Injun givers
How about the Washington Neolithic Hunter-Gatherers?
Whining on about the name of a football team, a mascot, a school name, whatever imaginary grievance you want distracts the “victim” group from thinking about the miserable job being done to solve their actual problems. BLM, Democrats, etc. use the same method: create an imaginary grievance that solves nothing and push on it with everything you’ve got.

Put it to a vote in the Indian Community.
Don’t leave the issue up to the people who hate this country and shout the loudest... PUT THE ISSUE TO A VOTE.
“The letter was signed by 15 Native American advocates ...”
In other words, 15 Native American race hustlers.
I’m under the impression that the average Native American either doesn’t care, or likes the name.
I’ve been out getting my Vit D.
Too much maybe.
My skin is red!
And . . . here come the ‘natives’ (I was born here too) to peel off my epidermis as racist.
Change the logo to a potato and keep the name.
Problem solved.
Once the Redskins change their name, it won’t stop there. Next on the list is the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Chiefs and more.
They probably do not even watch football.
Don’t tell them what “Oklahoma” means.
The Washington Redskins began life as the Boston Braves - the same name as the baseball team with whom they shared a stadium.
"Lone Star" Dietz was their coach. He had been a teammate of Jim Thorpe at the Carlisle Indian school.
In 1933, George Preston Marshall, the owner of the team, changed the name to the Boston Redskins.
Marshall said he wanted to keep the Indian theme of the name as an honor to the Native Americans and, especially, to Dietz.
Every group wants to flex it’s muscles by pushing weak willed organizations around. That’s really all they want.

Please remind me... Who won the Indian Wars?
Aha. They see their chance in this current turbulent climate and move in.
Just play by their rules, delegate the name to the reservation dust bin, repeat for all “indian” references, then put up an eternal plaque that names all 15 of the aggrieved, crediting them for the banishing of all such references in sports culture. Sports is dying, anyway.
Like to see how many ACTUAL PEOPLE are represented by that 15 number.
Like, maybe, FIFTEEN?
