persuade the Washington Redskins to change their mascot name. NBC and Bob Costas referenced the issue at halftime of tonights game and seemed to support the idea that the name is offensive toward native americans. Will all the other teams, professional and collegiate, have to change their names also??

I dont like Dan Snyder but I think this is his right. With all the real stuff people could worry about that matters all of this "boo whoo the mascot's name offends me" is pretty darn weak.

I also find it comes up when a sports team is doing well (not in this case). Which tell me it gets used to raise the profile of organizations wanting attention and having trouble attracting it.

This PC nonsense is ridiculous. Thank the leftists who brought this on. We have REAL problems in this country.....sports teams' names isn't one of them. HTTR!

Just change one letter and FSU could be the Semi-Holes.

That wouldn't offend any group.

There have been several similar fights in colleges. Didn't North Dakota change away from Fighting Sioux and then change it back?

I say leave Dan Snyder alone. Boycott the team if you don't like it. If I were Snyder, I would start developing a mascot that was even more offensive...but legal.
