90% of American Indians Not Offended by "Redskins"

Cite

So, seems 90% of American Indians are too busy living productive lives to b**** endlessly about what a football team is called.

Of course, there's been much commentary since the poll came out as to why the poll shouldn't count. Everybody loves democracy until the majority of people disagree with them.

from the cite in the OP .

That's just it you see the numbers don't work , it's not the majority of Native Americans disagreeing with those fighting to get the sports teams to change their names.
Native Americans are less than 1% of the population, so to randomly have gotten 509 native Americans, the Social Science Research Solutions would have had to randomly poll over 50,000 people . That would be a huge sampling of people , wouldn't you say . Don't the companies doing these survey's usually call around 1500 people ?
Not to mention that the reporter in the interview cited in the OP says that the question of supporting the teams names ,was not something that the poll asked .

How the survey was conducted

The survey was conducted in conjunction with weekly national surveys of U.S. adults reached through a random sample of cellular and landline telephones conducted by Social Science Research Solutions of Media, Pa. Toward the end of a survey on a range of topics, respondents who identified their race as Native American were asked a series of questions on views of the Redskins team name and Native American imagery in sports.

I don't care if Indians are offended or not. I would opine that the owner of that team ought have the final decision as to what he wishes to call this team. The public then has the option of supporting that team or not. seems easy to me.

Ah yes, the beauty of democracy. Had the poll found 90% of Native Americans were offended, it would be used as evidence that the name of the football team in Washington is a matter of great national import. There would be thunderous choruses a la Sophocles demanding that the name be changed NOW.

But since the poll found what it found, it doesn't count.

Even if there were poll that said 100% of indians were against the name, redskins, I would still say the name of a private organization is up to the owner and no one else's business.

Oh, look....


Yet another racism thread.



yawn.
