Smithsonian Museum - yet another thread on team name

A lot of that Dan brought on himself with his early moves when he bought the team, but to think this article is anything more than just an attempt to slam Snyder is basically wrong.

I hope eventually the Post and the Skins kiss and make up, but until then I'll rely on several other far more accurate, and less biased, sources for Skins community news.

This and Wise just has a stick in his butt on this. Different philosophies are at work. My feeling is that it isn't meant to be offensive, quite the opposite really, and it isn't universally regarded as racist so the PC folks can go pound sand. I have a real problem with the notion that a few people can get upset over something that isn't actually hurting them in any real way and then effect change. The other side thinks these people, infinitesimally insignificant in numbers as they are, get to decide what's best for everyone else.
