3. This idea of pacifiying people who are offended by something rarely achieves anything. I doubt there has been anyone in the history of the US that has been impacted in their life because the football team in Washington DC name their club "Redskins".
Part of the reason that this has gotten any momentum, is the successful lobbying of the Washington Bullets to change their name, due to an alleged association with violence (which is stupid, BTW).

No, the Bullets didn't have a tenth of the name brand that the Redskins do, but one little libby victory gives them hope that more, much bigger victories will follow.

It's nothing more than a group of people looking to pat themselves on the back and say "hey, look at what we accomplished."

But they are picking a fight they have no chance of winning.

Good luck with that . . . .
