You have not presented a compelling argument of why changing a team name from a racial slur to something that is not a racial slur is a bad idea

probably because he didn't say anything about the redskins changing their name or not, but in your faulty logic.

Also, I can say TheGoldenEel is a racial slur. You should change your name. >0 people are offended by your name. By your logic, you now have to change it.

When native Americans were polled twice over a 12 year period of time and both times came back 90% don't find it offensive. White people saying THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO NATIVES, doesn't really mean anything.

the groups that care the most about the names of sports teams, are the same ones who get almost all of their donations from people for that "cause". So what's more likely, there's this large angry group of natives and it's just a conspiracy that polling never reflects it...or there's a small group who saw a way to capitalize on white guilt in the wake of the actually offensive caricatures that were many teams named after natives. Just like Dan Synder isn't changing the name because he had a sudden change of heart, he's changing it over money. Always follow the money.

You can already hear the rumblings turning towards the Chiefs once the Redskins do officially change their name. After of course the fine white people like yourself take your victory lap for your great victory!
