Should the Washington Redskins change their name?

To me, the Cleveland Indians and their logo is worse, but I can't separate "Fighting Irish" and their logo, Yankees, WVU Mountaineers, and the Seminoles and their spear logo concept - as well as others - from this.

I think you can, though, because "redskin" is an actual racist word.

How does it punish you to rename a football team?

Because it would be giving into the politically correct lovers.

Show me on the doll where political correctness touched you.

What about the Minnesota Vikings?  Their name and logo could be construed as offensive to Scandinavians.

The difference between the Vikings and the Celtics on the one hand, and the Redskins on the other, is that the Vikings and Celtics are home teams of large Scandinavian and Irish communities, so were chosen to represent those communities with pride.

In the case of the Redskins, it was plucking a completely different nation's identity, choosing an offensive term, and using it as a mascot.

That's problematic as well.

So Native Americans are a different nation from other Americans?

That is what they call themselves - Seneca Nation, Cherokee Nation, etc.
