I don’t disagree that there are far more important issues and causes but what happens if people want to change the names of schools or streets or towns and cities named after former US presidents or founding fathers because some deem it representative of something offensive from the past?
I would guess it would be discussed and reasonable people can determine the proper course of action.
If that were to happen then people in the relevant community would have to decide what they think about the matter and then make the best decision they are capable of. Just because something has been one way for a long time doesn’t mean it has to always be that way. The Washington Redskins team name is not in the Ten Commandments or the Bill of Rights. It’s just a stupid nickname (as are all team nicknames when you think about it) for a business entity representing the capital city of the country.
If the Munich, Germany soccer team were to change its name to the Hook-nosed Moneylending Christ-killers, do you think people would be offended? I do. I am Jewish which is why I am using these metaphors, because they resonate for me personally, and by analogy I can see how an American Indian would be offended by the Redskins, but much less so by the Blackhawks. (Chief Wahoo, on the other hand.......)
