I’m looking forward to the people protesting the name of a football team getting as upset and willing to demonstrate over the poverty, unemployment, alcoholism, infant mortality, shorter life expectancy and overall hopelessness among Natives. I have no problem with changing the name of the Redskins, which is NOT complimentary in any way, but it’s pretty small potatoes compared to the real, life-affecting issues Natives face every day in this country. A little sense of perspective would be as nice as it seems to be naïve.

If they really want to change the name, the DC Redskins would work.

Guilty, it has nothing to do with making the world better, it is mere preening for one’s fellow travelers.

I do think they should get rid of the Washington part.
