I think the name Redskins has been used so often and for so long that people just accept it; not that that is right, but I think most people don't think of the name as being derogatory, which probably isn't a good thing.

What would happen if a New York sports team called themseves the NY N-----s? (I don't mean Nannies.). I don't think any smart person would find that acceptable, so I can see why people see Redskins as unacceptable.
