I really couldn't care less if they change the name or not but it's pretty silly not to see why some may be offended by the term and what the reasoning is behind wanting the name changed. Not that I think something being offensive is grounds to change that something but it's important to look at it in context. Trying to compare other teams names to the term "redskins" is pretty silly because there is no other name off the top of my head that is comparable. Certainly not "chiefs" or "vikings."
Also, media outlet or personalities refusing to call the team by its name while it is still the name of the team is self-righteous nonsense.
I guess I'm kinda Moderate Hero on this issue.
