~Official protest of the name has been ongoing for 45 years!

~Even IF "redskin" was acceptable as 18th century translation---meaning, Indians referred to themselves (in English) by skin color as "red people"---would a team want to call itself the Negroes because there exists a United Negro College Fund? Would you argue "Negro" is a name that associates itself with "honor"?

~Was the term "redskin" not also applied as a pejorative while they were being systematically exterminated?

~The "redskin"-loving Chief Dodson, who Dan Snyder trotted out for endorsement, wasn't a real chief of anything!

Et cetera


I can go on, but what's the point? My opinion is what it is. I'd like to see it changed. I believe the NFL brand integrity is strengthened by changing it.
