A name change I could do, as much as it would be awkward since the name "Redskins" is all that I've ever known. Several native groups have stated that the name is generally accepted as a pejorative, and therefore offensive (we don't have a team with black uniforms called the "[insert state name here] N****rs," right?). If they were advocating the complete dissolution of the team or suggesting that the team owners should pay reparations, offering public apologies or something like that, I would be more inclined to say that it's going too far.

I would ask the chiefs of the Indian tribes of that area to decide if they want the name changed or not. If they do, then they can give suggestions but the team picks and it could be something like Redtails.

All the natives I’ve talk to you don’t really care So I’m going to say I don’t care
Yeah I agree. It’s a good name and great logo. 👍👍
I think the name is cool. I don't think it is racist to use the term. Just like Blackhawks is not racist.
I hear they might rename them the Washington Spics. You cool with that?
Agree , we need to stop kissing their asses.
I just don't care whatsoever.
No, all this name changing is stupid.
No, I wouldn't.
You're a ignorant little child huh?
