I have followed this issue for years and its really a non issue with most Indians. Its more media driven today then anything else. Remember the big protest they planed several years back in Green Bay and about 6 people showed up. I watched a forum that was held at some place in DC and out of all the speakers only one person was an Indian. Redskin refers to Indians that would put red clay on their faces before they would go into battle. An Indian Chief designed the logo. Most Indians say they are proud or not offended by the name. Its a non issue made into an issue by the media. I hope Dan stands his ground but I'm sure the NFL will get involved if the name is not changed.
