I do not care what our team name is. I was born and raised in the Washington DC area so I am a huge fan of the team. I would be a fan regardless of the name. The name means nothing to me.
If this is SO upsetting to you, you need to get a life.

So, should the NAACP change their name?

And everyones got it all wrong, Red was a man, he had native american blood, so the name was in reference to them being family . . . RED'SKINS.

It's just been misinterpreted for years.
