It may be to some, but we all have different experiences and make our own choices on how we will proceed now that it is no longer.
I definitely don't know what the "majority" of Native Americans think about all of this, but I don't mind hearing the stories that people have - especially through personal experience.
Anyway - yay Josh!

Yup. 52 years old Chief. Been a fan since I can remember walking. A lot of relatives from DC. Definitely was/is weird to not be the Redskins. I never thought it was racist or wrong really. Defended it by saying the guy on the helmet was proud etc not like Chief Wahoo. But I find myself now saying what if we had some asian warrior on our helmets and were called the yellowskins? I honestly asked myself that question. It seems wrong to me so my brain overrode my heart and said Redskins is wrong too. [emoji2371]
That’s just my feelings on it and I myself will let it go….again. Lol.
Oh and yes YAY JOSH!!!!
