Maybe I'm in the minority on this board but I think the name has got to go.
Names like Braves, Seminoles, Illini -- all fine in my book.
But Redskins? Sorry....but it is overtly racist and has no place in modern sports.
That's my opinion and I'm not alone in it. And honestly, it isn't about whether specific individuals are offended, but rather it is about what we communicate as "acceptable." I just don't find it acceptable for an NFL team to have an overtly racist name.
