Correction:

New study finds 67% of American Indians decide to make silly palefaces look even sillier, by pretending they give two hoots about what the whiny ones called one of their football teams.

I've never told an Indian what they are allowed to think and feel.

From now on they will be known simply as the Redskins!
That would be much less offensive to me. The term "Washington" carries a lot of offensive baggage like NSA spying, IRS abuse of power, killing American citizens, etc, etc.

Isnt "Packers" a reference to a certain kind of sex that some people find enjoyable but most people find offensive?
