The Indigenous Bowl's Impact on Native American Communities | NFL Films Presents

[@jchasew342]

My grandmother is Paiute. I’ve seen her celebrate her families heritage and I’ve always loved it and I love football. This is awesome

[@yomamazmain1802]

This is KOO!!!! NFL needs to recognize the contributions to this sport more often, from all aspects of the world!!! Amazing stuff you guys!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@hannahl5306]

I thought you were talking about the Falcons kicker 😅

[@billyyank5807]

That running back has some skills for sure.

[@scazermazz]

I find it interesting that the NFL goes all over the world looking for players when there's talent right in our backyard.

[@kimdracula1995]

The more diversity the more money

[@10FN0N3]

What if the natives wanted them to change the name from redskins because they did want to be associated with a bad football team 😂

[@MrL1983]

Natives didn't want the change or really cared about it anyway. It was self-hating white liberals that wanted it changed, and the league caved.

[@johnhutchison9782]

Always a great day when a Yooper gets some press!!!

[@tyjandrews]

We took their land and identity, but here's a mini documentary!

[@blank-vj1mc]

It wasn’t their land, as they have been taking it from nature and from each other for tens of thousands of years.

[@shanefoster6976]

Now I'm hearing about this I'm a little disappointed in my hometown Chiefs. I've been saying this for quite some time that one of the best things for us to do would be to show our respects and using the name by giving back to those that are struggling on the reservations.

[@kimdracula1995]

Wish people would realize the NFL is only doing this to save their ass. Lol

[@rubinpalmer8369]

I love it

Bro that coach is a white man and so is bro grandmother we know who the real natives is

[@tanklad7917]

What did native Americans think about the redskins? Would love an opinion from someone

[@jackied.v.carson6059]

As someone who grew on the Cherokee reservation, and still lives very near it. Most people I grew up with were either indifferent to the name or directly supported it. It was never perceived as racist, and still is not amongst most Indians.

[@tanklad7917]

Thanks for the reply, I’m a massive football fan and from wales, uk. Nice to have a genuine opinion rather than media interpretations

[@ericjessup63]

see: Wellpinit Redskins, Red Mesa Redskins, Donna Redskins en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Redskins_name_opinion_polls

[@redskinsman10]

You will find, with alot of research, the vast majority of Native Americans supported the Redskins. The word itself doesnt have an origin based in racism.

[@Troplord]

It celebrated the Native head coach and 4 players that were on the team. It's a good name. what about the Chiefs?

[@blank-vj1mc]

Reminder that no human being is indigenous to the continental Americas.

[@blank-vj1mc]

@Rowdy Jr I mean I don’t subscribe to the theory of radical black immigration but hey, everybody gets something right.

[@blank-vj1mc]

@Rowdy Jr No, they aren’t, you moron. Blacks are indigenous to Africa since you see literally no other black people emerge from any other corner of the world. You don’t know what words mean and you get your ignorant and racist talking points from other uneducated morons that don’t even know how to use a dictionary. And I looked up that Dane dude. Isn’t he some gay guy that has been repeatedly debunked by even other black Israelites?

[@blank-vj1mc]

@Rowdy Jr You got any proof or are you just gonna spout “we wuz kangz n shiet” at me?

[@blank-vj1mc]

@Rowdy Jr You’re just saying bullshit.

[@blank-vj1mc]

@Rowdy Jr Yep, and you’re a sparkling example of it.

[@Lonely-DmoeN]

Nfl missed an opportunity to have the capitals host this to save face and keep their original name tragic

[@selfloathingweekly]

I miss the dislike bar

[@billyjoe1567]

It’s great that the NFL is doing this for these kids, but let’s not forget that until three years ago they had a team named after a slur against Indigenous people.

[@bubsterjohnson7438]

None of us real indians ever found those team names to be offensive lol it was the woke community who wanted attention getting those changed

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

But it wasn’t a racial slur to the majority of the Indian community. Only a small fraction of them hate the name

[@bubsterjohnson7438]

@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw exactly lol I always thought it was cool having a indians head as the logo of an NFL team but I guess others though different

[@blank-vj1mc]

“They used a slur!” All of the reservation schools with the same name and mascot: “oh no, how devious!”

[@dansweda712]

Yeah, this is cool, they should have a all Jewish college basketball game

[@FPSDALLAS]

seems a bit racist in non inclusive

[@billyyank5807]

Dude,seriously? You can go back under your rock. It's racist and disgusting how the U.S. treats Native Americans. Your comment, point example, implying they are racist. Stfu. Go back under your rock.

[@tanklad7917]

Literally watching native Americans enjoying this bowl and then your whining

[@blank-vj1mc]

@@billyyank5807 The honorable white man stands up for the noble savage. You are a hero to every closeted racist leftist.

[@hughjanusguy]

now where’s the jewish bowl? how about the black or white bowl? no asian bowl?

[@redskinsman10]

As a Jew, a Jewish Bowl would be awesome.
