At this point, you're being facetious to mask your absolute lack of a point

Gotcha. In that case, if there is a case made for it... then I absolutely support a name change. Considering it's not widely (at least I didn't know) accepted as derogatory... I can't see it being a pertinent issue.
The Redskins however, needs immediate change. It's so blatantly offensive it's laughable.
Blackhawks, being heralded as one of the best logos in sports history will be much tougher and like the Eskimos isn't widely understood to be offensive. So I see that having a very little chance to be changed.
Indians, as I mentioned earlier is something I've constantly heard being a term corrected to 'Native Americans'. Doubt it's changed due to it being tough to categorize as offensive so much as it's insensitive.
