RE: Most Native Americans are NOT opposed to the name of the team.

Team officials and the NFL paint a nearly uniform picture of support for the name, typically citing the results of a 2004 survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, that 90 percent of the 768 self-identified Native Americans polled said the team name “Redskins” did not bother them.

The question: “The professional football team in Washington calls itself the Washington Redskins. As a Native American, do you find that name offensive or doesn’t it bother you?”.

That survey is 10 years old. Can the same opinion be applied today?

How is that even relevant?

This is all about white liberals feeling good about themselves, and forcing their will on everyone else.
