in 2001, Indian Country Today conducted a poll of an undisclosed number of readers reporting that "81 percent of respondents indicated use of American Indian names, symbols and mascots are predominantly offensive and deeply disparaging to Native Americans."[69] A 2014 AP poll showed that 83% felt the team should keep its name[70]

Notwithstanding the protests of activists, a 2002 poll commissioned by Sports Illustrated found that 75% of those American Indians surveyed had no objection to the Redskins name.[73]

But in 2004, a poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania supported the prior poll's findings, concluding that 91% of the American Indians surveyed in the 48 states on the mainland USA found the name acceptable and setting out in detail the exact wording of the questions.[76]

In actuality, use of Indian names and symbols gives a nod to American history and adds color (no pun intended) to team names. Their use is in no way demeaning and is much closer to a tribute than the former. It’s only when twisted through the distorted prism of political correctness that it can be perceived otherwise.

This agenda is about exercising unbridled influence and control by the Left over society. It’s part of a process to condition the citizens into accepting arbitrary constraints.
