In regards to the Redskins, just as what SmootSmack had posted, is pretty much the way I feel. The word is not used in a disparaging manner in today's society. Words change meanings. I believe just as some regular words turn into disparaging words throughout the years, I think the exact opposite can easily happen as well.
As being a fan, I don't believe I could ever get used to any other moniker except for one that would describe an American Indian. "The Washington Warriors"....I could probably live with that, or even the Washington Braves, but I would much rather keep it the Washington Redskins.

Sorry Skinsguy, my level of disgust for the team name change to Wizards must have been a little to thickly veiled? I am NOT a proponent for bending to such foolishly motivated PR moves.
I agree with you.......
