I don't really find the names offensive... though I suppose if you support those teams keeping those names you should have no problem with a new franchise like the "Toronto Whiteskins" starting up in the NFL.
The issue as I see it mostly revolves around the fact that, back when they were naming these teams, it was acceptable to use "Chiefs", "Redskins", "Braves", "Indians". I don't think those sort of names would be used for new/expansion teams these days though.
