I don't have a link but I recall reading somewhere that Goodell said that they should discuss/consider changing the name if it offends people. The very reason there's a thread for this now and we're discussing it (well, some are discussing others are just internet slapping at each other) is that this issue is gaining more and more momentum.
I've never gotten an answer to the following question so if a pro-Redskins person could answer it I'd appreciate it:
"Why do you support the name Redskins?"
The only answers I've heard so far are the likes of:
-"the PC crowd doesn't get to dictate to me"
-"it's not an offensive term so why should they change it?"
-"there are too many special interest groups and this is all about politics anyways"
But these aren't pro-Redskins arguments, they're anti-anti-Redskins arguments. So what are the pro-Redskins arguments? Who is it helping to have the name Redskins and who will it hurt to remove the name Redskins?
