Change their name
-The Redskins were founded by a NATIVE AMERICAN
-Founders of professional sports teams name their organizations after RESPECTABLE things such as Patriots, Bears, Lions, Eagles, Tigers, or Angels. Thus, Native Americans should be proud of having a team named after them. |

First off, that's offensive to them. The Patriots are a good name because they represent soldiers The Bears are an animal The Lions are an animal The Eagles are birds The Tigers are an animal The Angels are holy things from above The Redskins = That's basically like calling someone a neegar or a negro. |

| They've always had a native American name, weather it was the Boston Braves, the Boston Redskins, or the Washington Redskins. They should change it to the Washington Politicians Who Don't Know How To Run A Country(s) |

| You don't know how a Native American feels when they're called that though. It's an offensive word to them. So Washington needs to change their name or hit the road. Can you imagine a team called the Washington Negros? |

Braves = Still Indian. Mohawks is indian too. They have already been the Braves, so I doubt it will happen. Probably they will become the Washington Lying Politicians. |

| Look at it like this: if it was the Washingto Negros or the Washington Crackers or the Washington Chinks, you'd have people up in arms. So why is it okay for them to have the Washington Redskins? |

| I seen something where they changed the logos on hats and changed the name to put things into perspective. It was the New York Jews and San Francisco China men or something like that. |
