As a Native American, I am deeply offended by the name Washington "Redskins". This is a derogatory term to stereotype an entire North American Peoples. I am more then sure, that if Washington changed there name to the "Yellowskins" and everybody painted there faces Yellow to symbolize Asian peolpe and had Ninja's as there mascot, that the asian community would be deeply offended. Even the term, Washington "Blackskins" could be used, and the team like they do now, have to hire a bunch of "Whiteskins" to paint there faces black, to symbolize the team, and mascots which might be a ZULU warrior or a Blood or a Crypt.
The National Football League, and human rights commissions need to come together and discuss the derogatory, and racist sports names they need to get rid of such as the Washington Redskins. Even in MLB, the term Indian is incorrect, as it was a word used by the European Immigrants to take away from there nationhoods.
Either way, this needs to be changed, solved, resolved, dissolved, and relieved. Im will never support racism, and neither should anybody around the world. Racism is a tough thing, if you are on the wrong side of it.
