Should the Washington Redskins change their name?

[ingemann]

I have a few question.

Now I know nothing about American Football, so I don't know how important the Redskins are as a team.

But how much of the media's focus on the team are because of the perceived offensive name? How would a name change effect the Redskins. Would they simply become something of a ignored team or are they important enough, that there would still be focus on them?
