But there is hypocrisy in the keep-the-name camp, too. Some Skins fans claim that the name honors Indians, yet these same people show no more concern for the real plight of real Indians than the change-the-name hypocrites. If Skins fans don't truly honor Indians, what right do they have to support keeping the name for the sake of honoring Indians?
Sadly there is a lot of hypocrisy on both sides.

There is but aren't there indian reservations out there that use the name Redskins for their HS teams? No one has given me a legitimate reason for the name to change. Also, comparing it to the N word is kinda stupid imo.
