Keith: I luv ya but this time I have to disagree with you. This is solely Daniel Snyder’s call, and if you don’t like it you don’t have to purchase Redskin gear or cheer his team. (Personally, I hope that he changes the name to the Washington Kikes. We Jews don’t have much in the world of sports to cheer for.)
Every poll of Native Americans generally show over 80% have no problem with the nickname. It appears to be whiny white liberals who have their panties in a wad about it.Pussies.

No lie, one time I came across a Native American wearing a Redskins sweatshirt. I didn’t say anything to him about it.

I think they’d have changed the name by now if it were the Washington Darkies.

Not originally an epithet, apparently originated by the peoples themselves.
Well balanced piece on the origin of the term: Washington PostAlso: Academic Paper
That said, if the target of the term don’t like it, I say change it.
