You imply that our and the team owners reasons for wanting to keep the name can not be any where near as deeply personal and important as your reasons for wanting it changed. I love my team. I have loved my team since the age of 5. to me they are the Redskins and that has NEVER been a negative term in the way I have used it or known it. so yea, to be forced to change the name would be deeply and personally insulting and hurtful.
I do understand that it would be deeply personally hurtful and insulting to you (name change) This has been my team too since 1961, but the name has offended (and reminded) my family of a tragic and unnecessary loss. It is NOT the teams' fault that every time we see the name we are reminded of that loss. All I ask and have ever asked is for others to understand that it is also deeply and personally insulting and hurtful to me and mine.
We've had this conversation before....surprised that you didn't remember.
