Just to be clear here...you are referring to the Native American groups who feel the term is derogatory as being "faux butt-hurt"?
White, non Native American Liberals is who I am referring to. That is who is driving this thing.
How often do you hear of Native Americans referred to as "redskins" in everyday life? Do right wingers continue to throw that term around without thought or care when referencing Native Americans? When addressing the topic, do conservative politicians say things like "I just don't understand what the problem is with those redskins"? The answer, of course, is no...because it's a derogatory term.

no, its because its the name of a football team and no one thinks to use it when referring to indians
I thought Witch hunts were illegal now?
Throw all of congress in jail I say
Be that as it may, it wasn't congress who did this. It was a bunch of liberals at the US patent office using the Obama, Chicago-style playbook: use and abuse any government agency possible to tip the scales of justice away from your political opponents (See IRS "computer crash" fiasco).
Amanda Blackhorse from an interview in 2009:
ATL: When did you start thinking about team mascots this way?
Blackhorse: During my sophomore year at the University of Kansas, I started to become aware of my history as a Native American. I grew up on a Navajo reservation but never learned my history.
Chief Illiniwek's first appearance at the football game against Penn State, Oct. 30, 1926. He is standing next to the Penn State mascot, 'William Penn.
I can respect your position. I don't think public opinion really matters here. If the NA community does not support it, they have their reasons for it. Many don't understand why they are against a lot of the indian mascots either.
