First of all - welcome. We are entering our 9th year as a website, so yes, this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, no doubt about that. The idea that 'Redskin' is racist is a manufactured 'truth'. Since the naming of the team after moving from Boston in the mid 30's, if you walked into any bar, restaurant, mall, or other public space and yelled 'I hate the Redskins!', there would not be a single person - not ONE anywhere who would believe you were talking about anything other than an NFL team.
Why? Because in the lexicon of American language and history, the term 'Redskin' was never broadly used as an epithet for Native Americans. When polls are done with the Native American community, it's clear that the vast majority don't view the name as an 'epithet', nor do they find it offensive. Of course there are those who do. But I think the most obvious point anyone could make is that no one labels a team they own with a moniker meant to degrade, mock, or belittle. They give their sports team a name that represents courage, bravery, ferocity, or honor.
We live in an age of revisionism and group think where if a single individual finds offense with something, it must be mobbed, swarmed, and undone. Dan Snyder is on record as saying 'We will never change the name'.
I believe him.
