This should be the new mascot and logo.

Gotta put something out to keep people from lingering on the fact the current president was buddy buddy with a well known sex trafficker.

Thinking Trump is some kind of business genius.

If you shoot somebody and you aren't sent to prison for years, unless it was self defense or something, then whoever prosecuted the case laid an egg.

Did he ever hold an official position during his father's presidency?

Because they do things that aren't a big deal. I helped get a guy a green card once who had a DUI. He was facing removal, but we were able to get the removal order vacated and he ended up getting his green card a few months later. There's lots of others who do extraordinarily stupid things that are relatively minor and wouldn't warrant a deportation. For example, disorderly conduct. That's such a catchall for doing anything in public the police or somebody else don't like. Shouting too loudly could be considered disorderly conduct. People get arrested for things like that frequently. Does that mean somebody should be deported over it? I'd rather deport serious criminals who commit violent crimes.

If we're going back to near history, Thom Ortiz was fired at ASU in 2009 I think. Then his successor Shawn Charles was fired in 2014 to bring in Zeke Jones.

There's nothing new to report. Most people who have a functional brain can read between the lines and figure out that Trump just kept the trophy and never had any intentions of returning it. The Club World Cup is different from the actual World Cup that is being held next year. The players in the CWC don't really care because the CWC has had a few different iterations, and they are all highly paid professionals who are paid very well to play. The trophy isn't as meaningful or iconic as the actual World Cup trophy. To them it's more of an annoyance and something they can laugh off. It would be like if all the best basketball teams from professional leagues around the world held a tournament to see who the best was. Probably all of those players would be extremely wealthy already, and being paid extra for this, so to them these things are somewhat trivial and a joke because they are playing for money and bragging rights. Just an example, suppose LeBron James team won something like that, I doubt he'd do much more than laugh about how stupid it was to keep the trophy and pocket a medal. So to other highly paid athletes it's not as serious as the World Cup. People know Trump is a career con artist and a thief. He's proven it many times with his actions. So it's not surprising he would just keep the trophy and pocket a medal he didn't earn, because he knows he's more likely to get away with it because he's president. Kind of like when he admitted to peeping at teenage girls undressing backstage at a beauty pageant he owned.

Club World Cup is different from the actual World Cup. Also the original trophy is never given to the president of the country to keep.

There's actual video of him reaching for the medal to hand back just after Trump slips it into his pocket. Also he didn't just let Trump keep the trophy, Trump just kept it. Of course he's not going to say that it wasn't supposed to go to Trump. Just like when Putin took a Super Bowl ring.

That doesn't mean it's not true. There's video of him pocketing a medal. The head of FIFA isn't going to tell him he can't have it, or that he can't keep the trophy intended for the CWC winners. FIFA might pull the games from the US anyway. So just because it's not in the news now doesn't mean it didn't happen. Unless you have the attention span of a goldfish.

I'm a registered Republican.

Aggregating the results for easier comparison to the Washington Post 2016 poll, 49% of self-identified Native Americans said the Washington Redskins name was offensive, 38% said not offensive and another 13% were indifferent. But it was thought offensive by 67% of respondents who were heavily engaged in their native or tribal cultures, 60% of young people, and 52% of those with tribal affiliations. https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/02/04/native-mascots-survey/ One of the largest, if not the largest, tribe is definitely against it. https://web.archive.org/web/20160611092013/https://sports.yahoo.com/news/navajo-nation-council-opposes-nfl-101414359--nfl.html

It's a select few, and the native organization behind them wanting to change the name back was funded by the former owner of the team. Sports Illustrated (SI) investigated the various pro-Redskins organizations that spoke or wrote on behalf of Daniel Snyder in court, and found that most were receiving multi-thousand dollar donations from the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation (WROAF), which was founded by Snyder. Specifically, SI found that NAGA received $68,360 from WROAF shortly before an amicus curiae the group made in favor of retaining the Redskins name went public.

Illegal immigrants aren't necessarily criminals. Most of them are just economic refugees who just wanted to earn a better living. Until you're in that position, crossing the border and coming here to work a low wage job, is worth dying for to them. If it meant a better life for you and your family would you take that risk? There's bigger things at stake than crossing a border.

1. Using that term is basically like using the N word. It's not acceptable. Some people might not have a problem with it, but many do. Names change all the time. We had a kerfuffle about it locally because they changed a bunch of street names, school names and park names because somebody figured out the people those things were named after had been members of the KKK. 2. I don't think he really spends much time on anything. Snorting Adderall maybe? 3. Agreed.

I get the distinct feeling that if he could strip Native Americans of US citizenship, he would. He's shown his disdain for them and other brown people over the years.

And there's the game. Can you look at somebody and tell me who doesn't have documentation? What if somebody doesn't commit a crime? Then how are you going to figure it out? It's a fact that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a much lower ratio than US citizens and permanent residents. Not saying everyone is perfect, but if I wasn't there with the right documents, I think avoiding anything that could alert the police to me is something I'd do. I wasn't born in this country. Neither was my wife. Her status is very clear as a permanent resident. It's still unsettling that one or both of us could get swept up.

Glad he's wanting to make sure a team reverts to a nickname that is a racial slur, and that another pro team goes back to a mascot that is an offensive caricature. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/45783141/trump-calls-commanders-guardians-reverse-name-changes He must really like native Americans, after all who can forget his ad campaign when they wanted to build a casino that might take away from the casinos he bankrupted. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.indianz.com/News/amp.asp%3fID=mm/8302000-1
