[QUOTE="LapoftheRugbyGods, post: 1049053, member: 81248"] You can't compare the name Crusaders to the Redskins.The term Redskins was always a derogatory name for native Americans. The term Crusaders was a term used by the Europeans for the 3 Christian Military expeditions against Islamic forces. If people perceive the name Crusader as somehow offensive why doesn't anyone mention the use of Saracens which was the term europeans used for the Crusaders's Islamist opponents. If anything that's offensive as its a european Christian word for middle easterners with roots in the arabic term sariq meaning thief or plunderer. [/QUOTE]
