OMG! This is pathetically amusing and I would cry if it wasn’t so funny!
Indians want the name, “Redskins,” to be gone.
Oh, wait! Now there are Indians who want the name, “Redskins,” to be reinstated!
God, what a country this is, huh?

Indians want the name, “Redskins,” to be gone. I'm not convinced that was ever true.
I think it was mainly pudgy middle-aged blonde White women with wedge haircuts ...

RIP Chief Zee and Crazy Ray.

As usual when we were consulted the answer ranged from "we like it" to "Meh" with less then ten percent getting their feathers in an uproar.
That survey was quietly buried because who cares what the American Indians think about it. The Great White Liberal in Washington knows best.

There was a small group of Native American Activists that had the ear of the left who wanted the name gone. The bulk appear to have never wanted it gone and said so, but were drowned out and ignored by the media.
