But I think you've gone off the track when you suggest that the names Cotton Balls and Cheesburgers could cause as much furor as the name Redskins. Any equivalent names would refer to skin color and race, such as Whiteskins, Blackskins, Brownskins, or Yellowskins. Who doesn't know that race is a hot button in our society? So I think it would be better for a business like the Washington Redskins to try to avoid contoversial societal issues altogether.

The bottom line for me is that it would not bother me if Dan Snyder were to change the team name.
Then you might as well change the name of the Vikings.
Then you might as well change the name of the Cowboys.
Then you might as well change the name of the Buccaneers.
Then you might as well change the name of the Fighting Irish.
Then you might as well change the name of the Raiders.
Then you might as well change the name of the Browns.
Then you might as well change the name of the Chiefs.
Then you might as well change the name of the Patriots.
Then you might as well change the name of the Pirates.

The list can go on and on. Most of those I listed are groups that were considered violent toward other ethnic groups, name of a color, or glorifying people who commit crimes. So let's just change anything and everything in our history and culture that may offend someone, so that we can all walk together on eggshells happy and gleeful. [/sarcasm]
