Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

From my experience, Native Americans don't find the Redskin name offensive. For example, last month I was driving to Grants, NM, which goes through the Laguna Pueblo. I stopped for gas and a Laguna cop saw me wearing a Redskin tee and went out of his way to hold open a door for me. I thank him and he replied "Only cause your a Redskin fan" with a smile.

That's just one Native American. Ask a group from the Sioux nation, Cheerokee nation, Apache nation, or/and Choctaw nation if the Redskin name is offensive and most of them will say that it is.

Actually polls cited in this article say the opposite:
SI.com - Magazine - SI Flashback: The Indian Wars - Wednesday August 17, 2005 10:10AM

And it is spelled "Cherokee."
