I guess the woke people just want Native Americans to be known as the people that own lots of casinos. No references of any kind allowed. Are we going to be offended for them until they're erased from any national relevance? I don't get the end game.
I'm not for or against changing the name, I really don't care what they are called. As I have said, keep the logo and colors, drop the name and just call them Washington. Or use the spear logo minus the feather and call them the Lancers. Whatever, it doesn't matter they are still the same team.

I don't think anyone at a Redskins game sings HTTR thinking they want to offend Native Americans. On the other hand I doubt anyone would go up to a Native American and say "Hello Redskin" anymore than they'd say "Hello (insert racial slur)" to an African American or Hispanic. Times change, attitudes change, and for better or worse Washington's football team's name is going to change.
