Thanks Granite. You know I love you.
And, to an extent, why are the hurt feelings of others my problem?
I detest intentional racial slurs, or deliberate pejorative comments about someone's appearance.
What is tiresome is the unending parade of hurty feelings over trivia.
I used to sing in a choir. We were not allowed to wear perfume, deodorant or aftershave because it might bother some twit with nothing better to do.
We are hemmed in at every turn by trivial pursuits.
Or so it seems to me.
I'm not certain it will withstand appeal, as a legal point. Else, I'd have changed it to the Washington Lobbyists long ago. No other group in the history of this nation has been as feared or powerful.
Redskins? I've never associated it with a negative, but I understand that for more than a few Native Americans it's an ongoing insult. Time to put away that childish thing.
Pretty much. It's got a rotten history from the looks of it and it's just not a good or particularly healthy symbol anymore.

How dare this Navajo Nation school on the Navajo Reservation offend itself by using "Redskins" as their mascott.
I hope the government steps in and tells the Navajo tribe that "Redskins" is offensive to Native Americans.

Could you put those images inside spoiler tags or something. They're breaking the whole page.
Well, that's their issue. And it's a very different issue from when a mostly non-Native team uses the term.

What if a mostly black team uses Vikings?

It is. They should change the name of the football team to the "Generals" and the name of the basketball team to the "Sentinels." Those are names that are representative not only of D.C. but also of their respective sport.

From an article by Tom DiLorenzo
Then there’s the frowning declaration of disapproval that King Obama made over the fact that the Washington Redskins are known as the Redskins. Redskins owner Dan Snynder heroically gave the king a big middle finger (figuratively speaking), causing USA Today and other Official Pronouncers of Acceptable Opinion to throw a hysterical fit. Mr. Snyder may eventually back down, but I hope not. But if he does, here’s my recommendation for a new name for the team that I think will completely satisfy the cultural Marxists: How about the Washington Gaylesianhispanicblacktransvestites? That covers at least some of the Official Mascot Groups of the cultural Marxists.
UPDATE: Emailers have suggested “DC Honky Scalpers” and “Washington Drones” instead of “Redskins.” The latter suggestion came with a recommendation to put a tiny drone icon on the helmets. The former correctly pointed out that “Washington” must also go since it is the name of a famous White Male Oppressor, the ultimate evil in the world of the politically correct. Along those lines, I would also suggest changing the name to , perhaps, the Anacostia Gaylesbianhispanicblacktransvestites.

Yes. Weak minded people are usually easily offended.
