You would have every right to insist I take it off or I should be prepared to suffer the consequences.
And not going to the games does not remove the name and the sting. Pretty safe bet 99.99999% of those offended have never been to a Redskins game. Every time they see SportsCenter or watch other teams play the Redskins name will be heard, the highlights will be seen. The name will be there for them even if they try to avoid it. That is not the answer.
Actually if we are in a public place, I would have no more right to insist you take off your shirt, than you would have to tell me to polish your shoes.
So unless you are saying we are morally obligate to NEVER offend any one by action or word, and failing the moral obligation it should be federally mandated, IM kinda not sure what you expect. And i would be willing to bet that about 85% of those "offended" where not offended until some one explained to them just how offended they should be.
But like I said, check the horses you are backing. Look at what Harjo, Blackhorse and Halbrite are REALLY going after. They dont just want the Redskins name... this is all leading up to a multi million/Billion dollar law suit. So forgive me if I find their outrage and pain just a tad bit manufactured.
