Why does a team choose a name? What goes into it? What vision does it project? What is the plan going forward.
The team chooses the name because they see it as noble, one they would be proud to be associated with, one they see as a strong honorable name from history, one that projects strength honor and pride, one they can build on for the future.
My, how insulting it must be for Native Americans to realize a team and it’s fans think highly enough of them, they want the image of them to be a part of their persona.
I wish Native Americans would fall in behind the Redskins team. Hell, give 250 of them season tickets on the fifty yard line. Have a drawing each year and choose another fifty.
Put together some half-time shows depicting the ancient way of life for Native Americans.
Let the negative folks go look for chestnuts.
Well said.
