Read this and weep, oh falsely offended attention-seekers.

Actually respect is not just a matter of opinion.
Several posts here have called for respect for and honoring of Indians. Yet you have argued against these posts because of, in your own words, your opinion.
Therefore you have freely chosen to honor your own opinion instead of showing respect to Indians. While others may still make this claim, it is BS for you to claim that the name "Redskins" honors Indians, because you actually have refused to do so. As such, you are the poster child for the "Redskins name leads to disrespect for Indians" argument.
Congratulations, you have proven right the change-the-name contingent, right before our eyes.
