I have a feeling the tribe spokesman, "Brett Stagnitti" , is not 100% Indian..

Cough cough!! LARGE family here, Patriots territory, Native Americans, AND diehard Redskins fans. Leave the name alone! There is only .001% of Native people who are offended, and the guy Snyder is meeting with has been challenged regarding his native blood, so not even one of them.

“indians are always aggrieved about something.”

This moron who says he represents the Oneida nation is not even a member of the tribe. He’s a commie plant whose been paid heap big wampum to create chaos. He’s a tomato - red on the outside and red on the inside.

Why?

Are they the ones that war-painted themselves completely in red, to scare their enemies?

Halbritter, whose tribe runs a large casino resort in Verona in central New York, says the name is degrading and has devastating effects, especially on younger Indians.

If he is really worried about "degrading" and "devastating" effects on younger Indians he ought to be meeting with Budweiser.

Now that it as been proven that American Indians were not Native Americans, nor were they the FIRST people here, I suggest the following suggested new names for the Redskins:

The Washington Post-Clovis Asian Migrants

The Washington Melanin-Advantaged Hordes

The Washington Bering Land Bridge Aboriginal
