"The Demise and Removal of the Washington Redskins Logo Petition"

I am mostly white with some Cherokee blood, and I love the Redskins. I look at the symbol as one of honor for the Native Americans. They were warriors as all the peoples and tribes in this world have been. When I see the current Redskin symbol, I only have positive thoughts of the Native Americans. Every Sunday when the Redskins play everyone who watches mostly sees a football game, but some will see a positive symbol of a proud people, and some will only think of what they had, and will never have again.

These people may get their way, and what will they be left with? The remembrance of their people and what they once were will fade even more into a distance memory.
Some of these name changes are crazy; soon there will be no Indian names at all. The Native Americans will then have truly vanished from the modern arena of warfare, called sports.

Good post. Thanks for your imput and welcome to The Warpath!
