What's your solution?
I don't see any way to effectively fight the wave of PCness that is sweeping the country. If it were just white governement liberals and the current minority of NAs that made up this particular part of the wave(the anti-Redskins angle), we could fight back. But this wave is like a tornado, tearing through the country and sucking up pretty much everyone in its path. It is now quite popular to either be offended at something, or to jump on someone else's "offense" bandwagon and go to town... or court... or the internet... and spread whatever outrage you're offended by, in order to gain the masses' sympathy, and/or soothe your own guilty conscience, and/or attempt to lift yourself up by putting on a show of sympathy or despairing offendedness. And so because of that, there's not just a few pro-name change people like there were in 90s; it's the majority of the country now, in my opinion. Seriously, there's even Redskins fans who have given in and have pity for those on the pro-name change side.
Remember this quote: "It isn't what it is, Tommy. It is never what it is. It's what it can be made to look like?" That is truth, ladies and gentleman... unfortunately, these people are very good at making the Redskins and our name look bad.
As long as Snyder is the owner, I think it's doubtful the name will change, unless some higher authority steps in and absolutely forces him to change it, which isn't entirely out of the question. I hope he continues to fight as long as possible, but I really don't see any way he can win.
