So perhaps the real question is, do you guys not think "redskins" is a racist slur on par with calling an Asian person "yellow" or even the N word? That is what separates this name from the others.
No. I think it's been the name of a football team since 1932, and a team who has seen some of the finest in the game pass through their facilities thoughout the years, nothing more.
Their football tradition won't end by a long-overdue name change. If anything, the name taints that tradition.
If they'd been founded in 32 as the Washington N*****s (or some other equally racist ethnic slur), their 80+ years of many great players wouldn't warrant keeping the name a day longer.
The only difference is there are relatively few Native Americans in DC or nationally who can bring sufficient political or economic clout to bare.
Here are some other suggestions:
The Dallas Dagoes
The Denver Kikes
The Mighty Micks of Minneapolis
How'd you like them apples, whitey?
