Washington Redtails?

would have been really outrageous if the native american showed up in whiteface.

The NFL may say officially that “Redskins” “is not a slur,” but 1968 bronze medalist and medal-stand protester John Carlos, a man who has had more than a few invectives tossed his way over the years, disagrees.

Color me utterly unsurprised that Dr. Carlos called on Dan Snyder to change Washington’s football team name.

Speaking to Mike Wise of The Washington Post, Carlos said:

For tribes or reservations to say they’re uncomfortable with you using that name, and then have players say they are just as uncomfortable, and the owner stands there, saying he’ll never change the name? How do you get away with that?…. To this day, there has been no real negotiation or real listening and understanding that I know of.

As I recall, the first time it was mentioned seriously in the past 20 years or so, about the Skins changing their name, Warriors was first suggested new name.

Actually, in the movie, Luther's chant was "Warriorsssss, come out TO plaaaaay"

And it was improvised.

And it's one of the most memorable scenes in the movie. To think of all those young actors who played the Warriors, only James Remar, Ajax, really had a prolific career after that.

There are still rumors about a remake, but until IMDB.com lists it as in pre-production I will be skeptical.

I dunno, but I'd hope and pray Tarantino wrote and directed it.

He was built to remake The Warriors. There's never been a property more in his wheelhouse.

Um yeah, Tarantino has no business with a movie that is in an alternate reality, with lots of violence, snappy dialogue, and a 70's feel.

tarantino does so usually satirically. Neither the book nor the original were satirical or as a homage. I'm not sure where you see him going with that for the Warriors. Tarantino is much more than just violence and snappy dialogue.

I never read the book, so I won't comment on that, but The Warriors movie was every bit as satirical as Inglorious Basterds, Django & The Kill Bills.

satirical? No it wasn't.

My favorite script by Tarantino was True romance, freakin love that flick, violent, love story, great acting, bad ass..
