Maybe not a popular or PC answer, but I really don't care. PC is becoming borderline tyranny and I have no use for it. I do value liberty, though.
what a great post.
They've been the "Redskins" for 81 years....why now is it all of a sudden a big deal?! if you don't like the name, don't watch the team play. it really is that simple.
polls across the country show that 85% of native americans ARE NOT offended by the name.
with that said, i'm really not sure what else there is to talk about.

Redskins can stay, just change the mascot to a redskin potato. The fans could affectionately be called "potato heads". They're derogatorily called that now anyway.
Or maybe the "Deficits" in honor of D.C. They could be nicknamed the " Deficients" or the " Defeateds", the "Defectives" or even the "Defecators". Those really work well.
THE NAME WILL NEVER CHANGE. You can put that in all caps.
