Dan Snyder seems adamant about keeping the name the same. The Native American community has some words about that though. What do yall think?

No, ? all 15 of them ? , we're keeping the namePeople need to do history before they protest or want something change. Research showed that in Native American Culture the term Redskin was a term of endearment. It was also a term created by the Indians not the whtie people who killed em off.

Nope.
Native Americans and other people that feel some kind of way about the name should just boycott everything Redskin related and/or the NFL in general.
I think most ratchet reality shows, most rappers, and most of BET's show lineup is an embarrassment to black people, but I can't get them to change it. Best I can do is not partake. -

? Dan Snyder and George Preston Marshall this team more than any other has a legacy of racism and endorsing the idea of white supremacy that continues to this day.

They actually got a gang of'em in Oklahoma, and they own most of the casinos from OK to Texas to California.
(That "Osage" logo on Skylar Diggins' Tulsa jersey is a casino owned by the Osage Indians in their reservation which is close to where I grew up.)
Even tho I'm part Cherokee myself, I don't feel sorry for them like most do.
They still ? with white folks and they've received all types of reparations (and they shun Black folks who have Indian heritage, AND they owned slaves.)
Start paying taxes and give back those full scholarships to state schools and we'll change the Skins name to the Washington Pale-Faces.
Deal?
Yeah, didn't think so. Keep it movin, Tonto.

I think they should change. You tell me the last team to sign a black player, the team that had to have the Federal Government literally threaten them into doing it, that same owner didn't use the name Redskins on some racist ? ? To ignore that ? is just willful ignorance
-
The ? is definitely racist.
But it don't even make my top 100 most racist things in America.
Not even top 100 racist things in Washington D.C.
And that's because there are well over a hundred Senators and Congressman in dat bish.

We got Miccosukee tribe down here, they got their resort n Casino on the way to the Everglades....serving up gators and frog legs for lunch.

A name change is definitely in order.
The Washington White-? Peckerwood Devils has a nice ring to it.
I'd love to hear Chris Berman say that every week. -

Uhh.....
The term was used throughout the English-speaking world (and in equivalent transliterations in Europe) throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a common term of reference for indigenous Americans.
The term was once in common use, as evidenced in Western movies, but is now largely considered a pejorative and is seldom used publicly (aside from the football team.) As with any term perceived to be discriminatory, different individuals may hold differing opinions of the term's appropriateness. However, common wisdom appears to have settled on the notion that the term is a particularly egregious racial epithet that represents a ? era in American history in which Indigenous Americans were hunted, killed, and forcibly displaced removed from their lands by European settlers.
