I'm half native American, the name really doesn't bother me. I think it's a bit over dramatic to not call the team what the teams name is.

Doesn't hurt my feelings or rub me the wrong way. And ever other native I've talked to doesn't give a damn either.

And it doesn't sound as bad as like, the New York Kikes or Jacksonville Jiggaboos so, I wish non natives would find a more appropriate injustice to rally for.

Snyder is no fool. Skins fans will lose it if he changes the name. That song is like a hymn to them.

Washington DC has many things that offend me. Their "football club" isn't one of them.

It's not like anyone has to call them the Redskins.

There is no such policy.

Hard to believe. I've lived in the D.C. area since coming down for law school in 1973. I have never been a Redskins fan. I think that Dan Snyder is a dick. But I am willing to bet that he will never voluntarily change the team name and I hope he sticks to his guns.

And to all those announcers who are going to call the team "Washington" rather than "Redskins", considering how our government is working (or, more appropriately, not working), I am thinking that "Washington" is more offensive than "Redskin".

It's pathetic how some people get offended for the sake of being offended.

Pretty rich coming from the biggest radio station in a city where their team is called the Saints.
