Cmv: the term redskin is not equivalent to the n word.:
Throughout the debate with the Washington Redskins I keep hearing the argument that a teamed named the Washington Redskins is the equivalent of having a team named the Detroit N*****s.

This to me is illogical: First off when has anyone every heard the word Redskin outside of talking about the professional football team? Has anyone used the word Redskin out of hate? I am not sure as to whether or not it is a racist term but I am going to assume it is. However, Redskin is not similar at all to using the N word just simply on how the word is used in context.
