This subject bugs me. The Redskins name pertains to the Redskin team players, not people out there in society who don't even pay attention to the game much less a team. Why do people ascribe it to themselves and say it is derogatory, racist, defamatory, etc, when they are not the ones nor the group being CALLED this term?

The Redskins players surely do not feel persecuted, victims of racism, nor defamed, when the 82 players' salaries range from $288,000 to $5,600,0000!

Shouldn't it be up to the people (players) actually called Redskins, Indians, Braves, etc.????
