UC Berkeley is known for having an agenda.
Step onto the campus with a different viewpoint and you get assaulted.

Simply a response to the previous comment about bias in the polls/studies.

Sure, but it is an excellent academic institution. Any study, survey, or poll they do is going garner some interest.
The problem with polls is that NOBODY actually reads them let alone scrutinizes them. But we all love to quote them, especially if it fits our pov.

Most polls are created to achieve predetermined results.
When you look at the metrics, it's never balanced. The last Presidential election really exposed that.

I'm honestly sick of talking politics too...but it was forced upon us and took over our sport, which used to be an ESCAPE from politics.
I'll try not to get sucked back in so much, at least in the Locker Room.
I just want to see the players on the field, preferably running, not kneeling, and sing HAIL TO THE REDSKINS again. :D
We're all here because we love this team, whatever it's called...so there's no reason to turn on each other.

It was years ago, but the three earlier polls used standard methodology.
I am unable to scrutinize the UCB one as I would have to shell out money and since it is game over, there is no point.
But, examining the comments of someone who did, one finds this:
Startlingly, for a poll about a football team, only 31 percent of the respondents were “Cisgender men,” the other 69 percent being “Cisgender women; transgender, nonbinary, and genderqueer people;” the Berkeley survey authors found that the latter were significantly more opposed to the team name. The Post sample, by contrast, was 49 percent male. It also appears that the Berkeley survey’s respondents skewed younger (typical for an online survey), with 47 percent under the age of 35; the Post sample had a higher share of respondents age 50 or older (39 percent) than the Berkeley survey’s 33 percent who were aged 45 or older. Again, the younger respondents were much more opposed.
Not what I would call objective, but it's all moot now.

Absolutely. I will also be open to new gear only if the name is close to the Indian or Chief. If it is the Wolf or Retails forget it. No way I'm wearing that nonsense.
