I have a great deal of empathy for the plight of Native Americans but have also been a fan of the Redskins for almost 50 years. I personally have never thought of the Redskins name as offensive but then thought maybe I am being insensitive.

I asked a 20 plus year friend of mine who is 1/2 Seminole and 1/2 Lakota if he or members of his family who live on the Seminole reservation in Hollywood Florida find the name Redskins, Seminoles, Braves or Indians to be offensive. He said HELL NO. That's good enough for me.
