    William and Mary went from “the Indians” to “the Tribe” but still was forced to drop the two feathers from it’s logo. Now when the ‘animal rights’ groups start in, there won’t be many names left for sports teams. I appreciate the admirable impulse of not wanting to insult anybody, but I can’t help thinking that there are better things for people to spend their time worrying about, or trying to change.

    Dan Snyder should also be blushing at his incompetence as an owner. I think Maureen Dowd has it right: watch any western, and the term “redskin” is NEVER anything other than a derogatory term.

    The Charlotte Hornets were named as a historical reference to the city. Then the owner picked up his team and moved, becoming the New Orleans Hornets. The Athletics moved to L.A., the Jazz moved to (!) Salt Lake City… Big deal. Change the name.

    Tigger: Don’t do much Bible reading do you? Try Judges; Deborah recruited Barak to defend the country (hardly a terrorist task) and he did it quite well.

    If it is so silly and crap then change it to the Black Skins then or the Aryan Supermen why don’t you?If any NFL team is going to adopt that name, it’s gonna be Dallas! Just google “America’s Team”…

    A solution for the Washington Redskins that allows them to keep their name. They just have to change their mascot: pic.twitter.com/fdWTgNEf5b
