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.

If you truly believe every person that goes to a meeting is completely unified in their opinion of a topic and justify it because "why else would they go?" I don't believe there is any point in discussing this further. And I would like to quote you from another thread and say "Just because you say "wrong" doesn't mean that it's actually wrong". Some serious hypocrisy right here
