Maybe some of the 'Skins players will get popped in the hamstrings with arrows by protesting Native Americans....not that the Saints need the help, but the irony would be hilarious.

I'm offended at the Ragin Cajuns name. No way we are ragin!!! That needs a change.

Easterbrook, on Page 2, has been raising hell about it for years. The "Potomac Basin Indigenous Peoples" is what he calls the Skins. lol

I'm offended by the name Saints.

No one becomes a saint until they've been dead and THEN performed miracles.

And to think Brees threw a perfect game while he was alive.

Would any of our African-American members be insulted by a similar team name?

Would the Biloxi Blackskins (with a black warrior mascot dressed in full African tribal attire) be insulting?

Or how about the New Jersey Yellowskins, (with a chinese mascot in charlemagne monk's robes)?

Personally I think its a lot more insulting than most of the PC crap that most of the US population considers insulting today.

Put me down as finding the term "Redskins" insulting, at least relative to what everyone else generally accepts as taboo nowadays.

i know...just call them the washington football players...please people lighten up...people can find offense where they want..the word "saints" is a catholic thing..should all non-catholics be offended?..if you are, root for someone else..the pc world we live in makes me sick
...go saints

Funny they may have already changed their name to The DeadSkins, that's what they call them around here. But to me that's insulting to the dead.
