The redskins have a deep and loyal fan base. The redskins won multiple Super Bowls in the 80's and 90's. Changing the name would damage their brand and legacy.Quote:

You're comparing apples to oranges. Please provide another major sports franchise on the level of the Washington redskins that changed their brand name and continued on with success.
I wonder how many white people would be offended by "the whiteys"? One maybe two people? If any at all. Certainly wouldn't effect my life one bit. Now if I can get the Bucs to start being an ok team again. Of course as a pirate myself, i am a bit offended by the name buccaneer, it takes away the scary pirate feel.
Well said.Quote:
