Fuck that, leave the team name intact. Anyone who can't look at the team without getting offended needs thicker skin.
i aint guna comment on this shit, but this article says that the term "redskins" was coined by native's as a term of utmost respecthttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/02/AR2005100201139.html
What it comes down to for me, is listen to the Native American population. If the majority wants it changed then do it. Politically correct white people and "traditionalists" shouldn't be the ones deciding shit like this.

I think the Indians mascot/name is way more offensive, but that's just me

Mainly Sioux and Navajo, the largest tribes in the country.

Yet am I supposed to be offended at the Notre Dame "Fighting Irish" if I'm irish??
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
