So if the politicians in Washington are pressuring the Redskins to change their name (which they are doing), what's stopping them from targeting other team names that could be deemed "offensive?" The Cowboys could be in danger because they slaughtered thousands of Indians, so people could be offended by that name.The Buccaneers and Raiders represent pirates, and they raped and pillaged thousands of people, so people could be offended by these names, too.The Giants name could be targeted for a change since smaller people could be offended.New Orleans could be targeted by atheists that are offended by the name Saints.I still have yet to see the native Americans lined up to protest the name Redskins. In fact, there has actually been a lot of support for the name because it's not used in a disparaging manner. See what a slippery slope this could become?
