What do want Dan Snyder to do about that? Should he run for office on a platform to end political correctness or should he just resolve the issue as it relates to his NFL franchise? He could do the latter by simply changing the name of his team.

So history is to be re-written for the modern shifts and ideas of society? This is the same way of thinking that is trying to force the Catholic Church to abandon its values and provide contraception at their universities and perform gay marriages in their churches.
Sometimes, standing your ground is more important than going with what's popular, because tomorrow it will be different.
Look at the state of our society...the celebrity worship over learning history and following the news...the addiction to cellphones instead of playing with our children...letting the schools and Government be the parents of our kids...all of the people who'd rather sit at home and collect welfare than work and be proud of their contributions to society...
we're supposed to listen to these people and just throw away 80 years of tradition because of how they feel today?
No. We should stand our ground and they'll get over it and move on to an easier target for their "activism", because in reality, they're not REALLY offended by our name, they're just trying to make a name for themselves for personal, political reasons.
It's been well documented, actual Native Americans aren't offended...just a bunch of white liberal lawyers who want attention say they are.
Hell yeah I'm passionate about defending my team. And...I have some Cherokee in me so I guess I am qualified to speak.
