Also, I'm biased because I'm a big fan of this team called the Washington Redskins. Losing the name means losing its identity, IMHO. I know others could deal with it, and in time, I probably could as well, but I can't help to believe that the name is and has always been meant to honor Native Americans not to disparage them. But as I said, it's not for me to decide, it's up to the Native Americans.

I think the leading group in this movement is the Oneida Nation, who are Native Americans. It's been recently that the likes of Harry Reid and others have become involved.
