Oh, I'd say the same thing too.

none of them want to though. maybe one or two tribes but not enough to give a fuck about.

Actually it is the tribes pushing this. Mainly Sioux and Navajo, the largest tribes in the country.

Okay well I guess I shouldn't go by what I hear on the radio all the time. Yet am I supposed to be offended at the Notre Dame "Fighting Irish" if I'm irish??

Up to you. I think the history of both are very different so that effect how each group feels about these topics.
Hack Wilson - real:
the only point I plan to make is that indian names are all over sports (Indians, Braves, Warriors, Semiloles, Blackhawks and more) yet all people bitch about is the Redskins. why? Football is the most popular sport.
The Semiole tribes in Florida have no problem with the 2014 national champ FSU Seminoles but you don't hear this on BSPN because they got an agenda to sell. Nobody in DC really gives a fuck about this topic unless it means changing to the Washington Seahawks and trading for the entire Seattle roster in order to change the name lol

The idea of hating all Native names is so 1990's. If you argued this in the 70's or 80's or 90's, then you see backlash to all names. But over time the tribes only focused on the "offensive" names, the Redskins and Indians. Right now the focus on one team, many because it is easier to get people against a slur as opposed to the whole set of names. Plus Florida St. asked the Seminoles to use the name and the tribe said yes. On the flip side the North Dakota fighting Sioux asked the Sioux nation to use the name, that tribe said no. For college sports it was a tribe by tribe deal.
