two scripts to the studios. They liked both, but did not feel comfortable with him directing both. So they gave him the choice of directing either Reservoir Dogs or True Romance. He chose the former while the late Tony Scott was hired to direct the latter.

True Romance is probably my 2nd favorite of all the movies written and/or directed by QT. My favorite is Inglourious Basterds. I agree with your sentiments about True Romance.

I really don't see QT directing a remake of anyone else's movie. He's not done that before. All his stuff is pretty original other than paying homage to a genre. That is the closest he comes to remaking anything. Some people incorrectly assume however that Inglourious Basterds is a remake because there was an obscure movie from the 70s named The Inglorious Bastards.

As for whether or not the movie The Warriors would fall under the genre of "satire", I do not agree that it would. Neither does IMDB.com.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080120/

As for any QT movies being considered of the "satire" genre...IMO none that he directed are of that genre. Again, IMDB.com does not consider any movies he directed to be satire either.

Here is a list of all the movies that IMDB.com considers "Satire," "Social Satire," or "Political Satire" :

http://www.phi-phenomenon.org/misc/satire1.htm

The only one associated with QT that I can see on that list is Natural Born Killers, which he wrote.

While I suppose anyone is free to consider any movie as being a satire if they like, when it comes to The Warriors, or QT directed movies, it sure is not the opinion of what is probably the best movie information and reference website that they are.

Edit: After looking through this link on IMDB.com , http://www.imdb.com/keyword/satire/?title_type=feature ,
I found also True Romance, which QT wrote, on the more extensive list than the one on the above link.

that movie makes you wanna fall in love with a cute hooker, defend her honor, kill her pimp, steal some money,and go on a road trip across the country to start a new life..

Another great argument I see being tossed around is, "None of the Native Americans had any problem with the name until the PC police came around and told them they had a problem."

Generally speaking, when people use the term, "PC" I write off their opinions as stupid.

How could anyone know that? That's like saying no event happened UNTIL it was reported on.

More than that, it implies NAs just decided to pick something out of the blue to be upset about, which ignores the fact the "redskins" has been a derogatory name since at least the early 1900's.

Again, we're left with people being offended that some would want to do the worst thing ever....change a name of a football team.

The US Patent office has cancelled the Redskins trademark registration, meaning that unless the ruling is overturned then Snyder and the NFL will almost certainly be forced to change the name or have no actual control over the use of their logo and brand.

If I was Snyder and was forced to change the name, I would move the team to los Angeles! Might as well, there would be no more history with the team!

Who gets stuck with the bill attached to forcing them to change the team name?

Should change the name to the Washington "Don't Tread Me's" or Angels something Patriotic or Christian to make up the money with the people who love to support bigotry with money.
