I personally would never disrespect anyone on purpose but what if a Native American owned the team and called them pale face with decal on helmet will your views be the same or differ?

I have some Native American friends and they say fighting about this is ignorant. They said Washington Redskins name was because of the fierce nature and the never give up style of the Indian people. Although the name can be seen as disrespectful to some, most see it as a sign of respect. They also said that "true" native Americans that still live the life of their people could care less. They are not caught up in our way of life.

Next we will have to change the names of all animal teams because PETA says we are disrespecting the animals.......
