To me it's simple: the party that stands to be potentially injured by the name is the Native Americans. If you poll them, and you get close to 50/50, then I'd say that calls for a change.
But as long as every poll comes out saying that it doesn't bother the majority of them, then it's fine. I'm not interested in satisfying a whiny minority. I'm interested in what the majority of their ethnic group thinks.
The name should stay unless they say otherwise.

Agreed. And I thought this controversy was dead and buried with the outcome from the last lawsuit? If the Cleveland Indians decided it was best to remove their logo, then that's fine. However, completely different situation with the Redskins logo. It was created by a Native American Chief. At least, until someone gives me proof that such a story was fabricated, then that's what I'm rolling with. It's not like the Redskins logo is a cartoon depiction. I think it's an honorable logo. Of course, I'm a white guy, so what do I know?
