Not necessarily people who are offended by the name. I'm more referring to PC Nazis like Barack Obama who tried to use the federal government (FCC and other regulations) and lawsuits to force the Redskins to change the name.

There are plenty of things that offend me that I don't sue people about.

A. I was talking about the minority (the 10%) who are offended.

B. There are also plenty of things that offend me, but nothing that fits in this realm. My ancestors were not oppressed in this country.

That's fine. Nothing wrong with being offended by something. If it bothers them enough, they can abstain from any & all Redskins' games or even the NFL altogether. More power to 'em if they do that; it shows they're true to their convictions.

What I have a problem with is when they try to shove it down everyone else's throats like the Social Justice Nazis do.

Reminds me of when there was this big outcry over the show Married With Children. Bunch of morons were offended and thought it needed to be banned. The response from the actors was basically if it offends you so much, don't watch it.

Everyone else's or some football fans?

Well, if you start using a coercive force to compel a team to change its name, then that would qualify as everyone. Or at least everyone who follows football.

I'm sure people who don't follow sports at all wouldn't care.

This is what I was talking about with perspective.

I follow most sports and football is probably my favorite. I don't feel like I'm being forced to go along with anything. I don't have a vested interest, so I'm deferring to those who do (while having an understanding of where it comes from).

Maybe you should use some of your superior perspective and view that in the context of what I was quoting.

I don't have a vested interest, so I'm deferring to a small minority of those who do and disregarding what the vast majority think (while having an understanding of where it comes from).

Doesn't matter to me...but if they still want to be called a type of apple or grape..then that's on them....lol

I'll just call them what I think they should consider changing it to... the Washington Potomacs.

*or just plain ol' Washington, w/o the nickname. period.

Personally, I'd suggest Razorbacks if they were to change it. Would jive with their history and traditions in a more positive way.

Washington Warriors would work well, and they could keep the logo even.

Part of the problem is they'd still get criticism from activists if they kept the logo. It's not just the name, it's being used as a mascot which offends a good number of them. They'd just have the same problem the Cleveland Indians did and still do with Chief Wahoo. The GS Warriors as far as I know use about zero imagery related to NA's anymore.
