How about New Jersey being offensive to inhabitants of the Jersey Islands?? Same for New York. Or, Delaware using the English name rather than the real indian name for the place?
On and on it goes, where it stops, no one knows. Maybe Kunta Kinte gets his real name back too?

There is apparently a public school that has a “Redskins” mascot - that is also nearly 100% Navajo.

Only if Alex Haley does a Dracula move, and changes his name to Chicken George.

And if, as an Irish American, I found General Mill’s trademark “Lucky Charms” breakfast cereal and the Leprechaun cartoon character to be offensive, would they take that one away, too?

The Packers are not named for cheese packing.................

Haha. They can always be “Sharks 1”

Don’t forget about all that rap music that is offensive, if the N-word, bitches and hos, or gun references are used in the song then the patent should be made null and void.

I know, but their fans are still cheeseheads.

Whatever one's view about the name "Redskins,"

Here's a better opening for articles on this topic...

"Whether or not you are a part of the miniscule minority of people that consider the name "Redskins" offensive ..."
