And the Smithsonian connection where it appears the name wasn't as widely offensive as some would have us believe.
But now the name has been drug through the mud so many times and is more associated with being the latest embarrassment to the NFL that I don't care if it's changed. Being a shitshow for 20 odd years and doing things like bringing in Reuben Foster has done more damage to the name than that upstate-NY tribe ever could.
