Maybe we can get them to flip a coin or call high card for the naming rights...

I don't mind it and I feel we are getting too politically correct. Keep it.

Everybody ask yourself one question, how we'll would it go over if someone decided to start a NFL team in say Alabama and wanted call them the Alabama blackskins,
They could dress mascot up in overalls and call him Jim or Toby .
Walk around barefooted.

You'd be crucified, fined, banned and sued .

I think it's laughable that it was never an issue till now. I've never once heard, or read, that it is a derogatory name until now. I hope Snyder keeps it.

So Indians named the team 40 something years ago and now these new Indians are offended.

Why didn't you use something derogatory toward white people? Because you know we wouldn't be offended? Call them the fricking crackers for all I care....or is it because white people can't be offended?

No one is "native" to the Americas.

Calling them "Native Americans" is as dumb as calling them "Redskins" is offensive, and should offend anyone who was born on this continent.

"People who got here first" is accurate, but too long.

Can we please go back to calling them "American Indians"?

More like some guilty white people decided to be offended for them because Native Americans don't give a shite.
