Wow. They are really putting the heat on the owner of the Washington Redskins. Is it just me or are we more easily offended these days? “Redskins” has been around for more than 80 years.
Living in an area with copious numbers of Navajo and Hopi Indians, I know many who refer to themselves collectively as “the red man” and similar “red” names. It seems to me that not all American Indians are offended at being called “red”.
Be that as it may, people continue to pile on the beset “redskins” name. They are now attempting to affect marketing of the “Redskins” brand so as to cost the team owner lots of money.
I have a solution: keep the name but change the team mascots to sunburned, bikini-clad babes. No more “offense” to American Indians. More fetching logo.
Done.
