Yeah. It's impossible to figure it out anymore. Seems you can't win for losing these days. Hopefully this all doesn't snowball into something much worse. I don't think we'll see all names referring to anything native american get ousted, but I'd hate to see a bunch of bickering filtering throughout all sports over something that is generally, if not entirely meant to honor these tribes. I guess we'll see.

whatever you think of the offensiveness of the Redskins name

this is a major infringement on free speech and the first amendment
you don't have rights to your commercial trademarked property
your livelyhood

this pc crap has gotten out of control

this is unconstitutional and opens a whole floodgate for what the Government can dictate

I would love to see people rush out and buy Redskin gear and attend games throughout the nfl this season

"Half-Breeds"

Would we find the name "Blackskins" or "Yellowskins" offensive? Look up the word redskins in the dictionary.

I wouldn't find "Coonasses" offensive. Just saying.
