Wouldn’t that be offensive to Native Americans? Especially the Washington Redskins.

Kudos to you, Phil. It's bold moves like yours that are going to stop global racism in its tracks.

Easy to understand how it looks to use the desk of an avowed racist ... and I wonder also how we can remember the good things that the man did as well. Hard to see balance in so many aspects of today's society.

How many names on the Declaration of Independence are going to be stricken because they were slave holders or committed some other sort of PC transgression?

If it were a bold move he would have done it before it became fashionable. Now he's just following the crowd.,
