Haven't seen any input from this group. Is the name change issue just PC motivated with no practical thought?

I know a couple, they couldn't care less about the Redskins' name.

I assume from the way you address them in the subject title that you have already decided what you think they think.

In an article I read recently they polled a fairly large sample of American Indians, with 80% not offended,and 20% offended.

Better question is this: why are so many white people ANGRY at the thought of changing that name?

A Blackjack dealer in Philadelphia, Mississippi said he couldn't care less.

But, he said there will always be Native Americans who will be offended by most anything.

He said Natives are just like any other minority, they don't want to be made fun of.

He didn't see a problem with "Redskins".

Unlike the Braves old mascot Chief Noc-A-Homa.

That was very offensive.

for your vote to count, how much american indian blood do you need to have? would the tribes word be good or would one have to prove their ancestry?

and then, if the vote was 51/49, should all native american named objects, teams, etc have to change their name? would the names of all highways, streets, subdivisions, rivers, etc that were named using indian names have to be changed? what about cities? big cloud north dakota is fricked.
