I think we should go with the spear that was on the anniversary helmets, keep the name, and invest into projects and program for native american and the needs relevan to their community.
IF we were actually offending Native Americans, I'd be with you. The only people really "offended" are white guys sitting in taxpayer-provided offices in D.C.

Another argument that needs to DIE. I wrote a research paper about this way back in about '91 in Junior High School and how actual Indians either don't care or are honored by the Redskins and sports team names.

It's popular to be "offended" though.
