Hail to the Red Tails.

Letters signed by 50 U.S. senators urging the league to change the Washington Redskins name were sent on Thursday to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
The senators draw a parallel between the NBA's no-tolerance policy regarding the racist comments made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and asks the NFL to act similarly.
"Today, we urge you and the National Football League to send the same clear message as the NBA did: that racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports," the senators write. "It's time for the NFL to endorse a name change for the Washington, D.C. football team.
"The despicable comments made by Mr. Sterling have opened up a national conversation about race relations. We believe this conversation is an opportunity for the NFL to take action to remove the racial slur from the name of one of its marquee franchises."
Oneida Nation CEO Ray Halbritter said in a statement. "The R-word is a dictionary defined racial slur."

LOL. You can say "Redskin" on TV, radio or in print as much as you want. The "n word" is still that- the word that isn't said. Trying to make that comparison is quite dumb.

It is a racial slur but it has been a socially accepted one for that franchise for decades and no body seemed to care (though I'm sure there have always been small scale protests about it), why it has become such a big issue now is beyond me.
