Mascot Issue (AGAIN)

[jdlea]

I know, I know, we've covered this a million times. However, tonight the Illinois Illini intend to retire their mascot, Chief Illiniwek (a chief in stereotypical Native American garb). At one point do the Redskins have to seriously consider dropping the moniker? I have always been very much against the idea because I grew up on the Skins, however, it seems like, more and more, teams around the country are becoming much more PC when it comes to the naming of their mascots and teams. The NCAA has forced a purge of Native American names.

Kornheiser and Wilbon have agreed that "Redskins" is absolutely the worst offense. They said Braves and Chiefs were borderline, Indians is really touchy and Redskins is clearly the worst. At this point it seems like only a matter of time before the Skins consider dropping the name. Not sure exactly how I feel about that. What about you all?
