I did a search and did not see where this has been brought up recently, but it's making headlines againRedskins name deemed "Racial Slur".
The article even mentions protests and asking RG3 to get involved.
At one time I think I would have found it silly to even think about changing something so familiar and tradition filled. But now I wonder if it is truly offensive to someone of that race, maybe a name change isn't the worst idea.
We all are aware of the history of racism in this country, and a team name with almost any other racial slur being changed wouldn't even be up for debate.
Am I just turning way too leftist in my old age, or is there reason to consider this?
