I could understand if it was about changing a name like the "Mississippi Slavers". If the Redskins don't fight through this, a whole lot of other changes in sports is coming. The Braves, The Fighting Illini, The Indians, The Saints; yes, The Saints. The Saints refers to a Christian belief and it's offensive to non Christians.
I hope all sports fans stand with Washington. The Washington Redskins, that is.
I doubt it opens up Pandoras Box. Braves is pretty much a tribute. Redskins is kind of like being the Washington Pale Faces or the Washington Colords. Braves falls along the lines of Seminole or Warriors, or even something like Red Tails or Mayflower. I don't see this being a problem for many other teams. Now that Cleveland Indians logo...idk man. Lol.
