You have proved nothing with that article other than you making a massive assumption of the 566 tribes. As for your posting style, I think you are passive aggressive because of comments like "Good enough for you?" And "Being facetious is definitely the best way to disguise lacking a point.". I don't think it's necessary and it comes across as baiting to me in an attempt to anger the other posters who disagree with you.

All 566 support the cause, as does the man they elected as the leader of the National Congress of American Indians.
They all went to lobby Obama to do something, so I'm safe in my assumption that they entire group of people who went to lobby one particular thing believe in that one particular thing. Are you instead suggesting that hundreds of tribe leaders who went to Washington in support of lobbying the president to encourage the change of the Redskins name do not, in fact, support the cause they lobbied for? Is that what you're suggesting?
Your comparison between hundreds of tribal leaders supporting a cause and a poll that polled anyone who would answer (regardless of cultural credibility) is inane.
If I'm making an assumption of 566 tribal leaders, I'm making the very same assumption as every journalist who reported on that event.
Your argument is dead.
