Football Solving the Redskin Dilemma

This whole argument for changing the name has next to zero credibility.

1. If it is offensive now, it was offensive X number of years ago when the team was founded.

2. The name "Washington Redskins" is a brand. If Snyder thought he would gain a larger fanbase by changing the name, or lose a large number of fans for NOT changing the name, he'd do it in a heart beat.

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".

This needs to be put in the trash heap of meaningless debates yesterday.
