I just watched the ESPN video regarding the desire to change the name of the Washington Redskins to something else. I wondered what other folks opinions are on these type issues. I know it has effected college sports and at least one ACC member.
Ironically, when I was traveling out west last month, I drove through a Native American Reservation and past a sign for the local High School. You know what their name was? Yep... Redskins. You know what their school logo was? Yes again... the Washington Redskins logo!
I, personally, have no issue with whatever you name a team. Someone will always be offended by a name. There are so many names that someone could consider offensive, where do you draw the line? If the name is offensive to me, I won't be a fan, or attend a game. But I'm not gonna tell someone they can't use that name.
Just wondering about various opinions you might have.
