I was pretty indifferent about this and thought it was silly as I've never viewed the term "Redskins" as derogatory in any way. But then a friend pointed out what if there was a team called the San Francisco Chinks? Yah, that would probably piss me off, so I'm pretty sold now.

Racism part aside, as an Asian I can't even tell us apart sometimes, haha...
On a semi-related note, several years ago I went to a Stampede party hosted by one of our vendors in which they randomly handed out name tags with various old west themed nicknames on it like "Cottonmouth", "Tumbleweed", and etc. I ended up with "Yellow-Belly", so I go to the event host (jokingly), "Are you sure these are handed out randomly?". Needless to say, my 4 drink tickets suddenly became unlimited.
