I'm not meaning to insult you,just typing an example of what should take place as an argument if you mean it
Anyone else pick up on the irony? #you're

To echo what others have said, my emotional attachment to the team goes beyond the name. I honestly don't care what they're called it's not that serious to me. I've been a fan since '81 and if they are called the Redskins, Redfins, Redmins or whatever, it won't impact how fervently I am rooting for a win each and every time they step onto the field.

I lean towards a name change for 2 simple reasons, primarily because I believe it's the right thing to based on if there is a group that's being offended. Secondarily because I'm tired of the debate and our team name and reputation getting bandied about on each side of things. I wish we could just focus on football for once.
